Saturday 14th May 2011

@ SOPA
Bright, very windy, cold

3x 6 arrow ends @ 90m, 122cm unscored
6x 6 arrow ends @ 90m, 122cm scored
2x 6 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm scored

Total 66

Started to shoot the SOPA 144 arrow round.  I picked the F90 round as practice for Nationals, but with estimated winds speeds upto 50km/hr, it was a ridiculous shoot.  For 90m, I ended up aiming about a foot off the target entirely to the right to be blown across onto the target.  It was amusing to watch the arrows hook left after being launched to the right of the target.  Unfortunately for me, shooting at 70m in the same conditions just wasn't enjoyable and I was feeling that it was causing my form to suffer, so I decided to DNF the event.
