Let me know what you think of the sound quality as I’ve been quite impressed. I do wonder off topic a bit and talk about the wildlife that’s surrounding me.
Sorry it’s taken so long to be posted but unfortunately my heaths taken a hit as you might be able to tell in the recording and I’ve been laid up for several days as it triggered my Asthma.

Feedback and Feed Blocks

Onto the topic of this session which, is focusing on acting on the feedback you receive from your body and brain when going through your shot sequence.

In the episode I talk about feedback and what I call feed blocks. These are points in your shot sequence where you have the opportunity to receive feedback from the process. It provides an opportunity for you to either go yes feedback is positive so move on or stop before you make a mistake or error in judgement.
Feed blocks are when you, as an archer decide to ignore this feedback your body is giving you. You block the input you are receiving thats’ telling you something is wrong and push through. You continue with the shot. This can be a bad idea, as the results can vary and are often not what you want. Yes, you might be lucky and the arrow. Hitting where you are aiming but chances are it won’t, leaving you annoyed at yourself. The larger problem is the impact this can have long term as you begin to believe you can push through and still make a shot.

You need to be able to listen to the feedback and act on it correctly, whether this is positive feedback or negative.
Whether you are an instinctive archer or a process based shooter you need to have points in your draw and shooting sequence where you can take a moment and decide whether you should or should not be moving forward to the next step.
Remember just because you draw up, doesn’t mean you have to take the shot. It is something I cover in a past article on this site The hardest lesson

Enjoy your shooting and as always thanks for reading.
