| Self pity, terrible thing in this sport! Be positive! You only shoot badly 'cos you tell yourself you do. You probably don't do it wrong, it just seems that you do.Try shooting by numbers,i.e. walk to the shooting line, take up your stance,nock an arrow, prepare to draw, etc. etc. When you are on the line, you are the only one there, you can't hear anything and all you can see through your "blinkered" eyes is the Gold. Keep looking at the gold right through the prep of your shot, muscle memory will take over and your arrow will be Gold! When you can do this you are as near to the "Zone" as you will ever be, you can train yourself to go through this sequence every shot. As soon as you cross the waiting line,all smiles away, ear muffs on, blinkers on, sequence starts!. Try it, it will work! |
