Reddit reviews Archery

I read this thru when I started, and then touched on some of it later once I had some ideas about what I was doing, it was really quite helpful. It does a good job of explaining (as best as words can) what your body should feel like during the shot process. The main olympic recurve chapters are written by KSL himself, so its not some random, dude knows his stuff.

First and foremost, I do not know instinctive for your recurve, so other people will have to give you resources on that. You need information on proper form for barebow shooting like they do in competition.

Compound on there other hand, The nuts and bolts of archery, USA Archery and Fita Coaching Manual was a fantastic compound resources for me. I used these to teach myself how to shoot an Sb1. Bolts and fita are free to download.

If you can join an archery club that would be the most optimal method to really improving. Out of everyone I actually know this is not always the case, but reading can make up for some of this lost knowledge. Sadly though you do need someone to watch you otherwise after a certain point your growth will halt.

Mind you it is possible to break that growth wall, but out of personal experience it is quite difficult.. can you say large mirror and self recording cameras? I actually did this for olympic recurve and I shoot a slightly altered style of KSL style, but that is an entire very long thread for another time about self critiquing/improvement.
