Smile Training for 12 dozen!
Hi All,

Just did my second york yesterday and it dawned on me that I wasn't physically up to shooting 12 dozen arrows in competition! It made me question what people do to prepare for a days shooting. I'll admit it's no marathon, but it does seem to be an endurance event. Also the action of drawing the bow to shoot 100 yards seems to be more energy sapping than doing exactly the same for 60 yards - but I know it's not.

Can you all tell me how you do it? I have tried the power breakfast, the pre tournament warm ups and the banana and fruit pastille diet throughtout the day but by the time they blow that final whistle I am absolutely flattened!

TIA

Johnnyb
