@ St Paul's College Oval
Light winds, sunny periods, with overcast periods and light drizzle rain at times. Cold weather ~16°C
6 ends @ 70m/122cm, first two ends dropping low, lost one arrow into the ground, couldn't find it with the metal detector, most unhappy.
3 ends @ 90m/122cm, shotgun shooting, multiple arrows missing low, one striking target frame.
2 ends @ 50m/122cm, group size in the blue, not particularly good.
8 ends @ 30m/80cm, scored 6 ends + 2 ends afterwards. 311 with two ends of 46.
Total 19 ends, so less than a FITA. However, all except the 50m and 30m ends were shot with 8 arrow ends, where the 50m and 30m where with 6 arrow ends.
Issues:
Bow arm is still very weak. First two arrows strong, third is okay, the remainder is difficult without bow arm collapse happening. Backtension engagement is considerably easier if the bowarm is not collapsing, and can be engaged well on first shot of each end. The release is still to be fixed up, but remembering to grip deeply is assisting in better draw through the clicker. It is hard to focus on the release when struggling to keep the bow arm from collapse. My setup is returning slightly after I read through my previous training journal. I need to start to count arrows again I think to keep track and help get some goalsets.
I purchased some shelving yesterday that I will set up for my target at home since the current setup is soon to be dismantled. Then it will allow for some shooting at home when the weather is better on days off etc.
While I hate being so weak, it does feel good to be shooting again, to some degree.
