| I am only speaking for myself here, no science or medical backup, just my experience.
I am built for lifting a pencil. I am not fit really;nor young. I can shoot a York or other similar rounds. At the end I am tired, but not in the sense that I could not shoot another arrow. The concentration on the shooting leaves me "tired of concentrating". No aches or pains or stiffness next day.
If you feel you are worn out, physically, before the last dozen, perhaps the bow is too heavy for you or the technique my need a little brushing up.
If you don't shoot 12 dozen regularly then that is likely to add to the difficulty.
I have never done exercises to help endurance;I just shoot many arrows when I get the chance. If I had to do something to help with endurance it would probably be drawing the bow lots of times, trying to get the proper alignment and holding at full draw for longer than a normal shot.( when I know I am not going to shoot an arrow,I sometimes get lazy on the draw and don't do it as well as I should. I think that is something to avoid in practice sessions)  |
