2 weeks to go

Started to ease up the shooting. Last week and a half just shooting lots of arrows (10 at a time). The arrows has been all over the yellow, maybe cause it just has been shooting. Yesterday started to shoot like 3-4 arrows at the time, and with a though. Also yesterday made the skillshootingtest, where is 12 longest targets, like 80cm, 40m 45m 50m... 60cm, 30m 35m 35m.. Score 177 was really promising and raised my confidence to the shooting a lot. Also todays shooting showed that I'm going in the right direction :). (165arrows today, down and uphills)

288

Todays arrow score 288, in 3 shooting times.
More confidence and more arrows in yellow :),
even there was lots of mosquitos..

Cadier en Keer

It was raining first 6 targets or so, so the mood for shooting was not the best. But after the rain stopped it was very nice weather to shoot, even my shooting was not so good in the first or the second day till target 17. The arrows just couldn't hit the yellow, all 15m or longer targets the arrows just went all over the target.. Second day after 17 target I found my problem. The release was not in the right direction, it was like forward and sideways, but not back, where it should be..
After figure that out the last 7 targets were really good, like 40m/60cm (15p) couple 30m/60cm (16-17p) and so.
After that also the training has been very good and the aiming has been more easier than before.
Now 3 weeks to go before Hungary. Now it's looking good and I'm more confident about my shooting :).
Today 204 arrows, and maybe moore..

+24 in Rumst

Nice afternoon for training, like +24 and little wind. Some point shot without shirt, hope that nobody saw me :). Started to check every distance that they were grouping. Put the 80cm target and started from 30 to 50m by 2,5m steps.. Those were pritty okey. Then I had also 60cm target next to it and shot from 15m to 40m.. Went back to 30m/80cm to check the grouping, and notised that all the arrows was all over the X. Changed the string hight up and down, nothing worked?!?
Then tooked a stiff plunger and 3 normal arrow and naked arrow. Even then those 3 arrows didn't group from 18m, and the naked arrow was one ring to the left. So, just tuned the riser half round stiffer. After that the normal arrows started to group, but still the naked arrow in left. So another half round more and the naked arrow started to be next to the normal arrows. So changed back the normal plunger, and the grouping from all distancies was mutch better...
224 arrows with tuning. (2,5h) + 45min of rollerskating after the shooting :).
And also changed during the tuning the arrowrest and the nocking point little higher,
but all the marks stayed the same..
