Belated Odds and Ends

Belated pictures from the 52nd USA Archery Indoor Nationals...

 

And then there are some odds and ends from preparing for the NFAA Southeastern Sectional Indoor coming up on March 6-7...

USA 52nd Archery Indoor Nationals

 It was definitely a success for me! I finished with a 260/300 and a 250/300 for a grand total of 510/600, which is very impressive for me, especially in the second half, where I was able to group extremely tightly, even if I shot quite a bit in the red and couldn't quite make the adjustments because I couldn't see where my shots were going.

World Archery Virtual Indoors and USA Archery Indoor Nationals Prep

 I shot in my first ever virtual World Archery Indoors, and although I missed the first three legs of the series due to the mix of being quarantined and/or too sick to shoot, it was a blast and a great chance to test my early sighting in game as well as ability to adjust as needed.  

First was the shoot at the East River Archery club, which was located at East River High School in Orlando. 

And then there was today's practice to follow-up from yesterday to reinforce what I learned, including refining my rhythm and risk-taking. For those of you unfamiliar with Olympic recurve, there is a significant energy and time cost in letting down the shot. Obviously, I want to set up the shot correctly in the first place, but issues and errors may occur. For me it's most common is either a floater in my vision or something in my body twitching.
