I shot a Hunter classification round at Panther and put in a very nice PB of 544. It's my aim this year to be clearing 540+, and having narrowly missed out on my last classification shoot, it was nice to do it on my second of the year. That means I have also re-qualified for my SFM classification.
I started the round with a lowly 17/20, and other than the last few targets when the rain came down hard, the round was probably the best I have shot for a long time. I did finish the last target, a 70 yard walk-up, with a really nice tight group for a 20/20. I will need to learn not to cramp up when things get wet!
This form was attributed to my release aid grip more than anything else. Keeping a constant pressure across the whole hand mean't that my aim was not bobbing up and down so much. Often, the grip pressure is uneven and can cause, I think, the release aid to pivot, which transmits to the d-loop and ultimately the bow.
What has also helped is that the last few weeks indoors, I have been shooting on a blank boss to get the feel of the shot. The results are starting to now show so I will continue with doing this.
This weekend is my first 3D competition of the year at Whitemark Bowmen. If I shoot as well again, I should be in the running.
