Camp Starlight’s archery specialist Mark Gale has some tips for getting a bullseye. It’s simple, according to Mark who is an Archery coach in West Midlands, England. “Form, Repetition, Practice-in that order,” he says.
Mark tells campers to place their ring, middle, and index finger above the arrow. An easy way to remember finger position is that your hand should make the salute from Hunger Games. Next, draw the string back to your eyes so that you can see down the line of the arrow. Finally, release your fingers from the string. BULLSEYE! If you don’t hit a bullseye the first time you have the rest of the summer to practice and sharpen your archery skills.
