What a practice

Tuesday's archery practice was far better attended then I would have expected for the first one after Pennsic. There were about 19 people shooting plus a few just watching. [livejournal.com profile] complexated got to run her first official line (ok, she's not on the official marshal list yet, but it is working it's way through the system).

I shot poorly, but right now I'm using three different kinds of arrows to make up a set of 6-8. I need to do some repair work on a bunch so they can hold me over until I get a new set.

That was definitely the biggest practice I've been to! It was kind of awesome. And hey, I shot better than usual, so it was doubly awesome. I'm going back out for more practice tonight. :)

Yeah, it was amazing! We need to buy more loaner arrows!

It was a great practice. I'm thinking we need to pull that table that's down at the end (they use it for the novelty shoot on first Sunday) up to behind the general area, for more room for folks to set up. That might help the crowded-ness at set up/break down.

Would have been better if I'd kept up the momentum I had at 20 (shot a 23) instead of falling apart at 40 (2!) and 30 (7 I think).... sigh.

Could have done without crunching my fingres, too -- only one still sore though so I should be good by next week :)

I'm glad things went well and sorry I missed it. I honestly drove up and down Neif... road 4 times looking for the turn and could not find it. Very sad. Must cry now.
