The Canberra round was a bit mixed in results, not particularly the most consistent of shooting. In attempt to continue the action I mentioned in the prior post, I was unfortunately unable to, and thus did not seem to shoot as well as I may have had I been able to use that particular technique. Overall I was satisfied enough with the score since my previously recorded score was a 740. My 50m score however could have been a few points better as I scored a 52 in one end with a 2 with a flinched and resulting slipped letdown. Unfortunate but thats the way it is.
My sight settings seemed a bit lower today, may have been light conditions related or just bad technique.

@ St Pauls
Sunny, slight breeze, very warm.
12x 6 arrow ends @ 60m, 122cm, no scoring.
Total 72
Tried to work on more fundamental basics, worked well towards the end, had good group sizes within the 8 ring or smaller.
Found that could maintain better position by using a slight Kyuudou style draw during the pre-draw setup stage. Re-engaged a deeper firm hook as with before (going back to basics) to stop random peeling releases and this seemed to help a lot.
Will have to see how it goes on Sunday.

Sunny, gusts, some clouds, warm.
2x 6 arrow ends @ 60m 122 warmup
3x 30 arrows, 6 arrow ends @ 60m 122cm.
Total 102 arrows.
Scored 222, 227 and 229.
Was pretty ordinary shooting for most part. Worst end was a 34, best end a 52.
Tried to maintain good tension, wasn't really able to do so. Was okay in bow arm position though, feeling a lot better these days with the bow arm though when tension loss is ooccuring it is hard to not tense up on the bow hand.

Clear day, sunny, not really any wind.
12x 6 arrow ends @ 60m, 122cm face, no scoring.
Total 72.
Mixture of good and poor ends, was having difficulty in remaining relaxed and causing release problems. When fully relaxed, shot cycle made it through very easy and clean releases.
Must put some attention into string alignment also as was causing right hand deviations consistently at times but may be related to off-centered aim through the open ring, hard to fully determine.

Nice weather, a little gusty, bright with some cloud at times.
2x 6 arrow @ 60m warmup
Canberra round
60m: 233
50m: 240
40m: 267
Total: 740, for a rating of 63.
Total arrows shot 102.
The score probably could have been a little better, closer to 770, but the last two ends for each distance (with the exception of being the first and last ends for 60m) were lower than the others significantly. Concentration and slowing down the cycle to ensure sufficient rest time, along with letting down when the setup is incorrect needs to be done better.
Tried to focus on bow arm today, was 'reaching' out towards the target with the arm, and it was seemingly working in assisting expansion through the clicker when using the back correctly. It also assisted in guiding more of a 'forward' than sideways movement of the bow upon release action.
