50m

Next sunday is 50m (122cm/10face) competition in Pori. So today I practised the distance to 80cm field target. The grouping was much better in the beginning, but spreaded to the and... Just got little tired in the end, thats why not so good finish...

Brake

I have had a nice brake from shooting. It has been a mid summer selepration in Finland. Yesterday I was shootin 72 arrow outside. Just some warmup to 80cm target. First from 30m and then if from 9 arrows were 6 inside the yellow, tooked 2,5m longer... I had to stop when I got all arrows in the yellow from 40m ;)))). I think that I have shooted before too many arrows and too offen. Looks like the brakes is good for me :))

Fita (Barebow) Tampere 14.6

It was nice weather all day and there was little wind. I shooted all day to the left. Don't know why, maybe cause I didn't stand middle of the target. Or the bow was not really good tuned, who knows :). In 70m I had very good aiming point, cause the windflags was middle of the target, so I expected over 300 score. But all the arrows were in the left 7-9, and tryed to get them middle, not today :), score 280. Then straight to 60m. It didn't start well. Mark was little off and very poor start.. To the end I got some better scores, but the score stayd to 280.. 50m was little better, but still the arrows stayed left, I tryed everything, but then the group moved to right same place... 285 there. 30m was the best, 325. I don't mean the score, but shooting was also better, maybe cause there was three distancies to practice shooting, and the tuffiest National record was also in 30m. Had to focus more to get that also... I was quite happy to broke all 5 Barebow Fita record. Fita score was 1171 :)

Merksplas Sunday

Only one day competition for me. Time to practice only one time at the week, and I could see that in the results. Also changed the arrow rest, the marks was something else that before. I'm happy t0 333, what I shot. Arrows were also going around the yellow, don't know why..
But leaving to Finland on Wednesday, there I have more time to tune the bow and prctice :))

Green Horn

Finally I got new picture of me and the Sirius, thanks to Cor Hendriks :).

5 Nations, Sunday

Again too late to the competition place, and no warmup shooting.... But, the good news was that they changed the groups so, that I was in the group where was only one recurve shooter and one barebow shooter... And I started with the 5m bunny :)). So much better feeling in the start, and much better score also... First six targets 90, and the second 89, they were all unknown targets, beside the first 5m.. Also the bow worked better in the second day, than in the first?!? Second part was the tuffies course the I have ever shot... But very good practice, now I know which marks to shoot tuff up- and down hills :). So, next six targets 82. And in the end I was little tired (have to workout). Last six were not so good 77... But veeeery happy to the second day score, in that course. Have to tune my bow, cause in 20-25 meter the arrows are going in four left, some reason...
Results 312 and 338, not bad 650..
