Who here has a pre-shooting session warmup routine? Another back injury has had me stretching out good before I shoot this week. Got me thinking I should be doing this all the time.
Good reminder. After two rotator surgeries (one each side) warms ups have got to be a good idea. Need to keep one of those stretch banks that the therapy guys give you with my stuff.
I did not warm up this am before shooting my Pronghorn and felt it in my shoulder.
I have been practising yoga- and basic stretches are a very good thing to do.
yep...before and after I shoot: toe touches, trunk twists and front and rear arm rotations.
i do 4 differant stretches before i decide to shoot my heavy bows
1 "wake up stretch"- this is just where you stand on you toes and reach for the sky stretching your entire body
2- shoulder- i act like im going to draw a bow and i work on pulling my shoulders together and then when im at "fulldraw" i drop my elbow and squeeze together for a 5 count
3- more shoulder stretches- reach across grab elbow and pull across chest trying to touch other elbow
4 wrist/fingers- i roll my wrist and then i take my fingers and push them apart, same stretch i use for guitar warmup haha
I warm up after about ten shots - ha!
