Finnish Archery Magazine

Wow, this time cover of the Finnish Archery Magazine ;))

Hmm..

Yesterday some volleyball and today about 130 arrows. Testing the Hoyt 550 limbs and compairing them to Winact limbs. I shot from 18m to 40m and the tab marks stayed the same with both limbs. So the Hoyt limbs gives the same bounds than the Winact. Only different was that the Hoyt limbs were more noisy. I put to them the limb saver, maybe that help with the sound. I'm gonna test to reduce the noise with the string hight, adding and redusing the turns on the string.

Merry Christmas to everybody

Shopping

No shooting, instead shopping in townshop Veljekset Keskinen. I hope that on Tuesday evening is nothing else..

This week

No shooting this week, but 2 times real volleytraining and today some curling :).
I try to go shooting tomorrow, some hour to test the new Hoyt 550 limbs. I had some time to test them quickly, and they was almost like the Winact limbs. Thats good, so I don't have to change anything else.

Vaasa 5.12.2009

Very nice competition in Vaasa, little grouded but othervise very nice. The brakes were nice and shorts, and the shooting phase felt quick, even we shot in 3 groups.
First quoter was okey 140, second 136. End of that quoter started the difficulties, I couldn't regognice the reason to that. Third was 132, shot there 3*8 in one serial, after that I knew what was wrong. It was my hip that started to turn to left. So I put my hip straight again and started to hit yellow again. Last 5 set 140. Score 276 and 272 makes 548. Little disapointed but 8th place after that from 16 shooters was okey.
Before the man to man round there was a little bigger brake and I just couldn't keep the fealing. I shot 27,27,29 and 28. Just lost two point to Juuso who shot 29,29,27,28. But I was the best of the loosers, so my final place was 9th :).
I was competing in recurve class to get some tuffer opponets. Very good practice to the next season. And the X7 arrows worked very good, man didn't ;)

ACE / X7

Second test.
I tought that in the shooting range would be somebody else also shooting, but supprice there was nobody. First started with the ACE arrows shooting some warmup arrows. Then shot 30 arrows score, 282. Changed to X7, score 284. So now its 2-0 to X7 arrows... Also I shot with ACEs 3*8, but with X7 only 1...
And it's fun to shoot with the X7 arrows ;))), I have some motivation to shoot, that's more important than shoot better with those arrows.

X7 inside

Thanks guys for the comments, but ;), I was today shooting with them and it was mutch more fun to shoot with them. Also shot the first half with X7 (30arrows) to score 282 and with the ACEs second half 278.. So, after first trainings winner is X7 :). In our archery hall in Virrat, X7 was easier to aim in the middle. With ACE, the point reflected the light from the roof to the points both sides and the upper part was unvisible.
The shooting style does not change at all, I only have different plunger..

But this is for having something else and fun inside than shooting the same everytime.
And lets see the other shooters faces when they see Barebow with big arrows ;)).

This evening again training, now I'm gonna shoot first with the ACEs (30 arrows) and then with X7. Dirk, lets see Xanders face, when I'm pulling my special weapons in the couple shooting.
