The bets way to build endurance is to practice more. Buy a line tent and a chair and sit down as much as you can. Drink little bits of water between ends.
I suspect at 100 yds you are consentrating more than you do at 60 yds, and may be holding a bit longer for each arrow. |
Dead right, practice is the key factor, if you can shoot two or three times a week then you will quite easily do a York physically after a two or three months, regular drinks and sensible eating is also very important (dont have a big meal at lunch time, little and often is better). The mental tiredness is a lot harder to overcome and I too am mentally drained after a York or FITA, all I want to do after one of these is go to sleep! Imagin doing a double FITA or a three day event like Norfolk, good job we enjoy it!!
