\"How<\/p>\n

For thousands of years, humans have used the bow and arrow for hunting and warfare. Today, you can buy bows equipped with devices and sights to help you aim accurately and hit a bull\u2019s-eye almost every time they\u2019re drawn. For example, with a fixed pin sight, an archer has a guide that shows how to adjust his aim to ensure he hits the target no matter the distance.<\/p>\n

But ancient archers had to learn how to aim without sights. This skill \u2014 called instinctive shooting \u2014 requires years of trial and error to master. Through consistent practice, the body and mind intuitively learn how to adjust the aim of the bow to accommodate different shooting distances. Instinctive shooting is a lot like throwing a baseball or shooting a basketball. Once you\u2019ve practiced these skills, you don\u2019t really think about aiming when you throw a baseball to someone or shoot a basket. You just do it. Somehow your mind and body are able to calculate the right angle and force to throw the ball to ensure it hits your target, or at least gets very close.<\/p>\n

Because of the mind-body connection inherent to traditional archery, ancient archers \u2014 particularly those from China \u2014 often used the bow as a philosophical metaphor. For example, Confucius was an archery teacher and used the practice as an analogy for wu-wei<\/em>, or effortless action. To successfully shoot a bow and arrow intuitively, you\u2019ve got to try not to try<\/em><\/a>, because the moment you start trying too hard to aim, you end up missing the target completely. So it goes in life as well. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The funny thing about instinctive bow shooting and this whole idea of trying not to try is that to get to that state, you\u2019ve got to be intensely mindful and deliberate about it. You\u2019ve got to try to try, before you can try not to try.<\/p>\n

If instinctive archery sounds like something you could get into, but the last time you shot a bow and arrow was at summer camp as a kid, today we break down the steps of instinctively shooting a bow and arrow. With time and practice, your archery will hopefully hit a state of wu-wei<\/em>, or effortless action.<\/p>\n

How to Instinctively Shoot a Bow and Arrow<\/u><\/h3>\n

While it is possible to instinctively shoot a compound bow, the practice is most associated with traditional archery \u2014 that is, archery that uses recurve bows or longbows. For the purposes of this article, we\u2019ll be showing how to instinctively shoot with a traditional bow.<\/p>\n

Assume a Relaxed Stance<\/h3>\n

\"Archer<\/p>\n

Stand with your shoulders perpendicular to your target with your feet shoulder-width apart. From here, you\u2019ve got two options on how to place your feet. If you\u2019re just starting out, a squared stance \u2014 in which both your feet are parallel to the shooting line \u2014 is the way to go, as it will ensure that you consistently set up in the same way.<\/p>\n

After some practice, you might consider experimenting with an open\/oblique stance. <\/em>With an open stance, the lead foot points towards the target. This stance is good if you\u2019re on uneven ground, and it helps prevent you from overdrawing your bow. The downside is that because it rotates your hips towards the target, when you do draw back, you have a tendency to just use your arms instead of your back muscles.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a rank beginner, go with the squared stance.<\/p>\n

Nock the Arrow<\/h3>\n

\"Archer <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Place the arrow shaft on the arrow rest of your bow. Attach the arrow\u2019s nock \u2014 the plastic, grooved part at the arrow\u2019s end \u2014 to the bow string. Your bow string should have 1-2 nock locators that indicate where the arrow should be placed, and ensure that you consistently nock your arrow at the same place each time you shoot. If your string has just one locator, nock your arrow just beneath the bead. If it has two locators, nock the arrow between the two beads.<\/p>\n

Grip the Bow Correctly<\/h3>\n

\"How
\n<\/strong>Place the bow in your non-dominant hand. You want the grip of the bow to rest right on the pad of your thumb. This placement will ensure that you don\u2019t squeeze the bow too tightly, which would cause it to torque inwards, throwing off accuracy, and would also place your forearm in-line with the string; if you\u2019re not wearing an armguard, it\u2019s going to hurt when you release it.<\/p>\n

A good cue to know if your grip is right is to check to see if your knuckles create a 45-degree angle to the bow grip. If your hand is in that position, you likely have the bow placed on the pad of your thumb.<\/p>\n

Squeeze the grip like you\u2019re shaking a hand. Not too hard and not too lightly.<\/p>\n

How to Grip the Bow String<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How
\n<\/strong>With your arrow nocked, and your bow hand gripping the bow correctly, we\u2019re ready to grip the bowstring.<\/p>\n

There are different ways to grip a bowstring but for the purposes of this article, we\u2019ll be highlighting the Mediterranean method, as it\u2019s the easiest way for beginners.<\/p>\n

With the Mediterranean grip, we\u2019ll be using three fingers \u2014 index, middle, and ring \u2014 to pull the bowstring back. The bowstring should rest in the groove of your top knuckles. The arrow\u2019s nock should be between your index and middle finger. If that\u2019s uncomfortable for you at first, feel free to put all three fingers beneath the arrow\u2019s shaft.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just starting out, pulling a bowstring back with your bare fingers can be uncomfortable and even painful. Consider using a finger tab, which is a piece of leather that protects your fingers from the bowstring. You can also wear gloves if you want.<\/p>\n

Prep Your Draw<\/h3>\n

\"Archer <\/strong>
\n<\/strong>We\u2019re almost ready to draw the bow back. But before we do, we want to make sure the bow is in the right place for the most efficient draw. To do so, simply lift the arm holding the bow so that the arm is at shoulder height. Once you\u2019re there, it\u2019s time to\u2026.<\/p>\n

Draw the Bow String Back
\n <\/strong> \"Archer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When most folks draw a bowstring back, they want to use their arms. This will only tire you out and cause you to under-draw the string \u2014 that is, not pull it back far enough. When you draw a bowstring back, you want to use your back muscles. Imagine squeezing your shoulder blades together. That cue will help ensure you\u2019re using your back muscles and not your arm or shoulder muscles to draw the bowstring back.<\/p>\n

Anchor the String<\/h3>\n

\"Archer
\n<\/strong>How far should you draw your bowstring? To your anchor point. An anchor point is a reference point on your face that you draw the string to in order to ensure that you draw it the same way each time. There are a few anchor points you can create. Your anchor point could be a spot on your nose. If that\u2019s the case, you draw the string until it touches that certain spot on your nose. Or your anchor point could be your index finger touching the corner of your mouth.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to be your anchor point, fix it in stone and consistently draw your bowstring until you\u2019ve reached that spot.<\/p>\n

Aim
\n <\/strong> \"How<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aim the point of your arrow at your target. Don\u2019t overthink the aiming. Remember wu-wei<\/em> \u2014 try not to try. The harder you try, the more elusive your target becomes.<\/p>\n

Release and Follow Through<\/h3>\n

\"How
\n<\/strong>Keeping your bow arm steady, simply push your fingers on the bowstring out of the way of the string. The string will snap forward and your arrow will start to fly.<\/p>\n

But shooting an arrow doesn\u2019t stop at the release. Just as you must follow through when throwing a baseball to accurately throw the ball, you need to follow through with your arrow release. After you\u2019ve let the bowstring go, your draw hand should continue moving backwards until it reaches the bottom of your ears. This movement will also naturally cause the bow to tilt forward a bit. Let it. This follow-through ensures that all the energy in the bow is transferred cleanly to the arrow.<\/p>\n

Practice, Practice, Practice<\/h3>\n

Well, there you go. The basics of instinctively shooting a bow and arrow. Like any skill, you\u2019ll get better at it the more you work on it. With enough time, you\u2019ll eventually reach a state of effortless action with your archery, and who knows, perhaps a little of this wu-wei<\/em> will carry over to the rest of your life as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
