Join me in a little experiment

I’m not sure if I want to wear a @Red Beard training bra at this time and juncture of my life. To fix posture do 100 push-ups a day build that chest muscle and strengthen your back that way you can shoot the heavy weights and maintain your strength and fa seek. LoL

It realy is that simple.even if you can only do 10 at a time

I have poor posture. Working at a desk for many years only made it worse. So, 4 years ago I attempted to improve it by purchasing a posture correcting back brace. It worked wonderfully. Really helped align my shoulders and back properly. Continued use even helped subdue some chronic sciatic pain. However, sustained use (like many hours 5-6 days per week) became uncomfortable around my arm pit area and I eventually stopped using it. Two days ago I remembered that I had the brace and decided to start using it again. Glad I did because I felt immediate relief.

And now to the point of the post! I normally never do any kind of physical activity while wearing the brace (rightfully so... it's kind of restrictive). Yesterday though, I happened to pick up my bow and fling 3 arrows with it on and I was COMPLETELY surprised at the results. My normal group at 15yds had shrunk to all 3 arrows touching. Thinking this was a fluke, I ran outside and let them fly at 20yds. Those arrows were within 2 inches of each other. With a grin on my face I went back to 20yds and flung them again. Results were comparable and I began to think that I was either totally on my game that day, or the brace had affected my form for the better.

Well today the Prime man delivered a brace that is more comfortable (also wraps around the torso instead of just the shoulders) and so I immediately slapped it on and went to shoot again. Again since I was wowed by the results, thought I'd share the account with yall and see of anyone else has had a similar experience. If you haven't -and are currently experiencing posture issues you'd like address- maybe you'd like to conduct a little experiment with me to see if your groups get better when using a back brace?

Edit: Maybe you don't have posture issues but would like to see if a $20 brace has an impact on your groups... you're welcome to join in as well!

First brace I ever tried...

Did you use both shoulder and waist? The Amazon item listed for $20 seem to only be the shoulder part.

The one I ordered was a shoulder harness that also wrapped around your torso.
