Randy... sorta! I started reading the book but as mentioned, I have been distracted by archery for a while now. We had our big shoot last weekend (3 day weekend here so 3 day shoot). All my recent effort has gone into that lately. It paid off though! I took 1st place in mens selfbow which is not a huge accomplishment since the field was only 7 but better, my score was competitive with the laminated recurve and long bow/carbon arrow shooters. I shoot a home made yew flatbow with home made self nocked wood arrows so when I can score up with the guys using laminated bows and carbon arrows I feel pretty good.
Most importantly though it was a terrific weekend meeting up with old archery friends again. This is a shoot I do not like to miss and don't very often... like twice in 20 years.
Now that's done I actually have one more shoot (maybe a couple yet). The North American Longbow Safari is coming up in July as well and I am not going to miss that one. It'll put a dent in my shotgun training and slug shooting but I'm going!
I'll get some slug shooting done for sure and I will read the book for sure along with doing some dry practice. I will read through the book to absorb what I can then do the dry practice after. I likely won't be spending enough time in the next month to be a super proficient "threat" with my slug gun though... but I'll get there!
Nope, no Memorial day but we did celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday last weekend. I celebrated at the archery range!
