Hey Ray.....how was the great outdoors last season? I hope your doing ok!
Good question about balance. No video yet but here are a few tricks to try. Are you falling towards the target or forward from your seat?
A chest strap works good for both but some feel to confined. Depending on shooting conditions you could use a small block of wood under the left side, front tire (for a right handed
archer). Try tilting or reclining a bit back. Try a brace with a pad on top between the left armrest and your side that stands upright. It should almost act like a crutch but going from
below the armpit down to the cusion. You can use it for support until you build up strength. Regular wheelchair side support pads work great to if you have them.
Thera-bands come in different sizes (strengths) and loops can be tied on the ends to simulate drawing a bow. Great for overall stretching, strength and circulation.
What kind of equipment are you using? Bow, arrows, release ect.......Draw lenth, poundage and technique adjustments can increase stability as well. Any pics?
Practicing at 15-20ft on higher targets (just above your shoulder height) will help some to. Dont worry about distance here. The short drills are for shot routine, strength and confidence.
