6. Drawing the Bow

 

 

From the Pre-Draw position, use the back muscles to pull the elbow of the drawing arm backwards in one smooth motion until the drawing hand is placed against the jaw.
The position of the head and body should not move.
(Pull the bowstring to the face, not move the face to meet the bowstring.)
An equal amount of push on the bow hand and pull on the drawing hand will keep the body balanced.
