Finally shooting

Is anybody reading this site? I have no idea. Well I will write some for my self :). But the bow is here, and I have been shooting like 3 times, after we arrived here. Like 120 arrows at time, not too much, but enough to keep the shooting good. I have 25m competition on 6.1 in Jyväskylä, so I have been practicing that distance. But I have one problem, the knocking point hits my nose. Its cause the upper knocking point is metal ring. It hits my nose. Have to change to string :). Or use some tape in the nose...
On Sunday we shot practice competition, with timing. That was promising, 551. The goal in Jyväskylä is 560, that would be a new finnish record in 25m (Barebow). Its not so far, I have a chance ;), just have to keep all arrows in yellow, not more...

Bow in the way, we are in Finland

No shooting this weekend, cause my bow is still in between Brussels - Helsinki - Tampere - Virrat.
Also my all clothers are in the same bag, nice. Usually this happens, when you change flight somepoint. It's not the first time. Also they have changed the way they deliver the "lost" luggages after. No more taxi, my bag is coming with the bus, and the Virrat bus station is open next on monday..

152 arrows outside ;)

It was nice day yesterday, so I disided to go outside to shoot. Sun was shining a little, and it was like +5, no wind. I shooted 50m to 122cm target, all of my arrows at time (14). The bow was little bit of tuned, but usually atleast 10 of 14 hitted the yellow. I was very happy to that, cause I haven't shot to the target in week. Today again I'm gonna pull the empty bow, cause it seems that it has helped to keep the draw strength. It was so easy to shoot the 14 arrows, except the few last serials, they were really hard, but good practice :).

Shooting

No time to shoot, cause Emil is sick again :(. So I have only went to the volleyball practicing during the evenings.. I need to get some stomach and back muscles to support my spine. I have pulled empty bow to keep the draw strengh up.

186

Today, much easier to pull 186 arrows. Next goal that I have is to have very nice score in Jyväskylä (Finland) 6.1. There is a 25m competition. The finnish record is 559, so the goal is to get 560.. That is a hard to get, but it's still makable. Just need to stay in yellow, like in field ;). The target is 60cm, so its similar than in field 25m/60cm.

Bunker

100 arrows in our backyard bunker ;)

Season 2009

Next year goal, to get a medal either from World Games or from European Championships.

Season 2009 started today. After a month brake 153 arrows. Last arrows was really hard to shoot. The strenght of shooting has gone away little, so no strenght to shoot 7 arrows a time. But the bow was okey, and the shots were quite good ;). It comes quickly back..

I have started to play volleyball, so that I get some fysic also to the body. And it's fun, after two years brake...
