Harry and archery, oh my!
Harry is here!!! Not going to be checking my f-list until that's finished, just in case. I may also be picking and chosing my emails carefully, just as a warning. Beautiful book.
Also bought my own bow, finally, which is cause for much excitement and sqeeing. All in the same day! The bow is a KAP Evolution II, measuring 66 inches with a 22 pound draw weight. She has a blue handle and is utterly beautiful. Photography may follow soon :-)) I've gone for a draw weight that I can actually draw comfortably because the shop will allow me to swap limbs for free to a higher draw weight if I need to within the next six months. Very reassuring. I've also bought a warm-up band that I can use to excerise and build up some strength in my shoulders. Basically, it allows me to make the 'pulling a string' motion with appropriate resistance without having to set up the bow in my bedroom and risk hurting someone. If I use it every day, I should start building some muscles and get moved up to heavier limbs within the six months. Woo!
Thursday was also my best scoring round, ever. I pretty much doubled my usual score. I think it's because I haven't been scoring myself for the last few weeks so I've been able to concentrate on what I'm doing rather than worrying about bad shots. It's very satisfying to see that kind of improvement :-)
Well, I'm going to get some lunch, open Harry...and have the Tour on in the background because today is a big Pyreneean stage. Not that I'm a sports fan or anything...
