I wish I had more time...

Despite being very busy of late, I have managed to steal some time to shoot. Wednesday evenings I shoot at Friars Gate Archers, and my form indoors has been really good. I am not scoring but shooting at a single spot to mimic outdoors.

I got some time to go outdoors today and shot about 70 arrows @ 100yards. Despite a couple a stray ones, more form is still good. If I had the means to shoot a lot more I could really do something, but other things are getting in the way.

What is pleasing is that I have not lost the skill level that took me to MB and almost GMB this year, its just the consistency level has suffered a little bit. That is just something that more practice will bring back, nowt to worry about at the moment.

Hopefully soon I can really get back into it and get ready for next year.

Cant wait to get back into it...

Not much to say, not shot that much in the last few weeks. Preparing to move house lately, but once that is out the way then I want to start ramping up the practice.

The last months low key practice has been OK, had some great shots but consistency is lacking a bit, but that is to be expected. Last Sunday had some awesome shots followed by some poor ones.

I am starting to look at how I want to tackle next year already. I have already decided to shoot only FITA and Yorks (no 720's or H2H's), and I want to really prepare and be ready for the UK Masters in June. Don't want to be last!!!

Practice after my holidays

Last week I came back from a two week break (to Scotland and watch the Archery World Cup), and have managed to steal some time to shoot some arrows.

The day I came back I shot 30 arrows in a terrible wind, but was happy to just pick up a bow again.

Today, I intended to shoot a full York, but time meant I could only shoot 6 doz @ 100 yards. Its was again a horrible day with driving rain and wind, but finished with a 594. Not bad considering the weather, but about 20 points down from my usual practice distance score. Some ends not too good, but some really great ends, and gave me good encouragement that I have not lost it whilst being away!

With more practice and better weather, then I will be back to where I was a few months ago.
