First, stand perpendicular to your target with your feet straddling the shooting line and shoulder width apart. Balance your body weight over the balls of your feet. Stand tall and keep your spine straight, but not stiff because your body needs to absorb the recoil. Place your back foot parallel with the line. Angle your forward foot slightly toward the target with your knees slightly relaxed.

Get into a steady, comfortable stance either regular or oblique. Imagine your body forming a "T".

Nock the arrow with the cock feather up-out away from the bow.

Nocking the arrow refers to the process of placing the arrow nock onto he bowstring, but also involves all the steps involved with getting the arrow ready to shoot. The index feathers point away from the bow, lay the arrow on the arrowrest, and snap the nock onto the bowstring under the nocking point on the string. The arrow should be under the clicker as you place it on the arrowrest.

It is always best to grasp the bow exactly the same way every time helping to ensure consistent draw and aids in accuracy. Arrange the bow in the nock, and develop a comfortable but not tight grip. After the bow hand is set, take the string in the first joint of the first three fingers of the shooting hand.

Keep wrist straight but not rigid. Hold the bow loosely don't clench the bow.

Raise the bow toward your target. Lock your bow arm into position and turn your elbow out.

Push with the shoulder of your bow arm and pull with the shoulder of your drawing arm and draw the bowstring until it touches your nose and lips. Never stop your drawing motion once you are done. Your elbow should stop behind and slightly above your shoulder.

Draw the arrow back tot he same "anchor point" on your cheek or mouth every time.

The anchor is the final stage of the draw and the two should flow as one motion. The anchoring is where your drawing hand comes to rest against your face before aiming and releasing. An anchor point may be the chin or the cheek.

Aiming requires concentration on the bowsight and target.

The back muscles tighten even more before the moment of release. Then the drawing hand completely relaxes and the string escapes from the hand.

When the arrow leaves the bow, continue pulling the drawing hand along the base of your neck and allow the bow to move forward in your bow hand.
