    The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different archery
    methods on their shooting performances. Similarities or differences in each
    method were compared in certain steps in the shooting cycle of the
    participants, while performances were compared using the score achieved on
    a target face. The participants are four male recurve archers from Kelantan
    who volunteered to join this study. Pre and post-test scores of the total points
    for 36 arrows shot at 10 meters and 30 meters were collected. A 3D motion
    analysis (Qualysis AB, Sweden) system was used to record the method of the
    archers for stance, posture, and shoulder alignment phase. After a
    familiarisation period with the body markers and testing environment, the
    participants were asked to shoot 36 arrows with their personal method at a
    distance of 10 meters and 30 meters. Then, the participants were taught the
    new method known as Biomechanically Efficient Shooting Technique (BEST)
    method. One week was given for the participants to practice and familiarize
    with the new method. The scores were collected again at 10 meters and 30
    meters with the BEST method. The methods of recurve archery were further
    broken down to 10 steps for analysis. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to
    detect the differences between their own method and the BEST method based
    on the 3D motion analysis data. Most of the participants showed significant
    changes in the shooting steps, 8 steps out of 10 steps showed significant
    differences based on p value. This showed that the BEST method is different
    from the participants’ method. The changes used in the method showed the
    improvement in the shooting performance. Most of the participants showed
    improvement in the score for 10 meters and 30 meters as well as the distance
    of the arrow away from the centre based on the p value. Thus, from the result, it can be concluded that the BEST method is able to improve the participants’
    performances.
