3D

Went shoot yesterday my frist 3D competition. It was unknown distancies 28 targets with 2 arrows.. It was really difficult without training to figure out the distancies.. But still it was very nice track and very good training for look the distancies trough the ground.. I had lots of fun even missing complitely 4 targets. All the short ones also guessed to close, but some far away animals were pritty good. Like standing bear in 57/45 yard or so.. Shot first one straight in the small circle, 10 points and secont to 8. The max is 20 points per animal..
Not many points like 278/560...but had fun and it was a good training :).

Article about weekends field in Riihimäki, Finland.

Spring

Nice weather we have here in Finland. Still during night temperature goes below zero and during day like +10 and cold wind from north..
During day I can shoot some arrow next to the house when Sara is taking a day nap. Yesterday evening went to shoot, but it was so cold that my finders freezed. Still shot like 140 arrows, the wind stopped so it was possible to shoot in the end.. Shot some 50m, 40m, 30m and 10m with old arrows that don't group. But still best group from 30m was all arrows (12) in yellow (80cm target).
Promised rain for tomorrow, maybe going for in to tune the golden bow..

First field this year

Weather was better that couple weeks before the competition, in the morning it was little clowdy, but in the afternoon the sun was shining a little, so no need to keep the jacket on then..
The competition started with 12 unknown targets and I was first 8 targets like frozen from the long winter. So it took some time to use to shoot outside and in the woods, because no chance to practice in the wood before competition. So in that 8 targets made lots of misstakes like shot wrong target at 5m bunny :(..
But after warm up the shooting started to work and got 166 point to unknown round. Second round in the known targets the shooting was working good. Couple targets 11 points, 50m/80cm and 40m/60, but the others was like average 15points, very good known round 170 points :).

So togethers 166 + 170 = 336 and with one 5 point miss... Very good start of the season with almost no
field practice and with the weather like that..

Going for Germany to shoot Altenkirchen on 12-13.5.2012. There's gonna be some very nice targets,
 up and down. 

Yes, did it. changed the pic :)...

Is anybody stilll waching this site?
Or are you all forgot about me ;?

Wow... a new tool for this site and I'm so out of it.. trying to change the front picture and it's not working :)

Time

Huh... What... Two months or so no writing....

Time goes quickly..

So, best of the season is 554, two points of the national record.

So happy that I could aim all of the arrows. Just one 7 went off in the set..

But really, one and a half year of strugling with the aiming. Now practising with sight it also gives the fealing of relax to the barebow shooting :)..

National championships coming in three weeks, have to shoot to ten rings with my big arrows.

I thought that it would be bad for the arrows, but in practice 250 arrows and only one knock broken..

So going for gold, with my confident now..

Light end of the tunnel

So, went to 25m competition to Jyväskylä. First I had a competition in Barebow class in the morning. Then I had a competition in Recurve class with my Barebow. So I shot again with my Barebow in the Recurve class.

With both shooting had some hard time in some point of the shooting. Looks like less in the second one..

Best point is that I only had like 2 shots that went off before I wanted..

First competition 546 and second 556..

And it looks now like that I can aim again without panic or how you could say that..

So the release is now little more control of me.....

Still waiting my new limbs from Kaya... Got one pair of K5, but they were not made for GreenHorn.

Now waiting for the RIGHT limbs....
