@ Easton Newberry

Outside conditions rainy, slight winds at times otherwise rather calm

12x 6 arrow ends @ 18m, NFAA 5-spot indoor face, unscored

6x 12 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm, unscored

24x 3 arrow ends @ 18m, NFAA indoor face

Total 216

Tried to see if the pre-load draw setup advocated by Coach Bob would work for me.  From my experimentation indoors, it seems to be okay, though I may be muscularly weak to shoot with it properly for now, though perhaps over the next few days I will develop sufficient strength for it.  That said, I was getting quite reasonable groups to my regular shooting at 70m even though the groups were not in the middle.  Using the technique indoors had similar good groups except when I held too long and wasn't able to expand through the clicker sufficiently in time and fudged out the release and execution.  Hopefully my body can keep up with a high arrow shooting volume to see if this will pan out for WOAF.  If thats even still on with the flood worries....
