Why 3D Shooters Should Consider Indoor Archery

Posted by Richard Bowen on Jul 16, 2020 11:08:41 AM

When I first started shooting at 3D targets several years ago, my main goal was to get better at shooting a deer during bow season.

Indoor nationals is a more unique tournament just because the arrow count is higher than the typical indoor shoots that use a Vegas target, you’re shooting five arrows at a time and a minimum of 60 arrows if you do not warm up. Here are just a few ways that I like to prepare for this tournament!

A big thing that hurts a lot of people is shooting in the wind, whether it’s their backyard or they are on a big stage at a World Cup shooting for Gold.

Echelon Draw Stops vs. Cable Stops

Posted by Brandon Bennett on Jan 4, 2019 8:55:00 AM

While working in the archery shop and shooting tournaments, one of the most frequently asked questions I am asked is what draw stops I am using and why. Currently I am shooting the Elite Echelon 39.

The draw stops on Echelon allow each archer to mold the bow into your own shot style.

I can personally tell you that I shot more than I ever have this past season, but it turned out to be the longest and worst year that I have had as a pro. Due to this, it was an extremely mentally draining year and my confidence suffered. Notice that I said that I shot more and not that I practiced more. There is a HUGE difference between shooting and practicing. Your mental game isn’t only something that you use in tournaments; it is also something that you use in practice.
