Bowhunters Meditation Module
I tried the Bowhunters Meditation Module yesterday. I plan on trying to do this at least weekly rotating the visualization through different stands/locations that I hunt. I’m really liking some of the structured mental exercises available here.

@Grant Richardson Sure Grant. I’ll break it down to a few things. The first thing is that it wasn’t just calming meditation but it was also fun. I was already familiar with the breathing aspect from previous work related training on mindfulness and being present in the moment. I liked the linkage between the breathing and visualizing an actual hunting scenario. I think the way you lay the visualization out directing the person to use one of their own stands is really valuable. It takes you through an actual scenario that plays out in a calm and controlled fashion. If and when the real moment arrives your mind has already been there and you’ve already successfully made the shot.

So what archery books are you reading or what do you recommend? I’m in the middle of Bows on the little delta and so far I highly recommend it.

🎯The One Instinctive Aiming Drill Almost No One Practices (But Should)
Grant Richardson has written many articles in Traditional Bowhunting Magazines and I had the opportunity to speak to him about the "One Instinctive Aiming Drill Almost No One Practices (But Should)"... You don’t need your bow for this. You don’t need a range. All you need is two quiet minutes. The Drill ⬇️ Minute 1: Sit down. Pick ONE spot across the room.Lock in. No movement. No drifting. Minute 2: Raise your bow arm and visualize: Draw → anchor → release → hold. Visualize whatever you shoot - target, 3D, or an animal. The brain doesn’t know the difference between real reps and focused visualization. Why This Works ✅ - Trains focus and concentration - Builds instinctive aiming pathways - Exposes weakness under pressure - Sharpen skills even when you can’t shoot Instinctive shooting is a perishable skill. If you don’t train it, you lose it. This drill keeps you sharp - even off the range. 👇 Question for the group: What breaks your focus the fastest when you’re shooting - movement, noise, or pressure? Let’s talk.

I started using this drill the last couple of days and plan on incorporating it into my morning standard routine; devotional reading, chess puzzle, and now this mental archery drill. With our current weather here in PA I can only shoot indoors at our local range. I was able to get a lunchtime session in today and really noticed a difference in my focus on a spot after only doing the drill for a few days. I agree with what has been said previously. If I start seeing the tip of the arrow it completely throws me off.
