This is my indoor recurve scoring round for the Kaminski Archery Backyard Championships. I shot this round using the same arrows that participants can win as part of the current giveaway tied to the event!
This round didn’t start great. I was trying to control too many details at once and it showed in my execution. As the round went on, I simplified my focus and went back to the most important things that must happen no matter what. Once I did that, my shooting improved immediately in the second half.
In this video I talk through what I was feeling, where things were breaking down, and why focusing on the highest-priority fundamentals matters so much when you’re under pressure. Even when other things aren’t perfect, maintaining direction, tension, and commitment to the shot made the biggest difference for me.
The Backyard Archery Championships is a digital mail-in tournament where archers from around the world can shoot at home, submit scores, and see how they stack up against others. You can shoot different styles, submit multiple scores, and use it as a fun way to practice and learn under real scoring pressure.
