#bowdrawing

[infinitesofnought]

A ring, for bowdrawing, loosed after the wordswarm that founders behind the world, with the starlings, arrowy one, when you whir toward me, I know from where, I forget from where.

– Paul Celan, "[A ring, for bowdrawing]", trans. Pierre Joris

Working on keeping my arrow aligned when raising above my shoulder during the bow drawing process. At first it felt awkward because in this position my arms wanted to tilt the arrow upward but for target and ground shooting it is more practical to keep the arrow in the same line as the elbow. ** A workable way I have found for me is to raise the wrist slightly to give that extra support and straight line. A conscious effort to begin with but is now becoming more natural for me. ** Will probably do a video on this step soon. . . . . #archery #archerygirl #archerylife #archerylove #archerypractice #backyardarchery #bowdrawing #bowtraining #gettingitright #longbow #longbowlife #traditionalarcher #traditionalarchery #warriorwoman #workingonthis #womanarcher
