Sunday 1st May 2011

@ SOPA
Bright and sunny with brief overcast at times, medium wind periods but not many, beautiful day.

5x 6 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm warmup
F70/720 QRE

Total 102

Shot the first QRE for May today, in much better conditions than yesterday.  I was hoping for better scores and after the first session, I was down a bit with only a 285 (cf 288 yesterday), so it was going well enough.  In the second half however things were going a little strange in I was shooting a poor end, good end, poor end and so forth, and in the 5th end I was at 240, where my shooting lane partner said I needed a 60 and I'd get the 300.  Well I certainly gave it a good go at it and finished off with a 57.  I was pretty happy with that.  What it does tell me though is I really can shoot those scores if I can just make my consistency better from end to end, and not just between each arrow.

In the process today though, I must remember to extend my bow arm and lock it down before the draw, and ensure adequate lean forwards to accentuate the feel of the shoulders when in use.
