Sunday was my last tournament for a long time with my Recurve. The occasion was the Grand Western Inter-counties. A selection only tournament for archers of the region.
I prior to the day I didn't really want to go I was scared that I would be last out of the mens recurve within DCAS. I shot on Target 5 thus showing my ranking inside the county for this season. For the last 3yrs I've shot on target two. I wasn't encouraged by the fact that our top Recurve archer wasn't going to be present or one of our best compounders. I decided that I would go purely because it would be my last with a recurve for some time, perhaps ever.
So to the reason of this Blog, it's going to be a journal for me and anyone else who wants to comment on my ventures with a compound bow. Tomorrow I will be down the field setting up my compound for the club championships having just increased the weight by a turn and a half. I've shot one tournament with my compound and scored 1206, a very respectable score for a recurve, I've set myself at this moment in time two targets for 2010 a 1300 FITA and a 1200 york, I'm not really sure about the york target at this moment in time but I want a 1300, this blog is going to be struggles and adventures in achieving this and hopefully more.

Archery has been my life since the age of 6. After losing heart with the sport over the last few years I have decided to change From Recurve to Compound, This blog is to remind me of where I have come from and where I want to go
