Day 1: Carried my bow and target with me all day at the farm but didn’t get a chance to shoot. So I set it up when I got home. I am shooting a rinehart 18, pulled back and settler into the 60 yard pin. Tried to execute my shot and I got nervous I was going to miss the target so I flinched, then I got into my own head and I started thinking about commanding the shot. In the end MISS! picture of the target shows where my arrow went with the red mark. Probably would have been guys on an animal. I need a lot more practice, part of that is mental practice.

Hit (X/3) : 2/2

Day 1
Just got back to being able to shoot my bow again a couple weeks ago after tearing my right pec muscle last September and having surgery to reattach the tendon in October. My kill zone is the front face of the Rinehart target. 5 pm, sunny, breeze left to right. Pulled the shot a bit to the left bit still in the kill zone.




Day 2
8pm, calm, no wind. Shot broke good, landed a little low and right of center but still in the vitals.

MER : 70

Hit (X/3) : 0/1

Day 1
Missed low. Shot felt good otherwise. 70 is probably beyond my true mer but thought I’d push myself. 80 degrees maybe. No wind. Right at last light such that peep was hard to align with scope
