This book contains exercises to help archers of all abilities improve their archery technique, moblity, fitness and balance. These are exercises you can do at home or at the range, (no need to go to the gym for any of them). They use just your own body, stretch bands and bows, and are aimed at the person behind the bow, not the bow itself. It is perfect for Coaches working with archers and for archers who wish to improve. Included is information on the back and shoulder assembly and how to try maintain them in a healthy condition using pre-hab and re-hab exercises. The basics of each bow discipline such as recurve, longbow, barebow and compound are the same and this book is aimed at Tuning the Archer rather than the bow so is suitable for archers of all bow types. Contents include: Equipment used for the exercises Different types of exercise Warm-ups and information Shoulder information and exercises Main back muscles used Balance and Core exercises and strengthening Breathing exercises Drills and Skills Shot Cycle Stance and Posture Alignment and Draw Hook and Bow Hand Band, bow and elbow sling exercises Complete cycle and individual parts practice Differences between the Sexes This manual is aimed at all levels of archer, from the complete beginner to experienced competitors and those coming back to the sport after a break or injury and who wish to improve their technique, strength and shot. My hope is that it will help Coaches find the root cause of any problems with their archers and be able to help them, and it will help Archers learn more about their bodies and how to control them for shooting.
