How To Use
The Bowfit Archery Exerciser is simple to use--In fact, if you can tie your shoe, you can use the Bowfit. As they say, a picture is worth a thousands words so we will keep it brief.
The Bowfit consists of a single strand of tubing with a foam handgrip and a nylon webbing wrist strap.
|
Used as a single strand, you can do simple warmup stretches as well as upper body strengthening exercises. |
|
|
You can also warmup the muscles prior to shooting using the single strand bow drawing stretch. |
To increase the resistance of the Bowfit, simply place the end of the tubing through the brass hole (grommet) on the nylon webbing. |
This creates a loop. Shorten the loop to create more draw weight.
|
Grip the excess tubing with your hand to keep it from slipping through the grommet.
|
Now, simply pull back to full draw and hold.(important: Do Not shorten the loop less than 8 inches before drawing - this will over stess the tube.) |
You can use a triple loop to add even more resistance.
|
Simply, grip the excess tubing in your foam-grip hand. This now allows you to pull 3 lengths of tube. |
| |
 |
The Bowfit Archery Exerciser is versatile in that you can use it either as a release-aid draw or traditional finger-style draw. |
Take the Bowfit Archery Exerciser with you wherever you go. It is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, fanny pack or glove box for use anywhere. STAY IN ARCHERY SHAPE YEAR ROUND WITH THE BOWFIT ARCHERY EXERCISER!!
HELPFUL HINTS
- Professional archer, Randy Ulmer stated in a recent bowhunting publication: " One key tenet of injury prevention in all sports is proper warmup, and archery is no different from any other sport ( except that very few people warm up before they shoot a bow). One of the best ways to prevent athletic injury is to prepare muscles, tendons and ligaments for the stress of the sport--before you begin......Dwight Schuh introduced me to a rubber device called the Bowfit that works very well for this purpose."
- Bowfit is perfect to use as a warm up tool. The resistance can be easily adjusted and it works the same muscles used in pulling back a bow. We recommend drawing back on light resistance and hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this motion 10 times before shooting. Bowfit is small and compact enough to warmup and keep muscles loose while sitting long hours in the treestand.
- Use Bowfit to build "specific" shooting muscles for drawing your bow. Practice drawing and holding the Bowfit from the many different shooting positions and angles you might encounter while bowhunting.
- To simulate extra weight in your bow hand, hold a dumbbell, handweight, iron or even your own bow while pulling on the Bowfit. This will train the exact muscles used in drawing and holding a bow.
