Archery Training Philosophy: Science and Technique

Principle #1 of our philosophy is simple. First, learn to hit the ten. Second, learn to repeat it. Consistency is the key to success in archery.

Principle #2: To repeat an action, you must know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Our coaching focuses on this structured approach.

Principle #4: We teach the biomechanically optimum posture. This ensures the "transfer of holding" from the arms to the back muscles, which is crucial for stability and power.

Principle #3: Your shot must be based on "present process thinking." We train archers to focus on the execution of the shot, not the outcome.

Principle #5: A repeatable holding posture is built through a specific sequence of body actions known as form steps. We drill these steps until they become second nature.

According to the Institute of Sport Science, the psychological aspect accounts for over 50% of archery performance. This is why our mental strength training is so vital.

This diagram illustrates the use of back muscles (drawing force) throughout the shot process, from set-up to transfer and holding. This is fundamental to our technique.
