So..until I invest in my own bow does anyone out there have any tips on strengthening the weaker arm? I have some stretching bands for warming up and general exercise but wonder if there is anything else I can do. I'm not looking to draw 40lbs+ with my first bow (probably nearer 30-34lbs) but still feel I need some help to build up not just the strength but stamina.
Cheers
Damage | Holding the bow steady in the bow hand at full is as much or more about form and good alignment as strength. "Talk to your coach" is always a good start...
