What does the standard action of drawing a bow and archery look like?

The standard action of drawing a bow for archery consists of the following points:

1. Standing position: The archer stands on the starting line with the left shoulder aligned with the target handle. If you are left-handed, the opposite is true. The bow is held in the left hand, the feet are open and shoulder-width apart, and the weight of the body falls evenly on the feet.

2. Nocking: Nock the arrow's tail slot into the string and place the arrow above the archery table.

3. Hooking the string and pushing the bow: the arrow's tail shaft, between the index and middle fingers, the ring finger assists the middle finger to keep the balance. The right hand holds the bow handle right in the center, the left hand holds the back of the bow, and both hands rotate inward at the same time so that the bowstring is pulled backward and tight. When the bowstring is drawn to a certain position, the right hand releases the bow handle and the left hand continues to rotate inward so that the bowstring continues to be drawn backward.

4. Aiming: The shooter aims at the target with both eyes, adjusts his breathing and starts shooting.
