Archery Fitness Training

CLICK HERE GO TO ARCHERY FITNESS TRAINING

Most archers spend their normal working week in an office environment, sat in front of a computer screen. These factors alone have more of an impact than you would imagine on your ability to execute the perfect shot time and time again.

It is too easy to ignore exercise in your preparation because you don't see immediate benefits, like you would with help from an archery coach. You just don't know what the true cost of avoiding physical training is on your performance until you experience what it really feels like to be on top physical form.

1. Physical Fitness plays a BIGGER role in your shoot "Performance" than you may think?

You take your practice sessions seriously and meticulously prepare for all your competitions.

However there always seems to be an element that you are missing which means your ability to maintain your consistency is challenged.

You may have noticed at those weekend long tournaments, your ability to execute the perfect shot gets harder and harder as you fatigue at the end of the shoot. You start making stupid mistakes, which ultimately ends up costing you points and the competition itself.

Shooting is not the most physically demanding sport in the world, how is it that we get so fatigued?

2. Flexibility, or lack of, is really messing with your "form"

You've probably got tired of hearing all the so called "science" behind stretching and warming up, but have you ever stopped to think about what it is actually doing to your muscles?

There is enough evidence to suggest certain types of warming up and stretching may cause your muscles to shut down and cause TOO MUCH unstable mobility around a joint.

Have you noticed that the first shot of the day after all that arm waving and shoulder stretching just feels wrong?

Some people do actually get the warming up thing right, but more often by accident rather than by design!

3. Optimal Function plays a huge role in making you better prepared for winning

When the body doesn't function optimally, you leak energy%u2026 Everything from bad standing posture, low back pain, walking gait pattern, old shoulder injuries, sub-optimal nutrition etc etc%u2026 all drain your energy reserves, little by little all day long.

By clearing yourself of all this little energy leaks, do you think your ability to perform over a long weekend of intense shooting would improve?

I'd like to believe some of the improvements in my own shooting performance has been about plugging some of my big energy leaks!

Anyway, enough about me this is about you right?

This training method was developed for those who want to be the best at what they do. Every major athlete trains to achieve greatness. This is that training for Archers.

Archery is a sport and a great one at that, but the fact is Bow Hunters make up the biggest portion of archers in the world.
Bow Hunters spend time and money preparing for Bow season. Arrows, tips, gear, the whole 9 yards. It would only seem right that Bow Hunters train in order to be the best that they can be. You may only get one shot, you have to make it count.
