After watching some Olympic archery and reading that they
shoot at 76.5 yards, I decided that I needed to at least get good with my
recurve bow at 15 yards. Pulling back on the string, I focused on anchoring the
heel of my palm to the same place on my check every shot. Pushing forward with
my straight arm while keeping tension with my back, I ‘felt’ my way to the
target, as intuitive aiming with a recurve is often much more effective than
trying to look. As I released each arrow, I saw it to the target, keeping my
stabilizing arm steady until it hit the mark.

With this very zen like technique and a powerful body
position, I started hitting where I was aiming and after shooting a few rounds
with my brother and friends, we all started radically improving too. Nothing
like a little Olympic action to motivate improvement. And a good photographer
like my friend Andrew to get some epic shots.
