kinkychinky - 27/5/2005 10:32 AM Barry, would you advocate first building up stamina to be able to shoot 200 goods arrows rather than build up strength to draw heavier bows? I've seen "reversals" mentioned a few times. What is the meaning of this? Thanks

Some people have a heavier set of limbs at home and use them for reversals. Reversals are basically a set of exercises with a bow. For example you might do sets of drawing and holding a bow with a specific rest period between pulls. You can do this with the excellent formaster to get a technique strength workout. I shoot 42 but have a cheap set of limbs that are 50 something for workouts.</p>
You can build up#stamina with your curent limbs. One coach I met asked me to pull the bow#a minimum of 20 times with my left and right hand before after and during shooting after my tea break, and more as and when I could. Also to do this on#days when I can't get to the range. I did it for a few weeks and it really did make a difference. But now im too lazy and just use my home bow for when I cant get to the range.#</p>
