How to shoot a bow

Don’t worry about technique, just do the exercise the best you can. Get a bow, and arrows. Use your left hand as the dominate hand in this exercise. Grip the bow with your right hand, and shoot with your left hand. You should be aiming mostly with your left eye. I would first start off with a close target, then medium, then far. You can decide what those distance are by feeling. Keep shooting at a target till you feel any tiredness in your left hand and arm. The goal is to help coordinate your left side.If you are not sure how to shoot a arrow, then you can look at the simple pictures below. As a recommendation, make sure to put safety first when doing this exercise. If you can, use a toy bow and arrow designed for safety. Those toy bow and arrow for kids, are always safe.
