do you guys do anything to breath differnt when you shoot.
I saw a show where a guy told a sniper to breath out deep breaths then slow down when he is ready to shoot.
Would this help with bow shooting
I inhale long and slow for about 4 sec, hold for about 4 sec, exhale slowly for about 4 sec...repeat. I never hold my breath. It helps me to remain steady.
So you hold your breath for 4 seconds without holding your breath?
My bad...wanted to say I don't hold my breath (the same gasping breath taken to go under water) to take a shot. This method just slows down my breathing and helps me relax to take the shot.
