Bows
Compound Bows
Recurve Bows
In class we use these two types of bows

Cams Wheels
Unlike a recurve bow, a compound doesnt have
nocks. A compound uses cams and wheels which are
the source of arrow speed.

Nock/Draw/Anchor Point
A properly aligned a kisser button (anchor point)
and peep sight.
A compound bow at full draw.
A properly nocked and rested arrow.
10
Stance
Standing with your side to the target, feet are
shoulder width apart. The head is turned ¼ turn
toward the target.
11
Nocking
Placement of the arrow in shooting position on
the bowstring. Lay the arrow shaft on the arrow
rest and place the nock in the bowstring at the
serving. The cock feather is up. The arrow forms
a 90 angle with the bow.
12
Draw
Turn the bow perpendicular to the ground. Using a
three finger grip and the tips of the fingers
pull the bowstring to an anchor point on the face
or head.
13
Anchor Point
Placement of the draw hand at the cheek bone, the
jaw bone, temple or some other comfortable spot
on the face or head. Once the anchor point is
established, do not change it, use it for every
shot. This will add consistency to your shots.
14
Release and Follow Through
Following a motionless second at the anchor
point, relax the fingers on the bowstring,
allowing the string to roll off the fingertips.
Fingers remain at the anchor point as the arrow
flies to the target. Remain motionless until the
arrow has come to rest in the target.
