In 2024 the Australian junior Nationals were held in Canberra. 17 Junioirs from South Australia competed. I managed the South Australian team and discuss the common things I look at while watching the juniors shooting.
I love how encouraging you are. I have been shooting every night and your voice is in my head. Practice is more important than equipment. I have seen more improvement over the last month that I have done this than any equipment improvement I have made over the past 5 years…. thank you…
Foreword pressure is very important in preventing the bow arm from collapsing. Tension and direction are important. Direction is aided by reaching or pushing the bow toward the 10 ring. If you do that the bow will jump toward the target against the sling. Bow jumping. Combing this with good back tension is very important. Tom
The “ TP” will naturally rise up at a scoring event. Why? Who knows the real reason. Everyone is different and takes different reasons to happen. Been there many times. Why is it we can shoot so well on a home range or at the local events. Just hammering out the middle. So easy and relaxed. Maybe even when making side bets in your home range. Dots or 3-d doesn’t matter. But go to a new place new people and there itt is eating up your points. Why does this happen? That’s for each one to figure out. Face to face with whatever it is and beat it. I’ve actually beaten it at times in events with ONE GREAT SHOT! Had to revert to the process. Focused on all the parts of making a great shot showing myself how it’s done. Overriding the idea I can’t do it- but I just did PERFECTLY
Have your students learn how much each archer needs to move the sight to change impact of their arrow one scoring ring at what ever distance their shooting. Tom
