Archery Lessons, arrgghh...

[Chris]

Well, like everyone else, I struggle at times with archery too. So what do you do when you have reached a plateau and can't get any better.

You get help for people from good coaches. Well, I have gotten my first lesson from John Dudley. He didn't change much but he changed my back tension technique. You talk about hard. When you have done it for so long a certain way it is tough to change.

Well, tonight it finally started to come together. I finally felt like I was shooting decent. I have to shoot my first field league score this weekend and we'll see what happens.

I'll be using my new technique and a new Bowtech Commander so we will see what happens.

Good luck Chris...
and yes habits are hard to change, you spend so much time trying to make things second nature they get hard to change...

Hope it works out chris.
Them back tension releases can be tricky!
Good Luck!

Glad to hear you too have problems sometimes. Why use that nasty Bowtech when you have a nice A7 there?????

My archery shop guy is talking about lessons too. Maybe cuz I keep beating him . Let me know if lessons are worth it. I am too thinking about some. Good Luck!!

If your beating your shop guy. I'd go to another one to get lessons. LOL
I've been working on my leg and abs for stability. If you want to hold dead steady on a target. Leg and ab muscles are the ones you want to work on.
and shoot at 10 yards every night working on from in a mirror w/ a camcorder.You can really pic at your own form and things you might be doing wrong after you watch the tape over again. If you dont have a good coach around. I've been to a few shooter schools and found this helps about as much. As long as you know what you are looking for.

That's one of the perks of this job. I get to try lots of equipment.

You lucky dawg you. Be sure to let us know how things go for ya.

You bet I will. It's my first round of the year so I don't expect much. It's shooting very well at 20 yards though.
