346 + 351

Very nice weekend in Esch. The shooting was very good and the weather was also nice. Now the shooting was mutch better when I consendrated to the pressure point in my left hand, that it's the same in every shot. Only one very bad target during the two day, first day 50m level. Just couldn't get the arrows even inside the 4, 3,3,2 there :(. And also too many targets that I start with a 6,6 or 6,5 and then I shoot like a 3 or 4. And those targets are in a short range..
But very happy to weekends results. Now the field season is over.
Thank you to all who supported me, and special thanks for the sponsors;

163 arrows

I think that I founded atleast one fault that I have done wrong, or haven't think of it during the shooting. My left hands pressure to the handel hasn't been the same in every shot. So the pressure has been changed like up and down, left and right... Today I concendrated to it, and the shooting was better. Even the 20m were very good :).
Now it's little easier to go to Esch ;)

117

So, shooting again after the week in France :).
And I didn't find anything wrong in the bow or the man?!? I shot the 20m to the 60cm target, and all the 10 arrows were in yellow and only one of those in 9. So it looks like the bow or the man just doesn't work in the hot hot hot weather. Why? Maybe I have to take a another trip to some hot hot hot place and start testing that. Lets hope that next year in Hungary, the weather is little less :).

Team Finals

It was a very fun experience :). We were almost like a winners, as U can see in THIS picture :).

In warming place we had a 40cm targets in 20m. So the same thing continued than in the elimination day, just couldn't hit the yellow?!? I don't know what is the reason, but I changed the arrowrest again, like in almost every competitions. Maybe I have to start to think to change it. But atleast it helped in all other distance than the 20m, witch was still bad in the team finals.

Now the season is almost over. Next weekend I'm gonna go to 5Nations in Esch (Luxenbourg), atleast for a one day. Just see my archery friends and thank them from the support, that I have had in this season. So it will be a fun shooting :)))

No final place

The first final track there was lots of up and down hills. I haven't practiced those in three month, so I had to quess the marks, and usually I started with 3. So it was really hard. I try to kick my self, but the normal score was like 5,4,3 or 6,5,2 or so :(. One down hill shot, my string hit my pants, low one. And at the last target, I just couln't hit the targer, even I was fighting to the end. 4,4,2 there :(. Just have to do more fysic training. Only the shooting is not enough..

But the last to BIG competitions has been very hot and tuff. So I'm more than happy that I got the Silver medal at the WORLD GAMES :).

Tomorrow the team finals...

666

Nice score after two days :). I'ts veeeery hot hot hot in here. Tomorrow we continue the finals... Cutting the 16 to 4...

Thalys

Surfing in the train speed of 300km/h :). This is like in the trip to Taiwan. First class. I see rest of the finnish team in CDG Paris. First have to take the train from Paris Nord to Airport. I think it easy, just following the sign RER B.

Rumst

Went to the Rumst to shoot some arrows. Urmas was also there. So thats for my shooting, just talked what has happened during the summer :). But still 90 arrows. Tomorrow is a rest day. I think that I can shoot enough next week ;))

Bunker

Back in Brussels, shot 96 arrows in by backyard bunker (4,5m). Tomorrow to Rumst and maybe on Sunday also..

Rowing pictures

Pictures of the finish rowing competition.

80 Arrows

Couple days off, today 80 arrows. Thats enought to keep the shooting good. I think if I'm shooting more, its bad for me. So max 1hour or 100arrows per practice. I think that I'm gonna shoot second time today in the evening, after watching the SM-rowing. They are rowing front of the yard. The rowing distance is 10km, so they row four times front of the yard. Have to take some photos of the competitions also :)

EC

Just shooting every second day like 50 arrows. Just keeping the good shooting from World Games going on..
