Twenty twelve gold

In July 2005, to the delight of the nation, the International Olympic Committee announced that the 2012 Olympics are to be hosted in London. Lord Coe said: “This is just the most fantastic opportunity to do everything we ever dreamed of in British sport.” I have one of those dreams - to compete and represent Britain in the discipline of Archery. This Blog records my progress of my attempt to compete at archery in the 2012 Games, having no prior competitive experience.

So you don't think I can do it right? Why not make a bet at poserfish.com with odds that I cannot refuse?

FITA Standard

This week I shot a FITA Standard, which I had never come across before. It's 3 doz arrows at 50m and 3 doz at 30m on a large face. These distances are the same as a Short Metric which I did last week, but on a larger target face.

All went well except for the odd wayward shot, and I was particularly pleased with how I'd started to get used to my clicker. It seems to be doing the job as one end at 30m I scored 58 - 10, 10, 10, 10 , 9 , 9.

I'm going to have to make more adjustments to my setup though as I noticed my nocking point (place where arrow attaches to the string) is too low. I also noticed that the arrow is sitting quite low on the button, so I'll need to adjust the arrowrest to compensate. I hope this doesn't affect things too much.
