I know we’ve sort of covered this before but I wanted to share a frustration with you all and garner opinions.
We’ve recently get three new barebow archers in the club, all newbies from a beginners course.
At first the coaches, who did a level one course, were trying to persuade them to go freestyle.
Now one of the coaches has decided, having “done some research” he’s now an “expert” in barebow despite never having shot his bow without all the freestyle gubbins.
He’s giving totally crap advice to the barebow newbies.
Now, I have not done a coaching course but was taught by experienced archers and a level 2 coach and have been shooting barebow for seven years. The newbies are asking me questions about kit and tuning, string and face walking etc but this “coach” keeps interrupting and filling their heads with BS.
What’s the best way forward?
All thoughts welcome.
