Good and not so good!

On Saturday I had a particularly good practise. As normal, I shoot 4 rounds of 25 arrows at 10 metres. 90% were in 8 ring or better, 65% gold, 28% scored 10 and 9% were in or touched the inmost ring.

That made it even more frustrating the next day when I attended the Lough Cuan Bowmen's Ice Breaker Shoot. I didn't shoot that badly, but I just couldn't get the confidence together to shoot really well. Of course, some shots were difficult, longer range, shooting up or down hill, but even on relatively straight forward shots I was trying too hard, not relaxing into it! I guess I need more practise at those trickier situations
