Default How Embarrassing.......

Figure I'll regret posting this, but oh well......

Went to a great tournament today--Lost Tribe in Collierville, TN hosts it. Since I plan to shoot in the "Iron Man" competition at the TN Classic next month (compete with longbow, selfbow, and recurve), I decided I better shoot my recurve a little--I don't remember the last time I competed with a recurve, but I know it's been years. I don't think I have ever competed with this particular recurve (my bowfishing bow), and I've only tinkered around with it around the house a little, mostly to find the right arrows for it. Anyway.....

I shot my first round with it, and shot almost 90%! Dad-gum......then I started thinking--it's going to really stink if I can't at least match that with my longbow.

Well, guess what.....my longbow score was about 10 points lower......maybe more.......grrrrrrrr.......

Selfbow was plumb embarrassing. I was worn slap out after the first two rounds--rushing through to get all three rounds shot on time (and it's not a short course), and should have just let it go, but nooooooooooooo........I had to go make a fool of myself. [:@]

At least I'll have a couple of days to get in two rounds at the TN Classic, rather than a few hours. At least I know I can shoot the recurve ok......I still prefer my longbow though. Not too concerned about the selfbow--I hit the course with it "cold", and it shoots quite a bit different than my other bows. Should have warmed up with it a bit first. Good thing is it about shoots itself, at least when I'm not too tired to get the blasted string to anchor!
