When I first started Archery at the club I am a member of. I started on a 15 lb bow and then gradually went up the poundage of the club bows. Their max was a 32 lb draw weight. The first bow I bought was a 36 lb, second was a 40 lb. So I strongly agree at starting light and building up.
Hi there Nusensei. It's been quite a while since this video was posted but I have to say that I don't particularly like asiatic bows, but that mariner is absolutely exquisite. Thank you for sharing
As long as you can reach a solid, consistent anchor with the bow, you _can_ train your muscles to get stronger. Draw to your anchor, hold for ten seconds, then let down slow and wait ten seconds before doing it again. 10-20 reps a day, every single day, increasing the number of reps every day by 1, and holding for 10 more seconds each day, for 30 days. When you can comfortably hold that bow at full draw for 5 minutes at least 5 times, you're done. Put an arrow on and start shooting. It worked for me when I was rehabilitating a torn rotator cuff, and it's working for me while I learn to shoot ambidextrously.
When I went to the store, I got to test a 50# bow and it felt really stiff, however, I knew I could handle something a little lighter so I ordered a 40# flatbow and I don't regret it one bit. While it still took several weeks of getting used to it and finding the right position, I am now confident in my ability to consistently produce decent groupings.
Resistance bands work great for this. Hold one handle in your bow hand, make a short loop with the band and also hold on to that with bow hand under your palm, pull back on the loop with draw hand. Add it to your upper body workout routine. Three sets of twenty. Works a charm.
Triceps have nothing to do with drawing a bow on the draw arm. It’s action is extension of the forearm. Even in letting down a draw is done by an eccentric action of the biceps, rhomboid, and middle trapezius. Lots of fitness trainers don’t understand eccentric contractions. The triceps is in activation on the bow arm.
Have to agree. If I'm going to put in the effort to draw a bow, I want to loose an arrow from it and hit gold. What's the point in a half-draw with a floating anchor where you're not going to shoot accurately or precisely? You might as well just do dumbbell exercises (or use the trainer he shows at the end).
I talk on this a bit in my Target Panic, the Orange Cone, and the Stop Shot Training Process video. The stop shot process engages all the muscles in an appropriate fashion while visualizing success. Archery is so awesomely fun. Enjoy!
Sounds like the idea of a weight lifter who can only lift 100 kg, but wants to be able to lift 200 kg... so he puts 200 kg on the barbell and keeps doing crappy attempts at doing a partial lift. __________ Btw. even with a single resistance band, you can adjust the draw weight just by choosing where/how you hold it.
Can someone tell me if archery is a way to improve the strength of your triceps and you biceps and your back muscles without destroying the bow? So what I mean is can you practice with drawing a bow (without an arrow) and will this in time improve the strength of some of the upper body muscles?
you wanna build up your biceps by doing full arm curls with lower weight and gradually increase it as your strength improve and not doing half arm curls with too much weight because chances are you will injure the muscles instead.
Should be possible in theory to do negative reps to build up your strength, like when you can't do a single pull up. But you'd need some sort of machine to draw and safely let off for you. So in the end just use a lower weight lol
yes , the muscles develop power when expanding as well , lf you let down a bicep curls slowly your muscles will fight gravity or your tendons will just snap ,en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill%27s_muscle_model
My Gods.... Such a new concept..... That has been the standard in youth camps in Cali since the 1970s..... And you are getting around to this in 2/19? (Sexy bow BTW)
That bow is absolutly beautiful!

With your knowledge , are you able to design your own bow? A custom NUSensei bow would be awesome.
Why? There are plenty of perfectly-serviceable bows out there without random tinkering for the sake of tinkering.
makes perfect sense, agree 100% (nice bow btw)
Thank you so much! That’s a very helpful video! 😊👍

Rowing is good too, either on a machine or bent over dumbell rows on a bench.
Gorgeous bow, congrats. My new bow just arrived and I am moving up 10 lbs, so your timing is Heroic.
I was literally about to start doing this half rep bs today with a 70lb ben Pierson longbow..Im glad I saw this video.
Beautiful, beautiful bow!
Pick-a-bow
Sounds like a fun game for an archer to play with his/her toddler.

NUSensei, can you do a video on arrow FOC? Your thoughts on it etc

What is the name of that bow trainer you were showing? I like that style a lot more than the one with the look at like bow set up one.
Surprisingly, it's called the "Bow Trainer".

I agree. An alternative method, begin with one full draw per day for a week and increase to 2 draws a day etc.
Man that bow looks straight out of a lotr movie! Also very jealous of the weather over there.

Hi NUSensei where can I purchase the Marina Ming Bow ?
Beautiful in full hd

What is one hell of a bow
Can you make a video whenever you can shoot a wooden arrow from a compound bow? If not, can you make your own arrows made of aluminum?
Short answer is no. Compound bows transfer too much energy for a wooden shaft, and is likely to cause the shaft to splinter.
Bicep not tricep, right?
you are exactly correct, biceps contract the arm, triceps extend it, drawing a bow is a pull action hence back and biceps. Glad someone else noticed
you wanna build up your biceps by doing full arm curls with lower weight and gradually increase it as your strength improve and not doing half arm curls with too much weight because chances are you will injure the muscles instead.
Can i send you a bow and send me ykur thoughts on it?
Which one is it? The Moon 1, 3, 4 or 5? Personally I'd love the Moon 6 takedown version but $620 is a very noticable amount to spend.
This one is the Moon 4. It's a pricy bow, but I was fortunate to get a discount on it.
Damn fine bow.
If you had a 33" bow you could use it like a yumi 😁
For endurance and form it's a bad idea. But it's great for training your fingers.
Will you ever return to war thunder?

To be fair, you'd get stronger at half reps.
You could've shot that bow in this video. Looks good and I was hoping to see it in action!
He clearly said you wouldn't and explained why. Rewatch the video please.
So, what I am hearing is, training with half draws is the X-fit of atchery.
Atchery.
My Gods.... Such a new concept..... That has been the standard in youth camps in Cali since the 1970s..... And you are getting around to this in 2/19? (Sexy bow BTW)
huh... in a glimpse, that bow looks like made out of fiber glass
Handmade wood bow with fibreglass layer.
You saw a close up of it and it was clearly wooden layers.
@@incorporeal3793 which makes it a composite bow (wood and fibreglass layers).
Im early😂😂
U talk 2ooooooooo much scheiße.
