Excellent Shooting Technique

We live in great times. With information technology and the use of the internet you can learn and see things you normally would not have access to. To an autodidact the internet is a great tool for developing a skill or solving problems.

Some of us learn to do things by emulating others. I learned how to play tennis, basketball and football by emulating others I saw in person or on television. Below are some videos of archers I feel have excellent technique. .

All the archers below have one thing in common. They are very consistent with their technique. All the archers below have excellent posture and focus. Because they have refined their technique over time they are extremely efficient when it come to executing their shots. Using the most basic concepts to develop ones form will often yield a shot that is efficient, consistent and beautiful to watch.

Mathias Fullerton is a great new young archer. He recently won the 2024 Vegas shoot. I really like his classic archery form His posture is very stable and his follow through is excellent. He is shooting a thumb trigger but notice how relaxed his hand is when engaging the release to break the shot. He does not punch. He is pulling through the shot and this is what is giving him the solid follow through he has.
