| RE: Newbie: What injuries have you sustained.....
When I started archery, I shot... too well and certainly enjoyed too much shooting.
I got heavier bows and shot a lot, too much in fact; also, my form was far from perfect.
Results: tendinotis of the triceps of the drawing arm and contracture of the deltoïde. I was handicaped for almost 8 months and I started archery again only after 2 years.
I learnt: to stop shooting when something hurts, to drink a lot of water and to do long warming-up before nocking an arrow on the bow... |
