Introduction of Archery Speed Shooting 
Techniques
Archery speed shooting is a fun, competitive sport that gives 
you the opportunity to test your skills against other archers in 
a way similar to Olympic Archery or regular target archery. 
The difference is that instead of aiming at targets placed at 
fixed distances, you will be aiming your arrows at various 
objects (depending on what range you are shooting at) 
placed at various distances. 
• Improve Your Accuracy and Distance  
If you’ve been shooting for a while, 
chances are that your accuracy is pretty 
good. Now we want to work on increasing 
the distance of our shots! 
 To do this, draw back further than normal 
before releasing the arrow (be sure to 
release the arrow after you are lined up 
with your target!).

• Practice Your Breathing Methods 
When it comes to shooting targets, one of the 
most important things is how you breathe. It 
can make or break a shot!
 To improve accuracy and distance, rather 
than breathing normally (in through your 
nose), try exhaling (out through your mouth) 
before taking aim. This will help you to 
steady your arm and get a more accurate 
shot!

• Watch Your Elbow and Wrist Positioning
When you’re shooting, it is important to 
keep a straight arm line. This means that 
your elbow should be slightly bent 
outwards at a 90 degree angle, while 
keeping your wrists as relaxed as 
possible.
If this doesn’t feel natural at first, you 
can try to shoot from your hip instead. 
This will make sure that the arrow is 
really ‘in’ before it leaves its bow!

• Aim in Front of the Arrow’s Flight Path
When you’re shooting targets it is easy to 
focus on drawing back your bow and aiming 
towards where you think your arrow will be 
when it hits. However, this tends to cause 
archers to aim too low! 
 To fix this issue, we want to aim in front of 
where the arrow will land. This means that if 
you shoot straight ahead, your arrow should 
hit slightly above where you are aiming!

• Extend Your Arm to Improve Distance
When you’re releasing your arrow, it is 
important that you extend your arm 
completely. However, if this doesn’t feel 
natural at first, try aiming without 
extending the bow all the way! 
This will allow you to get used to holding 
back further before drawing fully and 
shooting. You can then slowly extend your 
arm further and Best

• Practice with a Sling  
If you’re looking for ways to practice 
your shooting skills when the weather 
isn’t ideal, try using a sling! A lot of 
people overlook this tool, but it can be 
very useful.

• Practice Using a Stabilizer  
If you’re looking for ways to 
improve your shooting skills, try 
using a stabilizer. These 
accessories are designed to 
reduce the vibrations that travel 
through the bow when it is shot, 
helping with accuracy!

• Keep Your Nock Point Low to Improve 
Accuracy
When you’re shooting, it is important 
that your arrow nocks on the string at a 
90 degree angle. 
If this isn’t possible with a standard 
arrow rest, try using a drop away 
model! This will allow you to shoot 
arrows at an optimal trajectory every 
time.
