The Think Tank

Practice today was nothing special. My chest and shoulders were tired from working out the day before, but all in all I thought I shot pretty well. I upped the weights on the front/back stabilizers as follows: Front = 6oz (including Doinker), Back = 15oz.

I felt that combination held pretty darn well. In fact, it may have been a bit too solid. The arrow that dropped held dead center on the spot, but that sort of lulled me into a sense of security and I wasn’t really thinking about pulling through like I should have been. It went off and missed high-right, the typical spot for a weak shot.

After that I paid better attention to pulling through and everything worked pretty good. The shots at 3 O’clock on target 2 were all three a bit of a surprise, as they felt pretty good and held pretty well. Ditto for the high arrows on number 1, although that target was hanging on the high side the whole day. The first 4-5 arrows (including practice) were all in the same spot, right at the very top of the X line, so the two that went a shaft-width higher were barely in the ten. Both felt like pretty good shots to me.
