One of the goals of our clubs this year is to do a better job of preparing our archers for the demands of archery itself. Part of that preparation is stretching. Stretching prepares the muscles for the demands that are about to be placed on them. Not only should this lower injury rates, but should also help relax the archer and get them into the proper mindset. If stretching and exercises are good enough for our Olympic archers, it’s good enough for us!

I would like to thank the Redruth Archers from the UK for creating this stretching exercises document.

Please take a few minutes before (and after!) shooting. The best injury is the one that doesn’t happen.
