Instructions
Step 1
Once you've got the gear you need, you're ready to learn how to shoot a bow. Stand in the way that suits you, while assessing your distance from the target. With one hand, grip the bow firmly, with the other, tuck the arrow into the groove on the side of the bow so that it is pointed and the end rests on the string.
Step 2
Grab the string and pull your hand back. You should control the bow shot with your back muscles, not your arm. This is the only way you can count on the accuracy of the arrow's flight path. Aim without taking your eyes off the subject.
Step 3
Bend the arm that guides the arrow and hold it still. Keep the hand that controls the bow straight. Then pick it up, aim and shoot. But be consistent - for each shot, first aim, then release the arrow.
Step 4
Learn to use your eyesight to shoot your bow effectively. Always aim for the very center of the target.
When aiming, be still. If your hands are shaking, for example, you will never hit the target.
Step 5
When shooting from a bow, use different types of arrows. You work with different arrows in different ways, and in order to understand which ones are more convenient for you, you need to try to shoot them all. For beginners, wooden ones are suitable.
