Archery weight training

hi all,

i have been shooting compound for about 3 months now, and am putting serious practice in with ever increasing results.

i have started doing pushups every day as my coach instructed, and am shooting a couple of 100 arrows a week. i think this is helping core strength already, but time will truly tell.

the problem i seem to be having, is holding the bow up for any length of time, steady.

i know it is supposed to be more about the back half, and i know the sight is supposed to float a little, but i wana really be able to hold the bow with a relaxed arm throughout long days of shooting, consistantly.

what decent and easy training can i do with regards to strenthening my front arm, (without making it too large) that could be done without the need of going to a gym preferably? + is it the triceps that is the primary holder?
