Tuning The Archer Book By Christine Nichols

The Exercise Manual for Coaches and Archers

The aim of this book is to offer a range of exercises to help coaches work with their archers, and for archers of all abilities to improve their archery fitness and technique. Included are exercises you can do at home or at the range, (no need to go to the gym for any of them) primarily using just your own body or stretch bands and are aimed at the person behind the bow, not the bow itself.

It is for all those archers who wish to improve their form, strength and technique. Included is information on the back and shoulder assembly and how to try maintain them in a healthy condition.The basics of each bow discipline such as recurve, longbow, barebow and compound are the same and this book is aimed at Tuning the Archer rather than the bow so is suitable for archers of all bow types.

 

This manual is aimed at all levels of archer, from the complete beginner to experienced competitors and those coming back to the sport after a break or injury and who wish to improve their technique, strength and shot.

 

About The Author:

Christine is an archer and archery coach, always interested in learning, and teaching, more about this often under-rated sport where you are always challenging yourself.

It is one of the few sports that caters for any age, from children who strong and disciplined enough to safely use a bow, and often dreaming of getting to the olympics, to those in their eighties or even nineties who enjoy the physical side of keeping active and the social side of being with other people.

Tuning the Archer is her first book, born out of the love of the sport and initially intended as a project for her Level 3 coaching course but it grew, and grew and eventually developed into her first book which is intended to provide help and infomation to archers of all ages and abilites to help them learn more about their bodies and how to use them to become more consistent and proficient archers.
