What should an instructor do if an archer is struggling to draw their bow?

When an archer is struggling to draw their bow, assessing the bow's draw weight and considering a lighter bow is a practical and effective approach. A bow that has a draw weight too heavy for the archer's strength or skill level can lead to poor form, frustration, and even injury. By evaluating the draw weight, the instructor can ensure that the equipment is suitable for the archer's physical capabilities. A lighter bow will allow the archer to draw more easily and focus on developing proper shooting techniques without the added challenge of an unsuitable draw weight.

This approach also supports the long-term growth of the archer, as it fosters a positive learning environment where they can experience success. Once the archer is more comfortable with their equipment and gains confidence in their abilities, they can potentially transition to a heavier bow when they are ready.
