  1. STRENGTH & STABILITY STRENGTH & STABILITY STRENGTH & STABILITY EXERCISES EXERCISES EXERCISES INFOGRAPHIC DESIGNED & BROUGHT TO YOU BY BossTargets.com forBOW SHOOTING forBOW SHOOTING BOW SHOOTING for After a day at the shooting range with a few buddies, I realized my shots getting sloppier as the day went on. My arms and shoulders became slightly numb over the course of just a few shots. The strings on my bow are relatively new but, I didn’t have the necessary upper body strength to hold the bow stable enough before I take the shot. I realized that body stability together with hand/eye coordination are a few of the deciding factors that go into the perfect shot. A few days after, I told my sister about what I realized and she recommended that I come with her to the gym and consult a trainer about body strengthening and stability. I took her advice and the trainer really helped, and it was because I had a clear reason for why I wanted to get better! I learned that there are muscles in the body that work together to make a straight and more stable shot for archery. Here are a few exercises you can do to improve your balance, stability and strength for a perfect shot on a bow and arrow. Dumbbell Lunges Affected muscle groups for this exercise Serratus Posterior Inferior Hand Abductors Gluteus Biceps Femoris Rectus Femoris The dumbbell lunge is a variation of the farmers walk exercise. Instead of walking on a straight line with dumbells on both hands, you will be kneeling on one leg as you maintain balance. It strengthens the legs and improves posture when shooting your bow. The dumbbells strengthen the muscles in your hand as you use it to keep yourself in upright position. 1 Bring your chin up and your eyes focused forward. Shoulder blades closed and shoulders parallel to your knees. Hold the dumbbells in both hands with the thumbs pointed forwards by your sides. Bring your chin up and your eyes forward. Keep your shoulder blades closed and your abdominals engaged. Position your feet apart square under your shoulders. Keep abdominals engaged while maintaining a straight back. Bring your chin up and your eyes focused forward. 2 Shoulder blades closed and shoulders parallel to your knees. Make a large step forward with a straight back, keeping your balance. Pause and keep yourself balanced by strengthening your hips and your glutes. Keep abdominals engaged while maintaining a straight back. Bring your chin up and your eyes focused forward. 3 Pelvic to foot length Shoulder blades closed and shoulders parallel to your knees. Slowly bend the opposite knee towards the floor without touching it. Both your knees should be at a 90º angle. Keep yourself upright while maintaining a straight back.
