Shot back to back 'National' rounds today in freezing cold rain and blustery wind. Quite pleased to have beaten my PB by more than 50 points. That’s a round of 4 dozen at 60 yards and 2 dozen at 50 yards (twice). #archery is brilliant and my English #longbow is superb. Had a great #archeryday

First outdoor session of the year. 50 yards with an 55lb English longbow shooting Mediterranean style. Strong wind blowing right to left. Had some difficulty finding the best aim point on the bow but after the first dozen I’d got it roughly centred. Steady improvement from 18.4 to 22.8 per end. Lessons: JK video on target aiming is useful. https://youtu.be/kKAg_JIstqo. Also discovered Joel Turnery Archery as a useful source of guidance. #archery #archeryday #longbow
