Tuesday 9th August 2011

@ Thunderheads
Warm, no wind, clear skies

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

Total 72.

Practice day for field.  Registered for the event, paid and picked up registration package and had equipment inspected.  Decided to not stand around to shoot the field course, which is very strange to me since no other place that I have ever shot field round lets you practice on the actual course to compete on during practice.  Seriously, wtf Canada.  Also, their scorecards do not contain boxes for 5+6s and 6s.  Rather, officials will do countback if there is a score tie.  So, I decided to shoot some 90m and 70m practice, and finished up with a 244 and 288 for a 532, not fantastic, but my last two ends for both 90m and 70m were where they should have been.

Just have to be aware of, finger pressure, bow cant, and confident execution.  I had some video assistance that was good in showing my clicker position was right on where it needed to be, so I should be more confident in knowing I don't have massive amounts to get through for the shot.

Tomorrow, will be the field championships, and regardless of how I shoot, I have a feeling I will place well.
