coffee B4 shooting
« on: February 16, 2011, 08:46:00 PM »
How many people cannot drink coffee or caffeine before they shoot?

I seem to only notice it when I have wayyyy too much?

Cheers   :coffee:

I can't do anything before I have at least a half a pot in me. Well maybe two cups but I'm going to have a pot in me before I'm done. Coffeeaholic here.

I got off it for a while (4 years), but then I was introduced to a coffee press at deer camp this past season, and I'm back to a half pot or so a day.  I only drink Kona coffee, just because it tastes just like it smells.

Coffee is a must... Period!   Saturday mornings when I shoot or hunt, coffee starts the day!   I do a lot of woodworking on the weekends and I find the only thing that cures the "coffee jitters" is feeling taut muscles flinging about 5 arrows down range.   In all seriousness, my thoughts calm and my blood pressure lowers when I pull the arrow back...

I shoot equally poorly with or without coffee, but I feel better with my coffee. A coffee press? Sounds like guys who shoot ILF and need to adjust their tiller  :scared:    :saywhat:

The caffeine I'm not sure of never really gave it any thought. The coffee on the other hand.....    :coffee:    :dunno:  . I can't stand the stuff. I drove long haul flatbed for 6 years and would never get coffee at the truck stops. I'm really a Mountain Dew man myself. It always taste bitter to me.  Another thing I really can't handle either is chocolate, it has that bitter taste to me also.

At my last shoot, i was drinking 4 cups of coffee during the wait for the start, another archer saw this and asked why i drank that much of the stuff...."Lets me shoot faster!"   :biglaugh:

If coffee didn't taste so good, then I'd just use an IV bottle and a needle for my two pots a day.
