Who said it would be easy

Practice over the past week has been slow but steady. Went right back to 50 yards, arrows all over the palce at first, but then grouping in, and finally scores of 48+.

Moved up to 60 yards for the next couple of days - seem to be stable scores after the second day of 48+ for almost all ends.

Moved up to 80 yards on Sunday - groups started quite wide again, but slowly moving in. Still struggling to get my head around that last year getting 48 and 50 was a breeze at 80 yards, but only just getting over 40 on a few ends. Tension is a definate issue, so relax a bit more on the shot. Keep the bow hand nice and loose, feel a strong but light anchor against the jaw, and commit to the shot as soon as ready.
