A ver, aprovechando este espacio para la arquería tradicional, yo quiero hacer una pregunta...
Encontré esta guía para tirar un recurvo. Primero quiero ver qué opinan, si se tratará para olímpico o si estos pasos jalan igual para un tradicional. Ahí va:
1. Stance. Place one foot on each side of the shooting line. Place your feet shoulder-width apart; you should feel well balanced. Stand straight and tall, and keep your head up and your shoulders straight and relaxed.
2. Nock the arrow. Pull an arrow from your quiver holding it by its nock. Place the arrow on the arrow rest of your bow, and position the arrow so the index vane (the odd-colored one) faces you and is perpendicular to the bowstring. Fit the nock onto the string directly below your nock locator. You should hear the nock click into place on the string.
3. Set your grip. Keep your shoulders down and loose, and set your bow hand into position on the bow grip nice and relaxed. Only the meaty part of your palm and thumb should grip the bow. Your fingers should remain relaxed and loose. Place your first three fingers, protected by the finger tab, directly under the arrow. The bowstring should be in the first groove of your finger joints. If you’re new to archery, it’s best to start with three fingers under the arrow. This placement is simpler to learn, and it helps keep the arrow on the arrow rest by limiting the torque on the bowstring.
4. Predraw your bow. Raise the bow toward the target while keeping your shoulders down and relaxed. Put a slight tension on the bowstring by extending your bow arm toward the target and pulling back slightly with your drawing hand. Look at the target through your front sight (if you have one installed) or down the shaft of the arrow. If your bow arm seems to be sticking out and is in the way of the bowstring, rotate it down and out of the way. The elbow of your drawing arm should be at the same level as your nose.
5. Draw your bow. Slowly draw your bow back by rotating your drawing-arm shoulder around until your elbow is directly behind the arrow. Keep your drawing hand relaxed, your bow shoulder down, and your body erect. Make your drawing motion continuous all through the shot.
6. Anchor. Draw the string to the front of your face, and anchor with your forefinger on the corner of your smile. Continue to minutely draw back the bow by moving the back muscles of your drawing arm. Keep your drawing hand relaxed.
7. Aim. Focus your eyes and your concentration on the center of the target. Keep the string lined up with the center of the bow limbs and continue your gradual draw.
8. Release. Simply release any tension in your fingers, and allow the string to let loose while you continue to draw back smoothly. Continue to extend your bow arm toward the target as you concentrate on it.
9. Follow-through. Every great release has a great follow-through. Allow your relaxed drawing hand to continue back until it stops near your shoulder naturally. Your bow arm continues its extension toward the target. Maintain your follow-through until your arrow hits the target.
Pulling and carrying arrows. Although not generally considered to be part of the actual shooting sequence, pulling and carrying your arrows properly is equally important in finishing your shot. Approach your target from one side. Place your outspread hand onto the target face and around the arrow. Grasp the arrow with your other hand as close to the target as possible, and gently pull the arrow straight out of the target. Rotate the arrow carefully if it sticks.
Once you have removed the arrow, place it into your side quiver (or place the arrow on the ground if you have no side quiver), and continue pulling arrows out of the target and placing them either in your quiver or on the ground until you are finished. Walk back to the shooting line, and place the arrows into your ground quiver. Arrows should be carried using both hands. One hand holds the arrows upright covering their points, and the other hand holds the group of arrows firmly near the crest.
OK. Ahora, he visto tanto en los 3D's como con la raza y en el Outdoor Channel, a varios tradicionales que tiran como agachados, agazapados, echando el arco y la cabeza por delante de los pies y la cadera y un poco hacia abajo, no así derechitos como dicen aquí. No sé si sea por el hecho de que al estar de cacería, no conviene dejarse mostrar mucho ante la presa o si sea un estilo de tiro o si, de plano, sea no mas un vicio o mala costumbre en la postura a la hora de tirar.
A ver qué opinan, qué les ha funcionado mejor, etc.!
