Warm, somewhat humid after rain periods, breezes at times.
Assorted ends at a variety of distances ranging from 5m blank to 90m, totalling 240 arrows.
Worked on shooting form some today early on before the serving on the 20 strange Majesty broke on the top loop serving, so switched over to a 1825 20 strand string that Coach Turner made. After shooting it in quickly with virtually no stretch, we did some tuning checks by shooting bareshaft and fletched shafts at 18m and 25m. A few nocking point changes were made as the group was pretty good. We went outside and put down six ends at 70m, where I clocked in a 305, which was really great since the third end was a 42, otherwise it could have been around a 310.
After this, I shot some more alone to see if I could get my timing and expansion by myself without Coach Turner watching but it didn't go as well, possibly because I did do 140 arrows by then so was already somewhat tired. After that, I got some 90m and 50m settings set in before packing up for the day.
Confidence in the shot and mindset is really important for me. I need to know that I have a very good setup, and be smooth in my action to a strong anchor and bow arm, that will allow me to maintain consistent strong finger tension, that will translate to good transfer and release action. I need to just set into that very consistently, and ensure that I don't cant my shots to the left too.
