Tuesday 1st September 2009

@ St Pauls,

Clear skies, warm, sunny.

2x 18 arrow ends @ 5m, blank style shooting
12x 6 arrow ends @ 60m, 122cm face, no gold visible
6x 6 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm face, insert added
1x 6 arrow end @ 5m, blank shooting

Total 150 arrows

I had also one shot with a Sebastian Flute 5.99 Fiberbow, with SB Carbon Stabilizers. Very light, well balanced, sounded like a compound bow in the "snap" of the string sound, quiet for a recurve definitely. Pity they are so expensive.

Shooting was varied, worked on having now a more relaxed release, very different to the prior deep hook I had. I'm finding that the release, when it happens is very clean and the arrows leave the bow extremely smoothly. In poor releases, it kicks and spins out quite badly, but thankfully having the X10 and Tungsten points help keep the flight path relatively well. Other than that, I should stop being so stubborn and let down to reset the cycle when I know the shot isn't happening, and or if my bow shoulder is creeping.
