Drawing and Anchoring the Bow

To draw the bow:

• Grip the bow handle firmly in the left hand, but don’t squeeze.
• With your bow arm straight, raise the bow to a point that your arm is parallel to the ground, while simultaneously drawing the string back to your “anchor point” with your shooting hand. The anchor point may be the corner of your mouth, your cheekbone, or your chin.
