The Biomechanically Efficient Shooting Technique
The BEST Method
The BEST method is designed to develop sound shooting form and shot execution from the
beginning.  The BEST method is a result of careful study of the most successful archers in
international competition combined with extensive scientific research into all aspects of the
archery shot.  The result of these study efforts is a shooting form approach that maximizes the
body’s strengths and minimizes the shot variables.
