Windier than expected but still a beautiful afternoon shooting! Generally scoring higher nowadays so guess practising more regularly is paying off! #archery #archerysky
Sunglasses and t-shirt on the field today!! Only slight improvement over last round scored (447 compared to 434) but generally felt I shot more consistently overall. #archery #archerysky
Back up to 60m and setting myself the goal of shooting 2nd class bowman scores consistently by the end of the year. 434 today (need 487 for 2nd class), so plenty of work to do! #archery #archerysky
Today felt like the shooting's getting back on track. Nothing amazing but bit more consistent than it has been lately. #archery #archerysky
Glad to get down to the archery field...until my arrow rest broke! 😥 #archery #archerysky
Obligatory Robin Hood post. Not my own, but one of my archery club was quite proud of their destruction of club kit 😉

Saw such an improvement today when focusing on my grip (or rather NOT gripping the bow). #archery #archerysky
Absolutely buzzin' after today's session of 12 ends at 50m !! SO happy with how I shot! Confidence has well and truly returned (although predicting an awful session next week now!!) #archerysky #archery
New riser, arrow rest and pressure button means an afternoon spent tuning the bow! #archerysky #archery
Rare trip to a 'physical' archery shop to pick up a backpack (dog not included) and plan next purchase. Plan is to cycle to archery field from now on! #archerysky #archery
Although didn't quite beat my PB for a WA60, very pleased to achieve an end of all 6 arrows within the red/gold!! #archery #archerysky

Thankful that the rain never arrived and managed to shoot a full round at 50m, scoring 506/720. Very pleased with consistency from first to last end and the amount of golds and reds #archery #archerysky
As it was such a lovely day, decided to see how I scored shooting a Long Metric II round (36 arrows at 60m, 36 arrows at 50m). Long time since I shot so many arrows in one afternoon and, despite a few poor ends, pleasantly surprised at the final score and classification rating. #archery #archerysky
Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) Bowman Patch
Hey, I found it again! I really need to see this on something before I really lose it. This is the highest patch I earned in #JOAD. My grandpa was my #archery #coach so this is more sentimental than the rank (not exceptionally high). #ArcherySky #JuniorOlympicArcheryDevelopment #ChildhoodMemories
Pleasant afternoon on the field. Busy week archery-wise; online module and helping at a taster session...both contributing towards my #archerygb coaching qualification. #archery #archerysky
The quiver is phenomenal. #ArcherySky
Wearing my grandpa's old jacket because I was doing yard work earlier, then to round the night off, fired a couple rounds with I believe his old crossbow. It's a Hunter's Magnum X-2, which I believe the company changed names in 2000. My mom filmed me haha
#archerysky #crossbow
My grandpa left me this beautiful bow. Wanting to restring it since it hasn't been fired since his first stroke in 98, I wanna say, so it's needing some tlc

Shinonna as Sailor Mars on stage
Do I go to archery classes? Yes.
Would my coach ever allow me that posture with an actual bow? NEVER.
Do I still think it looks cool? Absolutely!

Here’s my Archery thought of the day. vm.tiktok.com/ZGdFptb5u/ #ArcherySky
Indoor archery range, a long tiled lane with a tall bale at the end. The bale has several targets pinned to it, both 40CM and 60CM. You can see the tips of my arrows and one of the limbs of my bow at the bottom.
Outdoor archery range with a tree lined perimeter on a sunny day. There are a bunch of targets set up, with one circled at 50M.
Indoor archery 40CM target pinned to a bale, one arrow is through the bullseye, one in the ten ring, and one in the 8 ring.
Standard size outdoor archery target with one arrow in the ten ring, one in the nine ring, and one in the 8-ring.
Lots of people talking about how they plan to handle the next four years from a mental health perspective and consider this a sign to pick up archery!!! Low barrier to entry, extremely fun, very affordable, also you feel like a badass after a little bit. #archerysky 🏹
