Archery dates back to the Paleolithic era when people used bows and arrows to hunt for food and protect themselves from predators. Although archery is still used for hunting today, it’s more commonly a sport enjoyed on both the leisurely and competitive level by people throughout the world. According to the staff at Bullet Hole Annex, an indoor archery range based in Belleville, NJ, it takes more than a steady hand and good aim to master the sport, though.

Below, the team shares three necessary qualities every good archer should possess:

  • indoor-archery-rangeConsistency: As with any sport, practice makes perfect. This is especially true to become an expert archer. By practicing bow techniques every day, both on the practice field and in an indoor archery range, you will develop a consistent draw. This will improve your overall draw time and accuracy at hitting targets in different settings.  
  • Dedication: On the road to success, most competitive archers practice the same routines over and over again. Many spend hours at the indoor archery range shooting several arrows at the same targets. Their dedication to this repetitive task strengthens several skills, including how to gauge distances, handle bows and arrows of different weight and size, and accurately hit the mark. 
  • Positive Attitude: While improving your skills, you are bound to hit a few bumps along the way. To become a good archer, you must possess a positive attitude. Having an upbeat outlook will help you grow and learn from mistakes instead of letting them become roadblocks to success. 

Begin your mastery of the sport and improve your mental and physical well-being at the same time at Bullet Hole Annex. The staff is standing by to provide the expert instruction needed to succeed.
