How much do you practice?

<< < (5/5)

Hawkdancer:
I agree with Greg's advice on training, don't over do it - pain is a warning sign!  A bit of strain or effort is ok.  "No pain, no gain" is bs.  Make your practice quality, warm up a bit with a few draws, and quit when you start getting tired, so you can hunt when you are tired.  As we get further from 21, we need to use more caution in how hard we practice and train, because the injury snake can trip you up at any time.  Shoot straight, shoot well, and have fun - when it ain't fun anymore, do something else!

Thanks to all who replied. I talked to my chiropractor about my problem and he said that I had a muscle imbalance; doing a lot of things with my right side of my body and not enough with my left side of my body. He suggested to start pulling my bow with my left arm every day that I practice with my bow to help my left side of body to catch up and he said in regards to shooting and exercise to shoot fewer arrows on days I exercise and shoot my bow until my body gets used to it. So far his advice has worked and I actually feel stronger now that I'm pulling with my left arm too.

Thanks,

Aaron
