anonymoose_au11:30pm: With archery today! I mean honestly I should have already known them, but it's hard to remember everything, which no doubt explains why the Korean archers start at like age 4 and spend two years before actually drawing a bow.
Anywho, as it turns out I haven't been doing a good job with my string picture - which is what you see when you've pulled the string back and are just about to release it. You have to make sure you have it at the exact same place when you let go, which is easier said than done! But on the plus side when I get it right the arrow goes right in the yellow zone where it's supposed to!
Oh I also move my head too much, so I've got to not do that, but at the same time I have to make sure my head is actually in the right position, which is kinda hard to tell. I mean I was pretty sure I had it right, but sometimes the arrows went high and other times they went low. So that's gonna be a bit hit and miss.
On the plus side I think I finally figured out how to get the finger sling thing to work, a couple of fellow archers have showed me how to do it, it involves loops and stuff. You have to loop one way and then the other way and it's all confusing :OP
Moving along, I was looking at LiveJournal and apparently yesterday was my journal's 22nd birthday, which is a bit of a trip since that means my journal is older than I was when I started it! How freaky is that?! Although there was those few years when I hardly updated at all...
On a final note tomorrow is the Council Trivia Night, so I better have my brain ready to go. However, I'm not sure if our leader picked the best team name - The Team to Beat it's just asking for hubris, also it doesn't have a fun pun in it.
On that note, I shall be off!
Ta-ta!
