How to Do the Bow & Arrow in Cheerleading

Hi! I'm Mandy Butler on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to talk to you today about cheerleading motions. Now I'm going to take you through proper placement for a bow and arrow position. You're most often going to see this position with wide spread legs, rather than legs together because it just blends itself to more of a balance appearance. You're going to have your legs apart. Bring your arms up to a T just so you know what you're doing. As far as your placement is concerned, you'll have a better idea. Now I'm going to bend my right arm. Make that a right broken T. My left arm is still in a T. This is a right broken arrow because my right arm is bent. It's called a bow and arrow because it looks similar to when an archer uses his bow and arrow. The only difference is my wrists are rotated downward. This is a right bow and arrow. I'm going to switch it making a left broken T and a right T, and now I have a left broken arrow. You're going to see this in chants a lot. A lot of times you're going to see it in cheers. This is a right broken arrow. Left broken arrow.
