Here is a tip I was just reading in field and stream. for how to "stay bow buff" the article read something close to this:

To keep in bowhunting shape through the off season run one end of a rope through a set of weights weighing slightly less than your draw weight (You can add more later) Using a large washer as a stop tie off the rope. Run the other end over a lifting bar set at chest height (fulcrum in the picture) With your bow hand on the bar pull the rope toward your face with your string hand, stopping below your chin hold for 10 seconds let down and repeat do three sets of 10-20 reps three times a week.


That's pretty much how it read I figured I'd share because I've been looking for a good way to do this.

Hope this helps.

Ryan.

P.s. this drawing is a real piece of work.
