did a demonstration at a corporate day once. recurve compound, then the longbow. no bracer with any. now the 65lb longbow with fastflight string. ouchy what a damn mess that was.lol

I think that the advice you were given was good advice. For elfin safety if nothing else... Coach has a "duty of care" towards people they work with... What you do with the advice is up to you, of course.

Then you go on and tell us about getting whacked by the string on your 65# longbow... 'nuff said.

I tell my leaders / coach trainees, always demonstrate best practice. Wearing a bracer is best practice.

do as i say not as i do...

i do wear a bracer for the longbow. normally.

if you dont need a bracer why wear one.
been shooting long enough to know that i dont require one for recurve or compound.

so if i were to pay for coaching what would i get? a complete new style that is the current trend of coaching, something to complement my current coaching form style?.
just because some one is good/top of there sport does not make them a good coach,most sports coaches never made the top but came very close.
a good coach in my opinion is one thats gets the best out of you the archer,
not all coaches agree on styles, with the exception of the basics, but even then there are differences, ie a consistant anchor, but some say side of chin where as the new(very old) trend is front of chin, (my coach was first introduced to this when he started but was unable to maintain good form with it so he was taught side of chin , 47 years ago)
i have found archery to be very open and most of the top shooters past and present will help you out if asked, but if you do not have access to a coach and you have to pay for tuition, remember its your money so shop around if you can, better to travel a futher 50 miles and get top coaching rather than save travel time and money and recieve poor.(in the long run it will cost you more)
