Latest Breaking News - Sports and Fitness - Viewing: Archery - Tips To Improve Your Accuracy Wednesday, February 17, 2010 Whether you're a beginner archer or an advanced shooter, accuracy plays a major role in archery. There isn't an archer out there who is not trying to improve his accuracy for one reason or another. From one ad to the next, there's always some gadget with promises, that when used, will make you a more accurate shooter. Now, I'm not saying the gadgets don't work, what I am saying is most of the time inaccuracy is due to inconsistent form. What I'm going to do is give you the pointers you need to improve your form and ultimately improve your accuracy. 1. Anchor Point This alone can improve your accuracy a great deal, it is the most important of all steps. When you draw your bow to a full draw position, you need to find two anchor points, 1. where you can anchor the string, 2. where you can anchor you hand. This anchor point should be the same each and every time you draw your bow. By doing this will guarantee every shot to be consistent and therefore improving your consistency and accuracy. 2. Stance (standing position) Believe it or not the way you stand plays a major role in accuracy, you want to stand with your side facing the target, you're feet should be a little less then shoulder width apart. By doing this allows for the greatest stretch and allows you to reach full draw potential, ultimately giving you maximum speed from your bow. 3. Grip There are two important factors to the proper grip on a bow: • Strength • How your hand is wrapped around the handle The best way to grip your bow is to put the center of the handle in line with the center of your wrist. Bring your four finger tips around to the front. Grip your bow just hard enough to keep it in your hand, the most common mistake is gripping to tightly causing the bow to shift left or right upon releasing your arrow. Ultimately missing the mark you aimed for. Following these simple pointers and a lot of practice, will undoubtedly improve your form and have you shooting accurately and more consistently. After you have mastered the above pointers, and you are target shooting, keep this one thing in mind, try shooting your bow at a longer distance, like 40 - 45 yards, this will magnify the imperfections of your arrow in flight that you may not pick up on in shooting shorter distances.
