draw, aim and release (Compound bow)

To shoot well in archery, basically we need to choose the right bow that suit us. NEVER use left-handed bow if you are right-handed person and vice versa. Determine your bow arm and draw arm before you shoot. NEVER release the string without arrow. It may cause injuries and equipment failure.


Step 1
Draw the bow to full draw and secure a solid, consistent anchor point. Your anchor point is the position where you hold your arm, hand and face in relationship to the bow. Consistent anchor points allow you to quickly and easily aim the bow.

Step 2
Level the bow using the built-in bubble level in the bow sight. This ensures your bow is upright during the shot to avoid canting the bow, which can affect accuracy.

Step 3
Look through the peep sight on the bow string and align the peep sight with the sight housing on the bow sight.

Step 4
Use the top pin for close range targets. Most bow sights are equipped with one, three or five pins. A standard setup for a three-pin sight has the top pin for 20 yards, middle pin for 30 yards and bottom pin for 40 yards.

Step 5
Hold the bow as steady as possible while holding the pin on the intended target.

Step 6
Focus on the intended target and slowly pull the trigger to release the arrow.
