September Sessions begin! Tournament Listings.
Last week we
had our new split Sunday sessions, and it worked very well. The weather
cooperated, and we were outside all day. Parker Bows set up inside and let
folks try out crossbows that were attending the big anniversary sale at Big
Woods Goods.
Several students worked on some distance shooting for rank, and preparing for upcoming tournaments .
The balloon shoot and nock out games demonstrated some tough competition, and some very skilled archers, and we finally had winners in the hot soda rounds !!.
Make it personal.
When students set up their own equipment, there are various ranges offered. A brace height on a 66" recurve bow may have a range of 8"-9.25". Each archer "tunes" their equipment to their shooting style. With time consuming, methodical brace height adjustment testing, the correct brace height has been reached when the sound is quiet at launch, and the group is at it's tightest. If an archer numbers the arrows, and shoots them in order several times, noting an errant arrow as the same numbered arrow each time, the archer can know the equipment needs adjusting rather than wondering "what did I do?". If shot in reverse (6,5,4,3,2,1-and now #1 is always out-the archery may be fatiguing.
Many champions create their own grips by using an epoxy putty, better suiting the hand position, and, they may wrap their grips to keep better control of the grip in the rain or sweaty heat. Slight adjustments in a nock, or changing to a string nock or metal nock can change the flight of the arrow by making the string cause the arrow to be stiffer, or weaker, flying more left...or right. As students begin to consider tournaments, "personalizing" their set up becomes very important.

This week, we will work on getting the string pulled back and in position, before "riding the string hand up the pole."
