Yesterday training session made me thinking about the early history of the mankind. About the first humans intelligent enough to share their experience with the others. Today, we have an idea about many dangerous situations in our life and we are trying to avoid them as far as we know how. If we don´t know we have to try and hope. Walking on the thin ice just to get the experience that it´s too thin or eating mushrooms looking for the edible ones are that kinds of situations humans needed to move ...

I´ve said once, I want to master the art of archery. Practicing the olympic recurve for a while and slowly getting the idea of the correct form made me thinking about the ways how to push it further. I already had the idea because of my past target pistol efforts - if there is a disruption of mind because of some specific part of the proces then I should work with a little extreme solution = ex. problem with the eye blinking and twitching the muscles at the moment of the air pistol shot triggered ...

Interesting, very interesting. I started archery in the mid-summer last year and ended the outdoor season at the 70m so with my beginners bow I was threatening the airplanes with my mortar style a little.

At the mid of the indoor season I started to suffer some sort of form downswings. I know that this was caused by two things. The first is that ...

But as usual, for every rule there could be an exception...
I started shooting my nearly whole new setup at the mid of the last week (29.2. nice date ), new riser, ...

During the general cleanup at my parents home, it was like digging into the past. I had found the bow I made about ten years ago. It´s made of the Black Locust (Robinia acacia) onepiece. I remeber that I have red somewhere that the italians were using this wood for their bows in the past... I was making the primitive musical instruments(berimbau) that time and learnt to find the nice sounding wood - the hardest, so i looked for the similar piece for my bows. I wasn´t able to find a single arrow ...
