Abstract
An archery training assembly includes a mount that may be coupled to a bow. A clicker is movably coupled to the mount. The clicker includes a magnet and the magnet is magnetically attracted to a tip of an arrow. The magnet frictionally engages the arrow when the arrow is fully drawn thereby facilitating the clicker to make an audible click when the arrow is fully drawn.
