When he misses do not tell him what he did wrong after every arrows, just say it ok and keep stress away from it.
To me if you can not teach a kid to do it right they are to young to learn. That could be 6 or 13 depends on the child.
It is kind of like letting kids play soccer and not keeping score. Kind of void of the pint of sports.
I think by just letting him fling arrows and giving him the it is ok I did my best thought process will be hurting him later.
Agreed 100%,It took me years to fight off most my bad habits learned at an early age.I still have a few habits lingering around but most have been fixed.
What many don't understand is that some bad habits will actually cause injury as they get older.
