Stance and its importance in the coil.

   While coaching I have noticed several archers are having a hard time lining up with a open stance.

This is slightly odd since we teach NTS at JOAD, NTS  suggests an open stance is best for the system. While I don't agree with all of what KSL says I do agree on this point.

   When lining up slightly to a little more than slightly open it is actually setting your posture to help get a good coil and in turn good alignment, especially the bow arm.

 When we set the bow arm alignment when getting into set set up by pulling your bow shoulder into position you get a little "precoil" then there is room to get the final coil when bringing your release arm into alignment. both become harder from a neutral position, worse in forcing the shoulders into alignment while neutral it can(not for everyone) cause the bow shoulder to pop up. we all strive for perfect alignment and a low  shoulders. Proper care in the set setup ,after a good stance, will help everything come together.

  Remember that NTS is a system, every facet needs to be done correctly, and if the last step was done correctly it should make the next step easier to do.
