steady improvement

A cold night indoors tonight the only difference from outside was the lack of wind.

Decided to do a triple spot Portsmouth and started slowly only 4 ten’s in the first two dozen but only one arrow outside the recurve 10 ring I noticed a distinct pattern to my arrows bottom target low, middle target they were in the middle, top target high all in the recurve ten. After a quick break I came back a lot strong shooting 10 consecutive 10's after that I found a bit more form and ended up scoring 557 an increase from my first Portsmouth off 544.

The last dozen it got colder and it seemed that my release aid was sticking as in the last dozen one arrow went off into the 7 and another went off in the 8 both times I felt solid in the middle of the target and several other arrows went high in the 9 ring but there was a pulling action to it so I shot 3more arrows afterwards warming my release aid before hand and just shooting at the middle in put 3 lovely 10's in.

So another lesson learnt and possibly a valuable for the outdoor season so hopefully next week I can crack that 560 barrier, and I'm still wondering if I should bring out the X7's.
