How to Shoot a Bow



In order to shoot a bow you must have the proper equipment. This includes the bow, arrows, and a release. First strap your release to the opposite hand that you hold your bow with. Take your other hand and grip the bow around the handle. Next your going to want to knock an arrow onto the string and through the rest. Now hold your arm straight out at the target and place a slight bend in your elbow. Clip your release to the loop behind the knock of your arrow and slowly draw back. Once fully drawn back place the kisser button in the corner of your mouth. While using your eye closest to the string look through the peep sight and line your sight up where you want to hit. Slowly squeeze the trigger of the release wth your pointer finger and watch your arrow fly. You want to have a proper follow through so leave your bow up and pointed at the target even after the shot. A lot of people are tempted to drop there bow which causes there arrows to drop and shoot low as well.

  1. Well I know how to shoot a bow so this is not confusing at all to me but to others you may want to clearify: 1. What is a release is? 2. What kind of arrows are the best to use? 3. Where to find a great, resonably priced bow?

  2. I like how confident you are in executing this, and how you go through step by step on how to use a bow. I don't think everyone would know what a kisser button, but then again I wouldn't know if they did either. I think this is structured well, and wouldn't need much editing.
