The Importance of Forehand Pointing in Archery

To effectively improve archery performance, it is necessary to do it from multiple aspects, including posture, strength, psychological factors, etc. In archery, it is very important to maintain the correct posture. In the archery posture, the stability of the left-hand bow arm has a greater impact on the aiming of the archery, which directly affects the hit rate of the archery. How to correctly choose the direction of the left-hand bow arm is of great significance to improving archery performance.
1. Bow arm movements in archery and their importance
1. Bow arm movements
In archery, the directionality of the bow arm cannot be disturbed during the release and launch process. When aiming, the bow arm is under the action of the static load of the bow. After the release process is over, this static load will immediately decrease. During the launch process, the bow arm and the bow, the bow and the arrow will be released from each other. At this time, the bow arm can only move along the direction of the target surface. Any upward, downward and swinging movements are wrong, because it will affect the direction of the bow arm and directly affect the performance. 2. Importance of bow arm pointing
Maintaining the correct pointing of the bow arm plays a very important role in archery technology. If its pointing is affected, it will have a great impact on the hit rate of archery.
2. Factors affecting the pointing of the bow arm
During archery, the pointing of the bow arm will be affected by many factors, mainly including the following points.
1. Unreasonable action structure
During archery, the bow arm is lifted up and pressed down, or bent, etc., which causes the line of force of the action to bend, and loses the main condition for easy bow pushing. The tension of the bow will greatly increase the working intensity of the muscles of the bow arm, affecting the stability of the bow arm, thereby affecting the stability of the pointing of the bow arm.
2. Incorrect force generation method
During archery, the correct force generation point should be that the front hand's bow push point and the back elbow shoulder are on the same straight line, which can effectively improve the hit rate. However, when generating force, the front hand's bow push point, the back elbow shoulder and the back shoulder cannot be kept on the same straight line, and the normal offline of the action will be affected. At this time, you can only barely maintain the stability of your forearm, which affects the direction of your bow-holding arm. 3. Poor strength Archery is a skill-based sport based on strength, and strength is the basic condition for achieving good results. You need to have strong arm strength. During archery, if you lack strength, you cannot effectively control the pulling force of the bow. In the process of forced archery, you will be forced to increase your strength, and the coordination of your muscles will be destroyed, which will directly affect the balance of your arms and affect the direction of your bow-holding arm.
4. Not adapting to the weight of the bow If the weight of the bow is different from the weight of the bow you usually use, the position of your head may shift due to insufficient or excessive force, preventing the pulling force of your back elbow, which will make it impossible to accurately judge the pulling distance of the bow and affect the direction of your bow-holding arm.
III. How to effectively improve the accuracy of your forearm pointing in archery 1. Adjust the action structure Correct action structure is the basic condition for coordinated force, which can effectively improve the stability of your forearm. When the trunk, shoulders, arms, etc. are in the correct force-generating position, the movements will be very coordinated and stretched. At this time, the muscle force is balanced and the movement structure is also in a stable state, which plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the forearm. Therefore, it is important to reasonably adjust one's own movement structure to improve the accuracy of the forearm's pointing. 2. Maintain the correct state of the forearm and forearm The movement state of the forearm and forearm directly determines the accuracy of its forearm's pointing. Therefore, in addition to the correct position of the forearm, the degree of relaxation of the forearm is also very important, but it cannot be relaxed too much. The forearm needs to be in a naturally relaxed state through the coordination of the muscles around the forearm, which can effectively reduce the swing of the forearm and ensure the accuracy of the forearm's pointing. 3. Master the correct force-generating method Mastering the correct force-generating method plays an important role in the stability of the bow-holding arm's pointing. On the basis of the correct movement structure, the back muscles and the muscles of the forearm and forearm are coordinated to exert force together, and the linear force and stretchability of the entire bow-opening and archery action will reach a very high level, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the bow-holding arm's pointing. 4. Special strength training In archery, if the special strength is poor, it is difficult to make perfect movements even with good skills. The lack of strength will have a great impact on the coordination and integrity of the movement, thereby affecting the stability of the forearm pointing. In view of this situation, special strength training should be strengthened, which can effectively improve the coordination and integrity of the movement and ensure the accuracy of the forearm pointing. 5. Reasonable choice of bow In archery, the material, manufacturing process and weight of the bow itself will have a great impact on the hit rate. Therefore, the bow should be reasonably selected according to one's own physical condition and technical characteristics. The appropriate bow and arrow can match the strength and give full play to the technical characteristics, which plays an important role in ensuring the accuracy of the forearm pointing.
