Beautiful late afternoon sunshine at the field and so peaceful (there IS sound on the video, just not much to hear!!). On top of that, very pleased with how I shot. Didn't have time for a full round (12 ends of 6 arrows) but average score per end was much better than I've been aiming for. #archery
Sunglasses and t-shirt on the field today!! Only slight improvement over last round scored (447 compared to 434) but generally felt I shot more consistently overall. #archery #archerysky
Back up to 60m and setting myself the goal of shooting 2nd class bowman scores consistently by the end of the year. 434 today (need 487 for 2nd class), so plenty of work to do! #archery #archerysky
Bit of wet weather archery today! #archery
Today felt like the shooting's getting back on track. Nothing amazing but bit more consistent than it has been lately. #archery #archerysky
Unexpectedly, rain held off so managed to get down to the field and work on my 'shooting left' issue. Bit of fiddling with the plunger and seems to be sorted now (hopefully) #archery
Been a frustrating couple of sessions as all shots were going left. Spent today checking equipment and technique and it was only when I focused on head position that things improved!
Not aware of any major changes to my head size/shape lately but at least now got something to focus on!! #archery
Blimey! That's an amazing achievement(s)! Congrats!
Some days it's important to forget about all the sh*t going on in the world and just do the things you enjoy most. Today being one of those days! #archery
New Year's shoot questions answered.
Yes, it was freezing.
No, I couldn't feel my fingertips.
Yes, I must be stupid.
Yes, I had a great time! #archery
That difficult decision of what to read next especially after Santa has been so kind! #booksky
Glad to get down to the archery field...until my arrow rest broke! ๐ฅ #archery #archerysky
Saw such an improvement today when focusing on my grip (or rather NOT gripping the bow). #archery #archerysky
My copy's arrived! (Dog not included)
Absolutely buzzin' after today's session of 12 ends at 50m !! SO happy with how I shot! Confidence has well and truly returned (although predicting an awful session next week now!!) #archerysky #archery
Already chosen my new wallpaper!
New riser, arrow rest and pressure button means an afternoon spent tuning the bow! #archerysky #archery
Received my signed prize from @angusdonald.bsky.social !! Thank you sir! #booksky
Perfect day for archery; sunshine with a slight breeze. Pretty happy with 456/648 for a National. #archery
Very excited as tickets bought for our first trip to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social ! #comics
Just finished the excellent Arthur by Giles Kristian. Already planning to re-read all three (Lancelot, Camelot and this) sometime very soon! Highly recommend! #booksky
Rare trip to a 'physical' archery shop to pick up a backpack (dog not included) and plan next purchase. Plan is to cycle to archery field from now on! #archerysky #archery
Free comic book day!! #comics #dccomics
Although didn't quite beat my PB for a WA60, very pleased to achieve an end of all 6 arrows within the red/gold!! #archery #archerysky
Bet that's not an easy task! How long have u been shooting for?
Hi, yeah same, Olympic recurve
Why comics? I think some of us have a unique brain chemistry: We see that combination of words and pictures, a chemical substance gets activated in our brains, and we're captivated for the rest of our lives by this extraordinary art form.
Thankful that the rain never arrived and managed to shoot a full round at 50m, scoring 506/720. Very pleased with consistency from first to last end and the amount of golds and reds #archery #archerysky
