Coaching Clinic

Twelve members attended the coaching clinic on the 29 May Saturday.
Maybe the rain frightened other members away believing it would be wet and cold.
Well they missed a good time, there was a fire raging and keep us warm and toasty.
First up, we shoot while being videoed, so we could visualise our imagery technique.
A video was shown on how to check nocking points , peep sights, tuning your bow and how to calibrate tonxonic sights elevation.
One of the videos showed how the bow, sights and string reacts when the arrow is released. It was a real eye opener on how the arrows bent and twist after it leaves the bow.
The biggest surprise was how the strings, bow and even the sights moved so violently after the arrows released.
Rob had a discussion on, how important it is to warm up with the appropriate exercises before shooting.
We all had such a great time, that no one left the club until 6pm, except for the members who camped over.
