County Championships Success

After a couple of weeks practice at work went into the championships feeling pretty confident about shooting form, so just wanted to settle down into shooting. Got there quite early, and was funny to hear all the people maoning about poor scores, injuries, equipment not working. There I am with just my bow and arrows and a eagerness to just shoot well, and enjoy myself.

Started off a bit tense with arrows in a group to the right. Resisted the temptation to adjust the sight as it had been in the right place for the past few weeks. On target with R Crich as well, and was ahead for the first couple of dozen, plus 3rd palce on leaderboard. Maintained third place throughout, and once settled in was always catching those up ahead.

Finished on a tournament PB of 530, joint 3rd WMAS (though behind on Golds I think) but got the C classification medal, and 2nd CWAA only 2 points behind P Williams.
