Another great drill to improve your archery posture is this “T-posture slide” drill. Some archers get used to shooting with a bend in the spine but it feels to them as if they are standing straight. When you slide and reset back to the central position during this drill, you can learn the feeling of the central, “T-posture” position. Do this drill in front of a mirror for added benefit. To read more about the technical side of archery posture and what is correct, see our Recurve Archery Technique – Stance & Posture section.
There are some useful core exercises you can do in the gym which are similar to these “T-Slides”, see our Recurve Archery Exercises section.
