In the Setting the Hook Drill, where should the string be placed on your fingers?

In the Setting the Hook Drill, the correct placement of the string on your fingers is on the first groove of the first three fingers. This positioning is crucial for achieving proper tension and control when drawing and releasing the bowstring. By placing the string in this manner, archers can better maintain a consistent anchor point and ensure their grip on the string is secure yet relaxed.

This technique allows the archer to effectively transfer energy from the bow to the arrow while also preventing finger fatigue or excessive tension in the hand. Proper string placement helps promote an optimal shooting form, enhancing accuracy and consistency. This is a fundamental aspect of archery that is emphasized in coaching to ensure that archers establish a solid foundation for their technique.
