MARC DELLENBACH'S REVERSALS

To perform the exercises, you should assign yourself to one of the three categories:

1. Beginners

2. Experienced

3. Experts

Beginners start with 5 reversals x 5 seconds. Experienced archers, go for 8 x 8 seconds. Experts, 10 x 10 second. Take a 20 second pause between each execution.

EXERCISE 1

Keep your bow arm position strong. Goal: to strengthen the muscles of the bow arm

Method: Take the shooting position and keep the arm in position, without drawing for several seconds

In exercise 1, note the T position with the deep shoulders. The T position corresponds to the natural shoulder position and can be more easily reproduced. This is how you work with bone and joint lines when shooting and relieves the muscles involved in the holding work. Remember that bones don't get tired even with high numbers of arrows, but muscles do.

EXERCISE 2

Keep your drawing position

Goal: Strengthen the muscles of both the bow arm and the draw arm Method: Take the shooting position and keep both arms in position for several seconds at full draw and keep the position.

Optimal execution is preferable to a high number of repetitions. Quality is more important than draw weight here.
