At a recent shoot, I noticed that one of the juniors was drawing her bow in quite an unusual way. She started her shot with her arrow pointed at about 40 degrees above horizontal.she put a small amount of tension on the string, then as she lowered it she drew the string back to her anchor point. I thought that this wasn't correct as I believed that the arrow should stay pretty much level. I didn't say anything to the archer as I didn't want to put her off mid shoot but I did question it with a senior club member. Her opinion was that it's not great technique but as it was a record status event and the judges were being very thorough, then it must be ok, perhaps because the bow was dropping throughout the draw?
This led me to a couple of questions...Firstly, is it ok? It was a very consistent shot routine that had been clearly taught and practised,so what would be the benefits?
Many thanks,
