ABSTRACT:
An archery training device for teaching an archer proper muscular control, muscle force and body positioning before, during, and after release of an arrow for promoting accurate shooting of the arrow with the bow. The archery training device promotes a push-pull balance between the archer's string arm elbow and bow hand throughout the shot while also providing feedback of this balance when shooting arrows. The archery training device includes a string arm connector which is securable to the string arm elbow and a bow hand connector that is secured to the bow hand of the archer so as not to interfere with the archer's grasp of the bow. An elastomeric force carrying member elastically extends between the string arm connector and the bow hand connector to create a constant tensional force between the string arm elbow and the bow hand when the archer is in the full draw position. Alternatively, a remote anchor may be positioned away from the archer, and by connecting the elastomeric force carrying member to the remote anchor a non-parallel constant tensional force may be created between the string arm, elbow and the bow hand. The muscles associated with the archer's upper body are thereby required to remain taut throughout the draw and release of the bowstring to maintain a proper push-pull balance throughout the shot, while also restraining the anchor hand, bow hand, string arm, and shoulders from movement that would adversely affect shooting accuracy. The archery training device allows the archer to practice shooting groups of arrows whose grouping patterns provide feedback to the archer relating to the archer's push-pull balance and upper body posture.
