How to shoot a bow in less than 60 seconds

PLEASE READ:
- Make sure your arrows can withstand the force of your bow, if not they will explode and destroy your hand.
- Never fire a bow without an arrow notched, the bow may be destroyed along with your hand.
- Never point a drawn bow with an arrow notched at anything you aren't willing to destroy
- Don't shoot arrows directly into the sky...Bad idea...Show more

Also notice the white fletching? this fletching is a different colour to the others because it is the fletching that must always point away from the bow when notched, the reason for this is otherwise it would run along the bow staff when fired and may damage the bow, and alter the trajectory of the arrow.

The reason we must have a loose grip with our hand that's on the bow is because of archers parallax. A tight grip on the bow will cause the arrow to have maximum contact with the side of the bow and bend side to side while its moving through the air. This can cause a variance in the arrows trajectory as the tip of the arrow is moving laterally about the target and well as directly towards it, this variance can even cause arrows to bend around objects. :0

"Releasing the arrow" should be just that, try not to jerk it or pull it, just let the fingers slide off the string. some Olympic shooters use mechanisms of releasing the arrow from their compound bow that make it so not even they know when the arrow will be fired, this is to keep them relaxed and prevent them from anticipating the shot.

There are many methods of firing bows, this is just one. If you have a different method or any tips and tricks share it with us in the comments below.
