    Shot sequence: The 4 steps

    When we start archery, we learn there are 8/9/10/etc shot steps / elements of form. Can we simplify it and make things more fluid? How about: 1) Stand A consistent stance is important. Anyone with normal athletic ability can stand up straight and look to one side over their shoulder. Do this...

    Equipment for a 5 year old

    I want to start teaching my soon-to-be-5 year old daughter to shoot this summer. She has expressed a lot of interest lately. I suspect she may be seen as too young for most AGB clubs, and there are no IFAA/EFAA clubs nearby, so we will probably only shoot in the garden at home for the next year...

    steadiness / aiming better

    How steady is your aim? How big is your "float"? How much do you think this matters/helps/hinders your shooting? How can you get it better? Do you PRACTICE AIMING (i.e. separately from prescribing shooting)? I just can't seem to get an acceptable float - I was shooting at 30m yesterday and...

    Setting centre shot along string path

    How does one - practically - go about setting your centre shot along the string path? I have a digital caliper, so I am thinking: - measuring the distance from the outside of the left limb (looking from the back of the bow) to the centre of the string - this gives A (say 16.5mm). - measuring...

    National Series 2013

    Where on the pathetic excuse for a national governing body website that is archerygb.org can one find information about the 2013 National Series? You might think it would be at National Series | Tournaments | Members | Archery GB | Official Website : National Series Index - but you would be...

    Forum yesterday

    What happened to the forum yesterday? We seemed to have been overrun by an army of longbowmen judging by posts in the past day or so! Is it an invasion?

    inner game

    I have been reading "The inner game of golf" and came across the following, which I think sums up a lot of what we do (and talk about on this forum): "...when it comes to the mental cause of physical error...we'd rather stick to the physical symptoms, analyzing one error after the other...

    Shoes for field archery

    I have decided to shoot more field archery this year, and am trying to "gear up". I would be grateful for some suggestions for water/mud proof shoes (some type of walking "boots", I would think?) and not prone to slipping to much), and trousers, "gaiters", etc. Thanks!

    Training drills

    Do you do any "drills"? If so, can you describe them, how often you do them and how long you spend on them? These could be aiming drills, execution drills, or anything else that go beyond either simple "blank bossing" or shooting a round for score.

    The longest thread

    So, Dave, what is the longest thread on here - i.e. the one with the most posts? The longest one I can think of has been the recent "Membership Modernisation" thread.

    UK Indoor results

    So the full results sheet has not been published yet, but when it is, it will probably be here (because the obvious path for "results" - according to the AGB web developers - is via support/operations and "entry forms"...): Entry Forms | Tournaments | Members | Archery GB | Official Website ...

    Scope in peep alignment

    What is your "process" for aligning your scope in your peep? Do you practice scope alignment? Do you aligning your scope consciously at all, or only "subconsciously" (i.e. just look through the peep and let your brain do it automatically)? I never gave it a second thought, really, but I have...

    Execution

    We often talk about or read about "executing" a shot well or badly, or we should "focus on execution" but not for example the release hand. I am thinking of this in the context of shooting a compound bow, but it is equally prevalent in talking about execution when shooting a recurve. How...

    Breaks from shooting

    I have a couple of (in my mind) important shoots coming up in November and early December. I will however be going on a long-ish (2.5 weeks) overseas - very long haul - holiday in the second half of October, and will not be taking my bow. I have not taken that long a break from shooting since...

    Indoor Season 2012/13

    What are your plans/goals? Any training programmes, etc? What comps (if any) will you be doing? Is there a "league" where you shoot? Dave, will we have an Indoor league again like we did last year?
