This week I have learned a valuable lesson.
When people say ?to get good you need to shoot a lot of arrows?, there is a limit and that is your conditioning.
Sunday just gone the 3 of us in my little group had the field to our self as most of our club are hiding indoors, and as it?s not that could yet we are sticking it out as long as possible before we join them.
Because of this we were able to spread out and shoot at our own pace, from which I shot about 200 arrows, at the end of it I felt fine.
However when I came to shoot yesterday I was a mess, the draw weight felt Twice as heavy as it is, I could not steady my am and my anchor felt wrong even though it was the same as always, I hit my bracer a lot and had zero consistency.
It really made the scratch my head, as after checking my bow all was as it should be that end, I went so far as re waxing my string. I just could not work out why.
Today I spoke to Nicky Hunt via Facebook as until recently she was our club president, for some advice, after explaining everything she thinks it?s Down to fatigue as I shot 75% - 100% more arrows than normal so I need to slow down and take it easy until I next shoot and during.
Lesson learned, next time I?ll take more brakes and shoot a bit less when my shoot days will be close together, and I can shoot at my own pace.
