[Bows] Breaking past 500!

Since I started shooting somewhat regularly and participating in Archery Tournaments, I have been working towards the goal of shooting 500/600 indoors. In Jan/Feb 2017, I saw a large downturn in my scores, right as I was approaching 500, with scores in the 490's I thought that it would come quickly, but alas just missing it started to become a definition of my archery Career. This 2017-2018 indoor season started off with Promise, where I shot a 499 fairly early in the season and saw several high 400 and 490 scores. But then a strange thing happened, My scores dropped, and dropped hard. I had gotten so much better over last year, yet still, My scores seems to stagnate and become much worse, dropping into the low 400's. Even shooting a mid 300 score on a 3 spot target just a couple weeks ago. That low score made me realize something though, I had been focusing way to much on the scores I was shooting. I wasn't focusing on the process that got me those scores, I'd make...

[Bows] Out from the sun, into the rain and hail

Image
On Sunday  Stephanie  and I drove up to Peterborough, Ontario to take part in an Archery Tournament well half of one anyway. We were joined by our Archery Friend Danny Kim, who made the ~2h drive a pleasant adventure. The day itself was a mixture of warm and bright sunny periods, and dark clouds, leading up to some post lunch rain. We only got to shoot the first of the two 720's planned, the second was cancelled due to some lightning, heavy rain and even hail at one point. Later in the day we would get some ice cream, so all in all a good day. My plan for the tournament was to really focus and push myself on the mental game. My goal was to keep a positive, confident, and focused mental state throughout my perfomance.  My first 6 ends were excellent, and my scorecard reflected that. The later 6 ends didn't live up two the first, as some suboptimal thought patterns snuck in, and while I managed to quench them with positive self talk, rebuilding my focus and confide...

[Bows] - Second Archerversary - My journey (so far) (1/2)

It's been two years since  Stephanie  and I started our first lessons into Archery. A lot has happened in two years, and I would like to think it's changed me for the better. (this was meant to be posted in May, so i posted this first half just because, more to come.. eventually) On becoming an Archer. It was a warm day in the Spring of 2016, Stephanie and I got into the Car, headed off to our first archery lesson at OCCS, The Ontario Centre for Classical Sports . There we met our First Coaches, Dave and Scott. This wasn't the first time I shot a bow, but it is the day I became an Archer.  For many years, and several trips just for fun shooting back home in Calgary, I wanted to be an Archer, I wanted to buy a bow, string it up, fill a quiver with arrows and shoot them. Archery is a sport about personal discovery and perfection. A perfect balance between physical training, mental focus, and inner calm. One rule I had set for myself, I needed to take lessons before I cou...
