Note!
There are many different styles and techniques of shooting. What is presented here is only our thoughts on what works well.

The Biomechanics of Archery

Posture
Good posture is extremely important for:
Balance
String Clearance
Effective posterior chain use
Shooting mechanics
2011 World Archery Coaching Seminar
Posture
An ideal posture would see the centre of gravity of the archer centred between the feet

Good Posture Forward Lean Thoracic/Lumbar Extension

Alignment
Proper alignment is important for a robust consistent competition technique
Allows the forces of the bow to be controlled via bones and joints rather than through the muscles
Creates a more consistent repeatable technique that stands up under pressure

Alignment –Coronal Plane

Alignment
2 types of alignment used in world archery
2011 World Archery Coaching Seminar
Alignment
2011 World Archery Coaching Seminar
Energy Stored in Limbs
Draw Force
Direction of Force Line
Alignment
This way primarily uses posterior deltoid muscle to draw and upper trapezius to anchor

Energy Stored in LimbsDraw Force
Direction of Force Line
Alignment
This way uses more of the scapular muscles such as all of the Trapezius muscle, rhomboids as well as posterior deltoid

Alignment - Sagittal
Again very important that the archer stands up straight and does not lean to the side. The archer should be like a crane

Execution
Consistent execution is the result of a good physical setup, draw and alignment
Execution is the difference between the best and all the rest
Some videos of different execution
2011 World Archery Coaching Seminar
Execution Errors
As the signal from the brain to relax the fingers is sent some of the upper body musculature also relaxes – causing collapse or softness on the shot
Can result from:
Pain response
Not learning the shot properly
Poor alignment
Lack of strength
2011 World Archery Coaching Seminar
Tracking Execution Errors
Can quantify strength of execution via 2D tracking.
6 marker upper body model
Able to provide joint angles, displancements, velocities and accelerations

What execution looks like

Automatic Technique
In archery when shooting at a target the archer has an external focus on:
Aiming
Wind conditions
Time
The archer is not focusing on his/her technique. Therefore if it is not well learnt or automatic then it is more likely to break down
