— Archery tips for beginners with Coach Mouaadh from Mud and Lotus Baja — Come shoot with us during the upcoming retreat on April 24 - 27! Interested in private lessons? DM for beginner archery lessons on our beach ranch! “Archery safety is, in some ways, pretty similar to gun safety. Only point your bow in a safe direction and don’t nock an arrow until you’re ready to shoot. Make sure nobody is past the firing line before you begin shooting. Also, never ever dry fire a bow. Meaning, never pull back on the string and let go while you don’t have an arrow nocked. This is really bad for the health of the bow and you can seriously hurt yourself if you’re not careful. Frequently check to make sure your arrows are in good condition before shooting. You can do this by gently bending the arrows and checking for any cracking. Damage arrows can split into pieces and really hurt you so be careful. Also apply common sense and always be aware of your surroundings.  Step two, your stance. Perfecting your stance is something you’ll do over the course of years. For now, simply stand squared off to your target, put slight pressure onto the balls of your feet as if  you’re leaning forward at the ankles. Keep your head up and be mindful of your back. Make sure not to tense up or arch your lower back. Also, it’s easy to tense up your chest and shoulders while shooting, so make sure to stay relaxed. There are different stances, such as opened or closed. If you’re interested in finding out what is best for your, I would recommend shooting with a teacher. A third party will notice issues in your stance that you can’t see yourself. Remember, archery is easy to learn but difficult to perfect, so practice often.” #mudandlotusbaja #yoga #kravmaga #wellness #homestead #bajacalifornia #archery #archerytips #recurvebow #shooting #baja #archerysafety #arrows #archerylessons #archeryforbeginners
