    Adjustment needed.

    I think i mentioned that i had changed back to the compound bow. Well i had trouble with the peep sight twisting round and round and couldnt line it up atall after the string came of the bow and the pro shop put it back on without checking. Anyway i took it back and they put me one of the peep...

    Going up.

    Telling you all about what goes on in our club the feedback shows just how pushy and ambitious our lot are ( there alright really)perhaps edgeing on scareing away a lot of people. An elderly chap came up to me at the club the other night a newby and asked me about my bow and what i was pulling...

    Disgruntled.

    I must be in the most competitive archery club in the country. And they wonder why they lose so many begginers that come along and its all because they dont set aside there success for a while to help some of those that come along, leaving them to fumble in the dark so to speak after the initial...

    Flashing lights huh!.?

    Question.

    If i could see the target indoors better i would have had better scores. Not only could i not see the target clearly but i couldnt see my small arrows with small flights from 20 yrds. I am happy with my platinum arrows but wish i could see where they land so i can ajust my shots slightly...

    Great day.

    I am almost afraid to say how successful my first day outdoors was, on twenty yards i got gold after gold. Moved up to thirty and kept my scores high. The wind was quite rough and it was bitterly cold dispite the sun coming out at intervals. Thought id make a gradual move up to the fifty and...

    Gloomy.

    Well again my scores were not good but about the same and i was shooting 5 yards furthur this time and this time i knew they were correct. I have to admit though i can keep going for however long most of the time, holding my arms up and not getting tired is the difficult bit thats when my shots...

    Trying.

    Question is what now i have messed up my first attempt at a tournament. Here is the best bit i had thought that it was a club competition not a championship,lol. All i saw was a piece of paper on the door to sign nobody told me, i was of sick with the flu last year when they did it. I...

    Thats how it is.

    It seems most who shoot really well and get really good scores deserve them because they endlessly practice every minute they get. Question is i ask myself if i want that endless practicing, would i ever, i get bored too easy at every thing that i couldnt really see me doing it. Its like...

    ####!

    It turned out dissapointing i wondered how on earth i could have got so few points in that comp-. I had got more in a postal when i missed a good few. This time i got some good marks and dont think i missed any. The chap doing the scoring admitted he had put my 9.6.7. down on his own by...

    A good effort.

    I started shooting last year and went onto a compound just because i liked the look of it,you know what i mean me being a woman.lol. Then i was knocked back with flu four times in one season. I stuck with the compound for about six months then decided it would be easier for me having nobody to...

    Better.

    Well winter made it hard for me being so cold i could get no practice done outside and had to rely on the club room to make all my mistakes. Bought a new sight Sf. pleased with it but couldnt get it as accurate as i wanted. Decided to up my limbs was a bit scared wondering if i was doing the...

    Naff.

    I thought i would never get any better then i started hitting the gold again and again at twenty yards indoors it felt real good. Then i fell back again missing for some reason, consistancy is not my middle name. In summer i can get some practice in in the field but in the winter i have...

    Grrrr.

    We had another handycap shoot and i had more misses than i have ever known, i laughed about being the joker in the team. Then some one said hey! let me look at your arrow and hells bells if it wasnt bent as a banana and i had noticed nothing, infact until it was lifted up to the light you...

    Would he?

    I am pleased that a woman nearer my age as chosen to join our club and asks questions about my bow. She asked about the pull and weight then told me none of that meant anything to her when i told her, and of course it wont, lets face it for a while its all baffling perhaps more so for a woman...
