Consult a good coach, yes, but unfortunately despite seeing many in my career I have found that many (even some national ones) do not know their lats from their elbow. Furthermore many seem to think that archers should all shoot the same way, and still more insist on pushing their view even if it is uncomfortable to the archer or even when they have been asked not to. Less shocking but just as annoying is the tendency to see too small a picture and to keep harping on about a particular thing even if something else is obviously a problem, and the constant "you're not doing it right" is an assault on the archers confidence.

Therefore while a good coach is an absolutely invaluable tool a poor coach is like shooting with someone tapping your longrod at odd intervals, so I cannot recommend to someone that they take that risk.
