23rd January 2007

A hot day with occasional gusts, clear with no clouds.

Used the session to get sight settings for 20m, 30m, 40m, 50m, 60m 70m and trialled 90m settings. This was due to rotation of my nocks 180 degrees.

108 arrows @ 20m-60m
36 arrows @ 70m
24 arrows @ 90m

20-40m was easy to shoot
  • Comfortable, sequence routine worked perfectly fine

50-60m was slightly more difficult to shoot
  • Timing did not work so well
  • Thinking too long to execute the shot
  • Plucking the release
  • Possibly poor alightment issues as the arrows were travelling right

70m was ok to shoot
  • Mostly good ends, only 2 arrows were outside the 7 ring
  • ~51 per end average
  • Breathing sequence and timing worked well
  • Needed to still remind self to relax

90m was awful to shoot
  • Possibly too tired in the heat
  • Total scattering, no real group happened
  • Very poor execution in the shot release
  • Sequence worked until the hold phase and then it goes all to bits.
  • Tried to set sight settings but the poor shooting did not facilitate adequate groups to determine if the setting was suitable

My shoulders were ok, but the subscapularis was aching
Possibly due to being engaged heavier than before with the holding and push phases slightly different and waiting for shot execution.
