First Day Back on My Feet...

18 meters at Gander Mountain. I guess I got the precision down. Then again, a 3-arrow end of 21/30 points isn't too shabby for a longbow with skinny arrows!

18 meters at Gander Mountain. I made a small adjustment in my anchor to see if I could optimize things better for 18 meter, 40 cm target face to see if I could get it to the point where I could even reliably shoot a Vegas Face. The first shot was in the blue (couldn't see what I was doing) so I lined up in the same place again and did the same thing. Apparently I was extremely consistent for this to happen.

I emulated an individual elimination event at 70 meters, where I allocated 20 seconds per shot with a 20 second gap between them to simulate a second archer shooting against me. This would not win me any set points or help me in a cumulative scoring round against the likes of Khatuna Lorig or Ki Bo Bae but shift things over to the left and maybe a tiny touch down and I could probably give them a little pressure for an end. Now if I can keep up this kind of precision on a much more consistent basis!
