This video provides a general plan for archers to get back into shooting their bow after an extended period of time of not shooting. This plan is geared towards archers with a mild to moderate risk of injury due to age or history of pain and injury.  Archers will start with a low draw weight, arrow volume, and shooting frequency. They will build on these shooting variables to return to the level of shooting that they desire without developing pan or injury.  Check out our recommend warmup: https://youtu.be/ZvxhwDhvkZ0 For more exercises and full training plans, visit www.archerystrong.com Follow us on Instagram: @archery.strong
