Without consistency and proper form, many new archers may make these common mistakes:
- Using the wrong bow
Before choosing a bow, archers should consider one based on their current shooting skill and personal needs. The choice also depends on the size, weight, and shape that archers prefer.
- Having poor form
Proper form is essential for every archer. Form affects balance, the ability to hit the target, and the shot's strength. Proper stance, the foundation for the shot, affects the archers’ center of gravity. A solid posture equals a stable aim and strong shots. Maintaining proper posture while shooting requires constant practice.
- Taking too long when aiming
Many archers take a long time to aim, thinking it will result in a better shot. This is a false assumption since drawing an arrow builds tension that worsens when the arrow is not released. This often results in a heavy and shaky hand, which makes hitting the target difficult.
