Choosing A Bow

To shoot accurately, select a bow that has the perfect draw length for you. The archery-shop pros will help you determine your draw length and watch your draw to make sure you're not over-drawing or under-drawing.

Every move in archery has to be performed the same way each time you shoot for you to consistently shoot with accuracy. When you draw the bow, bring the string back to the same spot, all the way to the back wall of the bow, when you're at full draw. Have a qualified instructor teach you the proper form. Run through the following mental checklist as you practice.
