There is only one word I can use for the weekend, CHANGE !
On Friday a collected a pair of single vision spectacles, I had these made as I was not able to use my multi-focal specs when shooting and contact lenses don’t seem to be compatible with me. So single vision Specs were the last choice.
I’m quite pleased to say that I can see the target now, it’s amazing how clear all the colours are now, instead of blur of rainbow colours.
So that was the first change for the weekend.
On Saturday Noel Robinson from Elite Archery Experience who has assisted me with coaching and equipment was visiting from JHB and spent quite a bit of time setting up my bow along with some additional coaching, He also brought down a couple of new sets of arrows for me to try out. A big thank you for Bowtime to accommodate us whilst we worked on equipment and my shooting.
I’m happy to say that only a few small adjustments are needed in my form and those will take a few weeks to re-program my muscle memory and subconscious.
Due to the rain we were not able to spend enough time tuning the bow, it would have been great if we could have shot outside and tuned the bow at 30m and 70m. That will be something I need to do on my own at another time in the very near future.
I’m going to work through the new arrows and select the ones that group the best and use them to tune the bow as best I can indoors before moving outdoors.
