The longbow made a bit of a return yesterday, mostly because I knew I was NOT going to be in any condition to shoot the Olympic recurve after Leg Day (tm) which also included work on my snatches and clean & jerks, which left my back and shoulders tender. Plus I just miss the freedom and aesthetics of the longbow! All in all though, even if my accuracy sucked, my precision got even better as a whole after spending some time with the clicker. That being said, I think I'm going to still focus most heavily on Olympic recurve but it sure felt great shooting the longbow again!
Only 50 meters and only 3 arrows because I had a gaggle of snap-shooters next to me who complained that I took too long to even shoot my 3 arrows!
And I'm back home at the Fred Bear archery range with the Orange and Blue Archery team. I miss my old team-mates even if I'm no longer eligible to compete with them unless I decide to go back to school yet again as a full-time student! Someone want to fund me for... oh, I don't know... a PhD in exercise science? A MFA in creative writing? A MS in sports medicine? Something where I get to work on human physiology with an emphasis on the mind-body connection?
Only 20 meters but I guess I still have some competence left in me with the longbow! And it felt great just being among brains where the age difference is less than 20 years once more!
