At the conclusion of the follow-through, the body and mind need to get ready for the next shot and must let go of any tension created during the shot. Again, a couple of deep Zen breaths are recommended.
This is also the time for unemotional analytical feedback. Obviously, this is easier said than done, especially after a less than perfect shot. However, as results on the target are absolute, there is only benefit in analytical analysis. It is very important that the archer learns to "feel" the shot, so that any technical discrepancies in the shot can be recognized and corrective action can be taken in subsequent shots. Only the actual location of the arrow on the target should be of interest, as it provides feedback on the process and other assumptions made, including weather conditions.
It is very important for the continued learning process and the development of an archer that the archer accepts full responsibility for the outcome of the shot, there are no excuses. If the arrow is not in the Gold, there are only reasons, all for which the archer has to take responsibility. Common excuses such as the wind; distractions such as, the mobile phone that unexpectedly goes off, the TV cameras moving in for a close-up, the noise of the spectators, crying babies, etc., etc., etc. will need to be addressed, if they are found to be an issue for the archer. This concept will be discussed further under Chapter 8, Mental Training.
