Currently, 10/23/06, we are teaching the BEST Method. (Biomechanically Efficient Shooting Technique) The first document is a list of the steps found here. The BEST Method document was updated on 4/3/2007 to reflect Coach Lee's new ideas.

Strength is needed to control your body while you are shooting. The best and easiest form of exercise is to use your bow to strengthen your body. There is a series of exercises called “SPT” or Specified Physical Training to help your archery muscles get stronger. After you have been taught the exercises by a coach, please use the SPT document to remind yourself of these exercises.
If you would like to contact Ace Archers, please see the contact page for our email, mailing address, and phone numbers. We are always ready to help everyone start or advance in the sport of target archery.
