Smoke Gets In Your Eyes...

anonymoose_au10:32pm: So today was my first Kidbow Adbow class at the archery range! Unfortunately, yesterday there was a hazard reduction burn that got out of control and as a result there's smoke around and having spent two hours outside my eyeballs are now dry and rather sore. I ended up with a headache and as often occurs with me I kinda forgot to take anything for it for like two hours. But I finally got around with it and I'm good now.
Anyway, the archery went well...until the end where we had a game which was quite fun except that when my team ended up on the 25m target and even though we were closer to it than that, I missed the target soooo many times (although I've since realised it was probably because I didn't adjust the sight on the bow to compensate for the change in length from the target.
However! I did succeed in qualifying on the 15m target, which means next week I can go to do the 20 metre one, hooray!
That reminds me, I've totally forgotten to update Facebook on my progress, whoops...I think I mentioned that an old school friend of mine said they could see if their father (who was an Olympic archer) had any old equipment I could use. Which would be quite a saving, although I did find out last week that I need a rather short riser (that's the part of the bow you hold and place the arrow on) because I'm a shortie, so unless her father is also quite short, I'm not sure his equipment would work for me. Also how would I get it?
Right, it's 11pm now so I better haul butt and get a decent amount of sleep, which also might be why my eyes are dry.
Goodnight!
