Tuesday 22nd September 2009

@ St Pauls
Hot, gusty winds, dark clouds late in the session.

12x 12 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm face no scoring.

Total 144.

Today, having not shot for a week, I did some 70m with some of the seniors in the club. It was a challenging environment because the wind was being quite gusty at times with no semblance of constant direction or strength.

While I had some poor shots, overall in shooting 12 arrow ends, I was quite satisfied with the results. I was finding that about 1/3-1/4 of the arrows were staying within the gold while the rest were in the red, with perhaps 1 or 2 in the blue. This is quite a good result I feel, especially since if I count that the furthermost outlying arrows were when I was tired at the end, then the better ones in the middle could be more repeatable.

I also found that I have to pay more attention to how I use my right and drawing shoulder when locking down at full draw before expanding, as it changes the quality of my alignment and release drastically.
