| I only started shooting compound around 3 months ago, but I found that simply shooting was the best possible exercise. I've gone from being able to hold relatively steady for a FITA 18 over the winter to being steady for the duration of a York last sunday. One thing I find is that I tire much more quickly in practice, purely because I'm shooting much faster than in competition.
To give an idea of what sort of training I was doing - probably around 25 dozen arrows with the compound per week (in 3 sessions) and then reversals a couple of times a week with my recurve (34# limbs). I only did this for around 3 weeks and there was a substantial increase in my stability. |
