Practice makes me happy some days :-)

Practice makes me happy some days :-)

In preparation for the upcoming indoor shoot at TAC I've not been scoring any rounds but practicing at 18m at a single 40cm face. This means to get a 10 or X you need to hit a spot about 40mm in diameter on a 400mm target face. :-0

With the latest shutdown of Sydney this will likely reduce numbers and improve my chances. I'll probably be, once again, the only one shooting in my class. So I'm hoping to Steven Bradbury this event like I did at the Canberra Short Course lol

I'm going to join in the indoor Wednesday night club shoots when the next round starts up again and they shoot both 18m and 25m indoors. So was practicing these distances today.

Today's effort makes me think I'm starting to work out where I've been going wrong and with so many variables this is making me happy and a sign that I might not just have to rely on being the only one in my class to be competitive. ;-D

These are all at 25m

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

By
Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c
