Do the work.
(In Olympic archery with 50# recurve bows, the “work” is an average of 300-450 quality shots a day, six days a week, and a good mental and PT program. For starters.)
Grauffel outlined his training plan on one of the recent podcasts. Two months before a match, 500 rounds a day. Ramping up to a thousand with a month to go, and 2000-2500 rounds per day in the last 15 days before an event.
All live fire.
The hard truth is that 99.95% of the people who think they want these achievements will never put the work in to get there.
