MB Archer Training Plan

Never make any chages to the bow's set up before a tournament. A couple of days before the shoot I will thoroughly check the bow (and stabilisation, sight, string etc.), making sure that everything is ok (are all of the bolts tight). I will also clean and examine each arrow carefully, replacing any suspect nocks or fletchings

And then put the limbs on upside down, right?

Wow! There is a serious amount of information to digest in that Fita training plan. Thanks moo-mop

I am in the same position you are.

Started archery in middle of 2006 - begineers course, achieved 1st class by the end of 2006.

Had a terrible year last year, because of work and weather, etc (excuses), but still got to my bowman level. Once achieved bowman, I decided I wanted to achieve MB in 2008.

So since then I have been preparing. During the winter I am only really able to shoot on Sundays, so not much.

Currently I walk home from work, 5.5 miles in 1.5 hours. Weight training when I get home, 1 muscle group per day for 5 days a week. Controlled diet, etc.

As soon as I am able to shoot, I willbe cycling to my field 5 miles, 35 - 45 minutes. Then shooting the rest of the time.

My shooting training will be:

3 targets (I struggle a little with the changes in distance at comps):
100 yards - 4 ACEs, 4, Navs - all arrow positions recorded
80 yards - 4 ACEs, 4 Navs - all arrow positions recorded
60 yards - 3 ACEs, Navs - all arrow positions recorded

1 target:
10 yards - 10 fatboys - focus on different sctions of technique

My kit will remain the same for the entire summer season (hopefully), all setup during the winter/indoor season.
