| One way I practice for a York is to shoot it in reverse order, 6doz @ 60, 4doz @ 80 and 2 doz @ 100; then 4doz @ each distance; building up to a complete reverse York, 2, 4, 6 doz @ 60, 80 & 100. This increases the stamina and allows you to keep the bow arm up throughout a regular York.
The main thing is to practice at 90m/100yd as much as possible, bow arm fatigue is a killer.
On the day of the competition, comfortable clothing, plenty of water, a seat and plenty of choccies, coffee, cigars & chewing gum keep me going.
