International Archery Federation (FITA) is the international governing body of archery. FITA is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. Archery was introduced as a men's event in the modern Summer Games in 1900 for the first time. The thirtieth Summer Games will be held in the year 2012 in the London Olympic Stadium in London and Archery is included in the schedule.

Archery Techniques

These are the three basic archery techniques that are required for goog player. These are given below.

Archery Stance

Your stance determines the strength, consistency, and the accuracy of your shot. There are different archery stances. It would be best that you learn all of them and use the one that best fits the occasion. The Even stance is the stance following a natural position stance. It is also very easy to do. However, this stance is not advisable for shooters that have wide chests, as it lowers the area for clearance of the string. Other than the Even stance, you can also do the Open stance, Closed stance, and Oblique stance.

Drawing and Aiming Techniques

To draw your weapon and aim at your target, it is important that your fingers are relaxed. This is the very basic drawing and aiming technique that you should master. To help you with it, use the necessary accessories. An arm guard is going to be essential. The way you draw and aim at your target depends upon your skills and physical abilities as an archer. However, you should also consider the type of bow that you are using.

Release and Follow-Through Techniques


To properly release your arrow, you need to exude both relaxation and concentration. For a good follow-through, make sure that all your fingers resting on the bowstring are relaxed. Your eyes and head should be turned toward the target at all times too, following the direction and the flight of the launched arrow. Your bow arm should be extended towards your target. And lastly, your hand should grip the bow. Use the sling to help you out in this step.
