GNAS Archery Fitness Project: Archer Survey

The GNAS is running a survey comparing shooting ability to fitness level. This news piece has a link to the questionnaire:
http://www.gnas.org/nlstory.cfm?ID=16475&NLID=40831

My fitness and shooting ability would make a cat laugh, but I'll fill it in anyway.

They've had 232 responses so far according to the item -- I'd have thought that would be enough to get statistically meaningful figures, but the more the merrier.

I don't recall anything in the rules of shooting that says an archer has to be fit

Some of the questions seemed a bit vague. What do they mean by Lifestyle? or work?
The type of work, Manual, sedantry (Pen pusher) factory etc I think would have been more to the point.
As to the archery related H/C I had to put 0 for all types of bow, as the number of competitions I shoot in 12 months =less than3 (Too busy coaching & doing other things), also I have no record of a lot of my shooting past. The club record book had gone AWAL, then a month or so back half of it came back without my records.

Thumbs up

I agree. A good proportion of the questions are either too vague, too easily misinterpreted, too redundant (I doubt it's deliberate) or too black & white.

Soneone could do with going on a course on questionnaire writing/validating.

I tried to provide feedback in the free text box, but there wasn't one.

I sent it to GNAS via their website enquiries page anyway.
