Archery is a great
sport and something I love to do. I am going to describe my cycle of
shooting. First, I take my bow in my left hand and go to the line. I
look up at my target and take a deep breath to lower my heart rate. I
step up to the line and turn my back pivot foot to the right, in
order to face the target slightly. I rest the bottom cam of my bow
against my left leg and bend my leg slightly with my toes on the
ground in order to hold it up. I place the arrow through the riser
and nock it while setting it on the lizard tongue. I then grab my
release out of my quiver and place it on the d loop. I make sure that
my fingers are placed correctly on the release and take a deep breath
and take another look at my target. I draw another deep breath as I
lift my bow and slowly draw in order to keep the arrow in place. When
drawn, I breathe in as I set my knuckles against my cheekbone and my
nose and corner of my lip against the string. I slowly lower my pin
to the bullseye, and make sure that my level is on, then grab the
release with my back three fingers to get set for the shot. I then
slowly exhale while thinking about pulling tight against my release.
I steady in for five to seven seconds and my release goes off. I drop
my elbow back and let my bow go forward slightly to stretch out for
the follow through. I reset my release and rest my bow on my leg
again and check to see where the arrow hit on the target. I then work
through my mind any mistakes that I made during the shot cycle.
