Method of opening bow and releasing arrow

The method of opening the bow and releasing the arrow:

Standing: feet apart, slightly wider than shoulders, facing the target sideways and straddling the arrow line;

Hold a bow: hold a bow in your left hand and a bow in the tiger's mouth;

Take the arrow: take the arrow with your right hand, hold the arrow tail with your index finger and thumb, and don't touch the feather;

Take an arrow: the tip of the arrow passes between the bow string and the bow handle, and the shaft rests on the platform (the traditional bow and arrow rests on the hand)? The tail of the arrow is stuck on the top of the arrow tip on the bowstring, and the green feather must face itself;

Hook string: the index finger of the right hand is placed on the upper part of the arrow tail, the index finger and middle finger are placed on the lower part of the arrow tail, and the first knuckled joint hooks the bowstring. The back of the hand is relaxed and the forearm is horizontal;

Bow opening: the left arm points to the target direction, the tiger's mouth pushes the bow hard, the forearm rotates inward and the shoulder sinks; Lift the right elbow horizontally, pull the big arm back hard, and clamp the big arm and the small arm until the index finger of the right hand touches the corner of the mouth; ?

Aim: Keep your eyes on the bull's-eye, look at the extension line of the arrow from the corner of your eye and aim at the bull's-eye, and hold your breath. (Keep an eye on the bull's-eye, and the angle of the arrow is sharp; There is a dotted line in my heart, which will turn yellow);

Unfolding: Pull the back of your hand to the index finger, touch the corners of your mouth, and then aim. When you feel that the extension line of the arrow is aimed at the bull's-eye, the three fingers of the back hand will continue to exert their strength and keep their distance. When the three fingers push back at the same time, release the fingers and unfold the bowstring. Don't put down your hand until the arrow hits the target.
