Shot-Process Checklist

One routine for every arrow. Print at A4 or US Letter, write a cue word next to each of the nine steps, and run the same order on every shot.

Shot-Process Checklist

What's on the checklist

  • The shot cycle in nine steps: stance, nock, set, raise, draw, anchor, aim & expansion, release, follow-through
  • A write-in line for your own cue word on every step
  • Before each end: conditions, one process goal, a settled breath
  • When a shot breaks down: let down safely, start again, note the step
  • Notes on how set, anchor, expansion and release differ for recurve, barebow and compound
