MENTAL TOUGHNESS 

Shooting in bad conditions does help for your mental toughness by learning how to shoot in the cold, wind, and rain. This challenges you and forces your body to adapt then gives your body to recover

ALWAYS SHOOT IN BAD WEATHER? 

Shooting one or half a day in some bad.

weather is fine but shooting in horrific weather for days will not help. This is detrimental to your technique. 

You would be better off shooting some more blank boss

NOT GOOD FOR YOUR OVERALL TECHNIQUE

PINS 

Pin nocks can definitely save your arrow shafts when they get hit, but when they do, these pins can bend and your nock can have a different angle on the string. Make sure you always change your pin if your nock has been hit. Even if the pin looks fine it can be bent. 

FLETCHES 

Have a look at your fletches and make sure there is no wear, tear, bends, and crumples. If they're all good, make sure they are in their proper place and evenly spaced. 

NOCKS 

Your nock is the contact point to your string. Make sure it's not bent and hasn't been hit before. If it has, 

replace it immediately. Also, replace any nocks with cracks. Don't risk shooting with a damaged nock as this can partially dry fire your bow when it fails on your release. Save your bow and regularly replace your nocks. 

YOUR ARROWS SHOULD BE IDENTICAL 

Your arrows are one of the most important parts of your equipment and you want them to be as identical as possible. You can have the best bow but if you have a bad set of arrows, you'll still shoot badly. 

So what should you check on your arrows so they fly as well as possible? 

MAINTAIN YOUR ARROWS 

DON'T LET YOUR THUMB JUST HANG ON THE GRIP 

The whole bow arm is affected when this happens. Not directing with your thumb compromises the bow arm because the 

force of the bow is not nicely going up into the shoulder as the hand will slide around the grip. 

This causes an inconsistent pressure point.
