Practicing based off of Coach's post match analysis.

Extra comment from coach ; your arrows always land bow side(left aide) of the target since you push your bow side before pull draw side. Push and pull must haappen at the same time. Don't separate it.

Fixing target panic - achieve full draw first without aim, and then start aiming. Gotta hold when I achieved aim for about 2 more seconds for perfect satisfying shots.

arrows have blunt tips and when it hits the target, it bounces off. The sensor on the target indicates hit with sound and flickering light.

Thumbdraw style doesn't naturally have wobbly arrow trajectile. If you form is good and release wasn't collapsing, you can shoot the arrow without any arrow slap(shaft hitting the arrow pass at release) which would lead to clean arrow flight.

Rhis is Korean traditional point of view, but keep holding onto the bow handle all the way through the release. letting go at release makes the bow shake around on your bow hand and it'a prone to hitting the arrow.
