Mental stamina
« on: June 24, 2013, 12:28:00 AM »
I have no trouble pulling my bow back all day.  My issue occurs 25 targets into a 3D shoot when I just can't mentally focus as well.  What do you do to build mental stamina for all day events.

The shoots I do are 2 rounds of 20 targets.  I like to take a break before starting the second round, grab a drink and a bite to eat, use the toilet, etc.  Seems to help, especially in the summer when it's hot.

Do you shoot 3-D alone? or with friends???

I honestly find alittle "comic relief" goes along way!!!!!

Much like hunting... you're sitting there doing/thinking about "whatever"..... along comes a deer, now it's "crunch time"... Time to get SERIOUS!!!!!

I usualy shoot with 1 or both of my boys. Between the 2 of them, I practicaly pi$$ myself between targets!!! When it's time to shoot, I need to "knuckledown"!!!!! Cuz, if they beat me... (and they usualy do!) I'll hear about it for days!!!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!
