Download or read book How to get rid of the Archer s Reflex written by Jes Lysgaard and published by Verlag Angelika Hörnig. This book was released on 2022-12-10 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who has progressed past the stage of ‘just shooting’ knows that moment of mental confusion when the subconscious mind somehow takes control over the conscious attempt to release the string steadily for accurate, repeatable shots, leaving a surprise poor shot and a sense of amnesia about what led up to it. Don’t PANIC – it‘s just a reflex! The archery world has long referred to this as ’target panic’. Yet most affected archers feel no sense of panic at all: they plan the shot, feel comfortable about taking it, and are unafraid of the bow recoiling or the arrow hitting its mark. In fact, they experience no ‚panic’ at all. Yet most find that they experience the same outcome: an uncontrolled release, followed by that baffled feeling. As the arrow lands askew, and our memory of those critical moments goes blank, we ask ourselves „What happened there?” In this ground-breaking practical guide Jes Lysgaard applies his background in psychology and hypnotherapy to his experience as a traditional archer, to uncover what our minds are actually doing as we live this frustrating experience. Jes explains how this neural program has quietly become so deeply ingrained over the course of our hundreds of previous successful shots that, at that vital moment in our shot cycle, it knows “this is what good looks like; go now!”, quite outside our conscious control. Meanwhile, the cognitive process which we have rehearsed to hold and expand for an involuntary, perfectly stable release is still obediently determined to hold the string until it releases automatically. This sudden clash between opposing neural signals - the conscious ‘hold!’ and the subconscious ‘release now!‘ - gives rise to that bewildering mental flurry and yet another uncontrolled release. Not a ‘panic’ at all. Just the Archer’s Reflex. REGAIN CONTROL – REPROGRAM YOUR BRAIN In practical steps which you can follow as you practise, Jes shows how to deprogram your own Archer’s Reflex, and build in its place a new, positive, replacement neural program with which you can regain control over your shot cycle and fresh enjoyment of your shooting. REDISCOVER THE JOY OF SHOOTING

Download or read book Weapons and Tools in Rock Art written by Ana M. S. Bettencourt and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weapons and tools are frequently found depicted in rock art in many parts of the globe and different periods and in varying social contexts. This collection of papers by leading rock art specialists examines the subjective and metaphorical value of weapons and tools in art, the actions that created them, and their contexts. It also takes into account that such representations incorporate and transmit some kind of understanding about the world and the relationship between objects and humans. Contributors analyse objects and weapons as status symbols, as evidences of cultural contacts, as ideological devices, etc. Divided into regional sections which, for once, do not focus on Scandinavia, chapters deal with the representations of weapons and certain kinds of tools (such as axes and sickles) in different prehistoric, protohistoric and traditional community contexts all over the world. Attention focuses on rock art, but also looks at stelae and statue-menhirs, as well as other kinds of ‘container’ or vehicle for this kind of depiction. The major concern is to discuss the possible meanings of these embodied signs in different areas and periods, since meanings are permeable both to time and space. Papers either centre their attention in broader approaches based on a specific area, region or people, or focus on particular case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia “Peachy” Archer Laliberte has almost gotten her life under control. Peachy, her husband Beau, and their two rambunctious sons live on the family farm in a small town in Canada, just across the border from the U.S.. Their closest neighbor is Peachy’s draft-dodging hairdresser father, Lou, who lives in a trailer on their land. Although her son Sam has epilepsy, Peachy, Beau, and Lou have worked out a successful system to care for him and maintain as normal a family life as possible, and Peachy’s status as a superhuman caregiver has its own rewards. When her life on the farm isn’t quite enough, Peachy can always live vicariously through her glamorous, New York City–dwelling sister, Beth. Thin, successful, and passionate Beth has clawed her way to the top, stepping on anyone it takes to get there — including, every so often, her younger sister. Still, Peachy and Beth are close, and they support each other through crises of all kinds. They support each other, that is, until Beth decides to sleep with Peachy’s husband Beau — who just happens to be Beth’s ex-boyfriend. Furious, Peachy decides to go to New York City — alone — and leaves Beth home to care for her family. As she spends a terrified, exciting weekend alone in the middle of Beth’s life, Peachy must confront questions of love, loyalty, and family to find her way back home.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of the Global History of Warfare written by Kaushik Roy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook examines key aspects of the development of the global history of warfare and the changing patterns of warfare over time. Although scholarship has long eschewed a chronological narrative of the evolution of warfare that privileges the Western experience, global histories of warfare have had difficulty avoiding an overemphasis on the West. The present volume is a collection of themes rather than a history per se; it provides important perspectives on the emergence of warfare as a global historical experience from the ancient past to the present day. Drawing together numerous experts, it tells a broader, more inclusive story of the global, human experience with wars and warfare. The 35 cahtpers are organised in eight thematic parts: Part I: Origins of Warfare Part II: Polities and Armed Forces in the Pre-Modern Era Part III: Steppe Nomads of Eurasia Part IV: Naval Warfare and Piracy in the Pre-Industrial World Part V: The Impact of Gunpowder Part VI: Transition from Industrial to Total War Part VII: Wars of Decolonisation and Cold War Part VIII: Postmodern/New Wars These Parts offer an overview of the global experience of warfare to help readers understand how the wars and the militaries we see today have been shaped by historical developments across the globe. This handbook will be of great interest to students of military history, naval history, strategic studies and world history in general.
