I'm Gonna Need to be a Pirate
11:00pm: Eek, I'm gonna have to make this quick, but today was the first lesson of the four week Beginner's Archery Course. Our coach was a nice older chap this time around and we were on the opposite side of the field and the three targets seemed very close to each other, long story short though, without been able to close my non-dominant eye, aiming is quite the crapshoot. I managed to get two out of three arrows in the target, but one would always miss! I tried to squint my left eye, but it was rather difficult and judging by how wide some of the arrows went I obviously focused with the wrong eye. The coach mentioned that he actually used an eyepatch himself, so I guess that's what I need to do. I was planning to go buy one this afternoon, but I left my run to the shops a bit late and the pharmacy was closed when I got there. Ah well, there's always tomorrow. I'm hoping that this will help out because when I DID manage to aim with the right eye as I said I hit the target, I even got one in the yellow zone! :OD
I did take photos of my arrows - including one where the coach moved my arrows into the bullseye XD if only! But yeah there's three more lessons to go, so I'm hopeful! We also got a little guide to archery thing, so yay! I wonder if I should take my old schoolmate's offer of getting me some of her father's equipment. It would sure save me money, although with my supershort arms the arrows will probably be way too long LOL, and the bow would be too big probably (unless the father is rather short). But it never hurts to ask I guess. I'll look into that.
Now, I better be off, because my eyes have been a bit weird since the middle of the day, really tired, I even took a nap in the afternoon although it didn't really work. So yeah, gotta get those zzzs.
I got a McFly July prompt done though, so overall a successful day!
Ta ta for now!
