Thread: Any Archers out there??

I assembled my first bowstring on tuesday night. I was playing with it tonight and was moving the knocking point etc and I messed up the serving. Now I got to reserve it again tonight. At least I didn't wreck the string itself. If that is the worst mistake I make today I am doing well!

Well I tend to bow hunt like I fish... only whenever I get a chance.

I awoke at 01:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. Decided to go the the archery club and got there around 04:15. By the time I left just after 12:00 I was starting to get sloppy! I did 2 scoring games and then assembled a new string and shot another. All 3 beat my previous personal best, even with the new string and only 5 shots to sight it in!

My personal best with an Olympic Recurve is now 281 with 14 X"s. Although the 278 with 21 X's I think I am happier with even though a lower total score.

I am starting to approach competitive!

I wonder how my muscles will feel in the morning?????

I have had a good archery week.

My team finished first in my Wednesday night leagues. [compound bow]

I went to the Minnesota State Archery Association state indoor tournament on Friday. When we went for breakfast at the motel the clerk mentioned that there was an article in the paper about the tournament that we told her we were attending. There was my picture on the front page! My freestyle compound score was acceptable but not what I wanted.

Today I was crowned the SMNAA champion. Senior Olympic Recurve. [There was only 2 in my class.]

I finally got mine set at the 30 yard line,,,, I went to a different type peep & this one has a little lens in it that clears up my pins,,,, I always thought my pins were supposed to "glow" brightly,,, it's so nice to see a sharp pin.

Trouble is that you have a sharp pin or a sharp target. I prefer a sharp pin....

My sights that I have been using lately have circles. Your eye naturally centers a circle inside a circle.

I just joined another archery club.... I will have leagues there for the next 22 weeks.

That makes 2 clubs and I shoot at a shop...

I love archery!!!!!

Maybe some day I will be good at it.

I have been having fun trying field archery. Here are a couple of pictures of fun groups this week. I admit they haven't all been this good!

This group was shot from 4 stations in a fan pattern at 35 yards.



This was at 50 yards. Was the odd shot a mistake and my sight was off? Or did I make the same exact mistake 3 times?

With them holes all over the place,,,, I thought you were playing, "Pin The Tail On The Donkey",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
