Most archers spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars chasing better equipment—but what if the biggest improvement isn't in your bow at all?

In this episode of Launch One w/ Mason Springer, I sit down with Christian Williams, founder of Archery Strong, to discuss one of the most overlooked topics in archery: physical performance. We break down why archery truly is a sport, how strength and mobility affect your ability to hold steadier, shoot more consistently, perform under pressure, and even become a better bowhunter.

Christian explains the science behind archery-specific training, nervous system adaptation, core strength, draw weight, endurance, and preparing your body for everything from indoor tournaments to all-day rut hunts. I also share how working with Archery Strong helped me improve my performance and why investing in coaching has given me a much bigger return than buying new equipment. 

If you're serious about becoming a better archer, this conversation could change how you think about training.

In this episode:

  • Why archery is absolutely a sport
