The release is the most important part of the shot. It is when everything comes together in a fraction of a second. The best way to perform the release is to just relax the fingers. As the arrow goes toward the target, the string hand should go in exactly the opposite direction.

Follow-through

"Follow through" refers to the movement of the drawing hand and arm after the release.

Once the archer has released the arrow, nothing should move. The archer must give the arrow time to clear the bow. To insure this, instruct your archers to wait until the arrow hits the target before moving at all. In the picture you can see that my release hand goes in the exact opposite direction as the arrow. Making sure that your shoulders don't collapse is very important. Also, notice that I am still aiming, long after the arrow is gone.

If the nocking point is too high, the arrow will be pointed "down" and come out of the bow low.

If the nocking point is too low, the arrow will be pointed "up" and come out of the bow high.

Nock rings can be placed on the bow to allow for consistency. A bow square and nock pliers can be used to set the nocking point properly.

A standard "Olympic Bow" is a recurve (not compound) bow with no more than 3 stabilizer extensions, a sight, and a clicker. An archer must use fingers and not a mechanical release and may not have a string peep sight or magnified aiming device.

Don't shoot straight up.
Never run on the archery range.
Approach the target from the side, not the front so you don't get poked by the arrows sticking out of the target.
Be sure your equipment is in good working order.
Be aware of who is around you at all times.
Don't "hide" behind the target.
Don't walk in front of another archer.
Don't talk on the shooting line.
While loading your bow be sure that the arrows are always pointing toward the target.
