New arrows, my first field shoot and some PB's

Been a little while since I posted, so a quick update.

I shot my first ever field shoot at Friars Gate Archers, shooting a Foresters round. I had some practice a few days before (am some a few weeks before that) with some distance estimation. I shot a respectable 810 points, didn't come last! Distance estimating is a really hard skill. I got it right on most, but badly wrong on others.

However I have got to say I really enjoyed it and will definitely do some more field once the target season is done and dusted.

I have also got hold of some Easton Carbon One arrows, 450 spine. I got these as a backup and straw target alternative to my Protours. I have to say they are a really very good arrow for little over £100 all in. I shot these at the field shoot and was very pleased with them. I have also since shot two new practice PB's with them; 679 70m and 359, 3 dozen @ 30m.

I am now working hard to get ready for the Middlesex County Champs (York), SCAS FITA Star and the UK Masters. Overall I feel my best form is coming back week by week. My shot execution is OK, and the C3 is shooting well (have since got a new C4 though!).
