24th October 2006

Wound down my bow from the starting weight
6 full turns out on both limbs
Tiller and brace height still maintained fine
Dropped from 46lb to 41lbs


144 arrows @ 4m blank
  • Worked on rotation of the shoulder, making the rotation over-rotate so that when in not concentration mode, it will still be rotated.
  • Discovered that the rotation meant hitting myself further up on the forearm than before so my arm guard was moved up

72 arrows @ 30m, using a 80cm target face
  • Discovered I still need concentration to keep the bow arm rotation
  • Attempting to control the bow arm drop/bounce (I can hold it up, but if it drops and I yank it back up, it is a bounce.
    • The object is to not let it bounce and to either control the drop to a very slow drop, or not let it drop at all.)
  • In playing with my hand position against my face, I strained my right pectoralis major muscle, indicating obviously not a suitable position.
