Sights and a steady routine
Ready when: Fixing the group (i1) done.
What the coach teaches
A second reference point (the string touching the nose), moving the sight toward where the arrows land to correct the aim, and a pre-shot routine that stays the same every time.
At home, safe only
Practise the same breath and posture routine before each stance hold.
Ask the club
How the club teaches the pre-shot routine and sight marks.
What you can see from the side
The child does the same routine each shot, even after a poor one.
Self-check what the coach confirms
The child uses the routine on 9 of 10 shots in a session.
Stop and get a coach when
The child is shooting to avoid feeling a poor score.
Intermediate is done when the instructor can name the child's main fault and the child corrects it without being told.
