Through ArcheryGB you can get all the information you need to become a great archer. The foundation of a good form is very simple: good bone on bone alignment. The technique has evolved and refined over the years and teaching is simpler and more effective.”

Drills and skills are the very essential framework that any (qualified) coach can teach you through. If you want to improve your technique, no matter what style you might be shooting, these are the real foundation of good form.

In these videos links from the official ArcheryGB YouTube’s channel Lloyd Brown (Coach Development Manager for ArcheryGB) does us a great service in making public the very basics of it.
