Indoor season coming to a close now, and I'm finishing on a high with a new Portsmouth PB:



That's a 570. Sweet. The only downside is that whilst shooting this I discovered my sightblock moves on the track even though all the screws are locked down. Sigh.

Done a little bit of 70m, mostly in godawful winds. Good gold sized groups way over to the left....

Been a while

Just looking back at my last entry which was 1) quite miserable and 2) quite a long time ago. So time for a bit of an update, methinks.

Went to the WAF in Vegas at the back end of February. Didn't shoot amazingly well myself but what an experience. Particular highlights include watching club mate Nic Simpson well and truly kick some ####; Peewee, the bloke a couple of targets down who had skulls on EVERYTHING (riser included) and never stopped smiling all weekend; everyone noticing...

Things fall apart

So. County indoor on Sunday. Wrexham Exile (Al) won the gents recurve very convincingly witth a new tournament PB and we (oxford archers) won both the recurve and compound team titles.

Individually, I put in my worst portsmouth of the season to finish in 3rd place.

Now, I know I should be happy with getting the 3rd place, but it rankles that I can be the outdoor ladies champ for two years running and still be unable to put a decent performance in at the indoor. At the...

2008 bodes well.

Started the year in unpromising fashion yesterday by crashing my car. Came round a blind bend to a guy reversing out of a drive, slammed on but not enough time to stop. The decision then became "Hmm, hit him or oncoming car..?", then my brakes locked up and the decision was made for me. Hit the oncoming car as I slid, ended up facing about 120 degrees to the direction I was going in. Everyone is OK, personally just a bit stiff, but the utter shite who caused it DROVE OFF before I or the...

Playing catch up..

Not posted in ages, I think I left it at half way through the last beginner's course. Since then:
  • course has now finished, and one of the guys who was on it is now putting in 520 portsmouths. Which is nice.
  • have been to Lilleshall for a meeting about the UKCF, and am now on the England implementation group for that framework. Much more to follow on that in due course...
  • Gave talk on said framework at the Berks and Oxon coaching group
  • Done some coaching. Obviously.
  • seemingly lost
