The shakes

[Bill Kissner]

One of the best shooters I have ever known shot a 36 pound Pearson Lord Mercury at our NFAA shoots. This fella was huge, well over 250 pounds and shook so bad it was unbelievable. He was the best shot in our whole league by far though.

Yep, I have it too.  Kind of embarrassing and seems to be worse with light bows.  I do shoot with a slightly bent bow elbow which may be part of the cause.

I usually get the shakes just after watching one of my arrows zip thru a critter! It's really bad when its cold outside!

muscle shake can be from dehydration..even slight dehydration....try drinking more water and eating well....I don't have it  99 percent of the time but the very odd day I do and found I ate poorly and especially have not drank enough water...just a thought...muscles need the right biochemestry to work smoothly..give it a try ..let me know if it works....

I was told that high fructose corn syrup is a powerful strength REDUCER, as in Coke and Mountain Dew, plus you can get your blood loaded up with excess triglycerides.  Then your doctor will say you need Gemfibrazal or something like that, which will eat up your muscle fiber. They made me take a blood test, I told them about the liter of RC cola, you bet I got a prescription. Took the garbage for 10 days and I could not shoot my heavy bow.  Found out the stuff tears down muscles, my heart is muscle, threw it all away. Talked to another doc about them moving up the blood test and telling them about the cola I drank, he said one word that said it all, 'idiots'. My blood work was perfect, but I shook bad when the blood drugs were in my system.
