First Archery Competition

On Saturday, a mate and I went down to Chiltern Archery to pick up some parts for his compound bow, and to pick up a modern recurve starter kit for me. Following on the advise I received, to practise one year on a recurve, perfecting my style, before moving onto the Longbow.

My first friendly competition was today, shooting Worcester targets from twenty yards (or so), eleven rounds of five arrows, with only five practise arrows and a new bow with unadjusted sight. I got one-hundred and thirty-two, which I’m pleased with for starters.
