All of us Archers at any given time have fallen victim to inconsistencys in our shooting. The motivation behind this article was from form/mechanics issues that crept into my game. Not only form issues that arise, but also getting to that next level in consistency and accuracy oftentimes eludes us for far to long. How do we get thru it?
Blank Bale shooting is the answer! I've been fortunate enough to travel with and be coached by the best in the business, they blank bale and so should you and I!
Blank Bale or Blind Bale as some refer to it as, it just that. Stand in front of a target and shoot just concentrating on whatever is ailing you. For me its been my bow arm. So after setting my shot up, I'll close my eyes and just feel the bow arm relaxed and being driven forward as the release is getting pulled backwards.. I'll feel the bow explode forward upon the release firing. While it takes a few sessions to clean up the form flaws, I've seen as little as 5 shots at the blank bale temporarily work..
More form and archery tips will be shared from time to time on our blog!
