When it comes to practicing your archery skills, there are all the normal things people do. However, there is more to is than the time spent on the range. There is all the things you do outside the actual sport that can affect you during tournaments or events.
First, you have nutrition and exercise. The concentration that archery requires is intense. While the strength demands for the actual archery shooting don’t require great strength, the stronger you are the better and more still you can be. So make sure you have effective exercise routines and a schedule to follow. Your nutrition is also a very big deal.
Second, you must get enough sleep. This goes with all athletes no matter what sport you do. Getting a good sleep is about a consistent schedule. Making sure you don’t have any light in your room. Using the right bedding materials like luxury bedding such as silk or bamboo.
Finally, the key to making these work for you is consistency. You can’t do them just every now and again, you must do them all the time. With consistency, you get a good payback that really works for you.
Add your typical practice together and you will be very skilled.

Here is another video taken in Michigan shooting my new Russian Siaga 7.62X39, Marlin 45-70, BPS 10 Gauge and Ruger 10/22. It was my first time shooting the Siaga and the 10/22. Both preformed well with the Siaga only having one malfunction. I was a little bit cold with a little less wind than my last video. As always I was wearing my ear protection. As unsafe as it is I can’t stand to wear shooting glasses. It is time however for a new set of ear protection. I’m looking into a better pair as my ears are still ringing.
