Competition in Turku and Seinäjoki

555 !!!

In both competitions. Week ago I had some bad 3 arrow targets, but still I had some 30 points targets.. During the week changed Winact limbs to my golden bow and got some more power to the bow. Week ago the bad shots were in left 8, but now the bad shot was still in the yellow. The X7 arrows are little stiff for the bow, so needed some more power..
Yesterday all of the 3 arrows scores were between 27-29, one set was 26, but the shooting level was like average. No peaks and no lows, that was okey.
I had a chance to make a new national record for the barebow with the last arrow, but like normal I put it into 8, leaving me again one point behind the record 556...
Week and a half to go to F2F. So just have to take it easy and do some fine tuning to the shooting and to the bow..

Competition in Kurikka

First competition in this indoor season in Finland and the hopes was little better about the score than I got. Goal was like 560, like I have shot this week in the practices. But like many other times the real score started with 53. Shooting starts was nice, but in some point just the arrows started again go around. And in the first half end I miss the 5ring target complitely. Strugling little bit with the lights, cause in the hall the light was not enough, it was little dark.
We had also the F2F elimination rounds and it started also very badly, I was allready after two ends 4-0 losing, but then I started to shoot good again, took the three next round and won the set 6 - 4. Started the next set very good leading 2-0 and the next two arrows was in ten, but then put the normal 8.. and lots the game.. Also lost then the set 2-6.. but have to be happy to shoot two matches and took some point from the winner :).
I was shooting in the recurve class and my final position was 8th from 17 shooters.
Next week next competition in Turku, hope to shoot better there and tease more the recurve shooters ;=).

900-competition

Shooting the first time 900-competition. It is 60m, 50m and 40m to the 122cm 10face target. My goal was to get some new finnish record. Tomi Knuutila had the former records and my goal was the get 3/4 of those. Last scores was 257 (60m, tuff), 239 (50m) and 274 (40m).
The 60m score was supprice that I broke the score by two points 259. Second was easier to brake,
got 269. Last should have been easy to brake, but the arrows just were going around yellow. To last two round just tuned the bow and found the 10 again, but too late. Shot there 273 :(. Well now I have some goal in the next 900-competition. But together score 801 was also new finnish record :). So 3/4, I'm happy. That was the last outdoor competition in here, so now just tuning the bow for F2F :)).
Just have to lower the arrowrest and take the X7 arrows to use..

SM-gold

During the weekend we had the best Archery finals in the finnish history. We were shooting middle of the town Espoo in Tapiola the field finals. The local club Robin Hood were made tuff job to brought the archery in the town. The 8 final targets were safe and all the people could see them :). Here is some pictures about that first from Hood then some pic from my sponsor Sami.
Really we had some awsome time in the finals.. I was little scared when Markku was leading after the first 20m target with 2 points.. After second targed I took the lead from the 10m bunny with 1 point.. Then 40m I did 6,4,4 and Markku counl'd follow, and I had a easy job in the final target (50m) to make also 6,4,4 and win the gold medal :)

But, still have to say that the Robin Hood club made a were nice jos to take the field archery to the town to everybody to see :)

Now next ompetition 900 round in finland and then concentrate to the F2F ;)

I'm working Virrat in local power company and there has been starting last Wednesday so much work, also some night, cause there has been so BIG thunderstorms and downburst that half of the county has been without power in some point. My work days has been like 13h, like today..
