Aiming Drill For many archers aiming entails placing the pin in the vicinity of the spot and releasing the shaft, this will result in the arrow landing in the general vicinity of the spot sometimes. We hope it makes it to the X when in fact we should be aiming at the X and not excepting just the general vicinity as being good enough. Aiming drills may be of some assistance for archers experiencing Target Panic however as TP is a symptom of other problems it is always best to look for the core problem with expert assistance if possible. The following drill should be used extensively until you are proficient and then incorporate it into your weekly training program Load and draw your bow splash the pin right into the X at 20ft don’t move it timidly make it go right into the X hold it in the zone as long as you can then don’t release let down, repeat this three times then rest till your breathing recovers do it again and again until you are comfortable then move back by 5 yards. The purpose of this drill is to reinforce your ability to hold on the spot, as you are not going to release the shaft the mental pressure will be reduced and you will find it becomes easy to hold on the spot. Aiming should be primarily a process involving the large group of muscles of the torso and back not the fast twitch muscles of the arms and rotor cuff as these will tend to overcompensate and cause overcorrection. As with everything in archery muscle memory will become reprogrammed and aiming will become totally automated with lots of repetition. |
