(Archery) What is the best way to strengthen/train your non-shooting arm?
Hi, I am just getting into archery, and I am thinking a little bit ahead.
Even if a bow is supposedly left or right handed, can I use it for both hands so I can train to be an ambidextrous shooter?
Should I buy a cheaper bow to train my other arm?
I hear about how some bowmen are very disjointed because one arm is strong and the other is very weak, are there any techniques/exercises that can strengthen your non-releasing arm (besides bicep curls, of course)?
Well, when you do it right, you really shouldn’t be using the biceps. You will use your triceps on your bow arm, but the drawing arm should be completely relaxed when shooting.
I do train my biceps just with curls, but not for archery. I do pushups to train my triceps and shoulders.
You can buy another bow, and I do know a few people who does that, to even out the development of their shoulders and back. They would usually do a different style on the off side though. So this one guy does olympic style archery left handed and traditional style right handed. Another does Kyudo right handed(no choice there) and olympic style left handed.
Or you can just buy one of those heavy therabands.

Questions about archery manual release Allen … Help?
10 years ago, I used to shoot with my bow this Communiqué No. 55, now that I'm, of course, I made # 70, and I wonder if anyone knows if this particular version can handle the heavy bow.
Should be fine, never heard about a problem with versions by changing the weight in pounds arc.
