Sunday 12th July 2009

@ Sefton
Cool weather, no wind, overcast mostly, some sun late afternoon, right angle floodlight for two ends.

Shot 14x 10 arrow ends @ 8m. 6 ends, break, 6 ends, long gap, 2 ends.

Robin hooded one arrow in end 14 on 9th arrow, decided to stop shooting for the day.

Points:
Since shooting 8m is very close, the sight setting was set quite high at 8 (co-incidence!) with the arrow turnover just at 10m. This means that the draw length is changed slightly. I changed my posture and stance to reflect my previous training and found that I drew through the clicker before I reached a satisfactory anchor point. To compensate, I moved the clicker back two notches on the clicker plate back to a distance where I needed to work to move the arrow through the clicker.

Changing my posture assisted in better draw and tension. My bow arm didn't feel like it was collapsing as much today, though I think I was not rotating my bow arm very much at all. A deep hook on the release fingers assisted in engaging in a better draw and release. Right shoulder is slightly sore, bow shoulder deltoid is slightly sore.
