#slavicdraw

July 14th, 2020. I draw back to bowstring so that my curled middle finger touches the point of my jaw (not underneath it) while the index finger holds the arrow against the right side of the bow. I release cleanly, both hands still, having better control with my back and shoulder muscles in play. That’s a detail that a lot of beginner archers don’t think about and then it has a ripple effect. You need to know from the beginning to use your shoulders, not rely on your arms to do all the work because otherwise you’ll mess up your shots. #slavicdraw #speedshooting #showershooting #recurvebows #arrow #carbonarrow #fletching #archerylifestyle🎯 #targetpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoKst4hWcO/?igshid=d6tk28noo2ud

“Relax your grip. Allow the bow to rest in your palm. Now try.” #robinhood2018 The key is to let the bow set itself naturally in your hand as you draw back. Overlapping the index finger with the thumb helps to prevent the bow from swinging to the right. #targetpractice🎯 #archerylifestyle🎯 #slavicdraw #larsanderson #taronegerton #cozmeimihai #showershooting #arminhirmer #saracenarchery #arabarchery https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZXhExhvcb/?igshid=p56qokeqnclx

Securing the handle on both side with my finger and thumb so it won’t swing to the right #slavicdraw #showershootingarchery #larsanderson #robinhood2018 #saracenarchery #arabarchery #recurvebows #historicalarchery https://www.instagram.com/p/CCUJqwYB8yQ/?igshid=nnf1rhwtu3fm

This keeps you sharp (I did this with the sand mound behind my “target”). What you do is take the arched/curved stick and mount it with a shorter one like an easel. Once you do that, the goal is to hit the stick that’s holding the arched one up and knock them over. So this was me testing the Slavic draw with my middle and ring fingers at the point of my jaw. When I did it just a few minutes ago, THAT right there is the first (and only) shot before it started raining #arrow #slavicdraw #sharpshooting #archerylifestyle🎯 #larsanderson #robinhood2018 #recurvebow #saracenarchery #arabarchery #targetpractice🎯 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMvO96BUiE/?igshid=138gqw04p6pov

See that? That’s freedom, my friends. #archerylifestyle🎯 #robinhood2018 #slavicdraw #recurvebow #targetpractice #saracenarchery #arabarchery #showershootingarchery https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9RMaVB4kO/?igshid=1fl9s0q6z9f95

“Relax your grip. Allow the bow to rest in your palm. Now try.” “Turn your hand into a quiver. The more arrows you can hold, the more arrows you can fire.” #littlejohn #robinhood2018 #slavicdraw #archerylifestyle🎯 #arrow #recurvebow #mihaicozmei #showershootingarchery #saracenarchery #arabarchery #larsanderson #targetpractice Key thing here, too, is holding the next nocks all in line between your fingers here. Requires less hand movements to go from arrow to arrow that way https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMYBCzB6bp/?igshid=1m1vjh8iyi73x

Maintaining proper archery form; standing sideways, bow pulled to full draw, shooting directly in order to get my arrows close together #archerylifestyle🎯 #slavicdraw #recurvebow #targetpractice #rangersapprenticeseries #robinhood2018 #brave #arrow https://www.instagram.com/p/B_f2OV4hPqi/?igshid=1tkegfdugztj0
