Sunday July 3, 2011
We have 11 participants and will hold the training session July 3. (BWG may still be cooking hot dogs at the front door for the July 4th celebration!)We had a great 1st Saturday Orientation Saturday the 2nd with lots of really good shooters, and closed with a 3 person, 3 in the gold, shoot off for the "hot soda". Winner scored 30 ! Wow-what a score for a newbie!
Training: Arrow Patterns
We will continue with specific training tomorrow working with "blue tape".
Where are your arrows landing? what quadrant? We will section targets off with the tape and as you shoot , rather than focus on the Gold, focus on process, and you will see the pattern and how they reveal what to adjust in equipment or form. I will have sheets for you to record patterns over various ends.
Numbering arrows, shooting them in order
This process gives indications as to arrow errors, or form errors, and shows up in the patterns. It's easier with your own set of arrows because you begin to notice groups forming within the dozen arrows you shoot, but still very effective with the program arrows. Shooting 1,2,3,4,5,6 then 6,5,4,3,2,1...if 6 is always out no matter which sequence you shoot, it is not you. Arrow nocks can be off just a hair and cause variations.
Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up, put your sight on the bow and sign in. Begin to know your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target.
