Myths about Follow-through

90 percent of all release shooting archers believe that proper follow-through means that they must try to keep their pin on the target after the shot. This leads to poor technique. The very best archers always let the shot “explode”. They know that trying to keep their pin on the target at the moment of the release demands that they relax the bow arm at the exact moment of the shot. They know that this tactic will lead to flinching under pressure which is one of the most common and visible symptoms of target panic.

Totally agree. I’m an “instinctive” shooter (no sights or release aids) but in my opinion the principle is the same. “Follow through” ,as many other things in archery, belongs to subconscious.
