When you are focusing on the draw of the bow, you will want to make sure that your arm is straight and the string is pulled back straight and is kept below the level of your chin. Your big knuckle of your index finger should be directly under the jawbone and the string should be nearly touching your face.

If you have aimed correctly and have stood the proper way, you should have hit the target that you were aiming at and came within a reasonable distance of the center of the target. If you missed or did not come with in a reasonable distance of the bull’s-eye, then don’t worry about it and continue to practice. It will take several practice rounds before you fully understand the concept and the method of shooting the recurve bow. Learn more about Bear recurve bow or Parker bows.
