It's easy to forget just how much exercise an archery shoot provides. Take a recurve archer shooting 40 lbs (~18kg) during a double FITA (288 arrows).
Over the two days, the archer will have pulled over 5000kg. Walking to and from the target to score and collect arrows, the archer will have walked over 7.5km.
Remember this excludes sighters, pulling arrows and walking around the shooting line.
It's no wonder we feel tired at the end of shoot.
And you mustn't forget to add trips to the cake stand!
