How to hit the gold?
The ultimate question. It is never easy to answer. If it is something simple, the sport won’t be fun. Accuracy is the key. To solve the problem we need to know what are the tasks an archer needs to perform and the requirements of them in order to be accurate.
World Archery (WA) Level 1 Coaching material has a very clean explanation on it. So let me just quote what is mentioned.
The goal of archery is extremely simple: to put an arrow into the target center, ten-zone, gold, or bulls eye etc., whatever you call it, and then repeat. In order to achieve this goal, Two things have to be repeated in every shot. WA explains the two essential items under ballistic concept: First the position of arrows in space. Second the propulsion force applied to the arrow.
For the archer’s tasks, an archer will have to repeat his shooting form with perfection, this includes: first, the position of all the parts of one’s body in relation to the target. This secures arrows in the same position in space. Second, the technique to release the string correctly. This provides the same propulsion force to the arrows.
