PerformanceArchery | Episode 5 | Posture

http://www.performance-archery.tv/

We are going to look at the concept of how this all fits together and posture and alignment. When I work with clients, I work very much from front all the way to the back, and so we are going to kind of stick to that and if that is a little strange then forgive me.

We've talked about front hand position, we talked about that everything forward of this position is just going to be inert, definitely no 'push' forward. And so we are going to look at how that then fits together with what you are doing from the back and I make no apologies that this is my method. This is what having spent time throughout Europe and further afield [I've] put together - so, it may differ a little bit from what you have been told. The first part of any concept in alignment is what you are looking for to achieve this alignment, and we are going to talk in terms of (at the end [I've] give a little bit of a different spin on this), but for the rest of this, we are going to talk about [the] bow hand, [the] tab or release hand, and this rear elbow staying in line. So, you are going to form a line between these three. And this is going to take the emphasis off what some coaches work towards and what a lot of learners and intermediates get bogged down in, which is, What am I going to do with this backend, what am I going to do to achieve some alignment? And the alignment is going to come from sets of parallel lines.
