Getting back into the evening #barebow flow.
Not the faintest idea whether that's okay at 20m, but I don't care :) -
Not elated about my scores yet (4.88 average at 18m) but at least it’s improving. Hope to at least get back to my #barebow averages. I think it should be doable to get there this year.. if I don’t keep switching bows 😅 #archery #traditional

First day trying out a bow sling.
I've used a wrist sling for the past 6 months or so, and have preferred it to a finger sling.
Jury is still out on this one.
Pro: one less moving piece, and very trouble free. I've once shot my how off a cliff because I forgot the sling, and this would prevent that happening again...
Con: there's even less feedback than with a wrist sling: you don't really feel the bow jumping.
Can't complain about today's groups, though!

And this, my friends, is the reason you should never skimp on (re)making your lower nocking point. Without that, the arrow tilts when it leaves the bow, resulting in less accurate shots, and a tendency for the arrow rest to shear the lower right (RH) vane off.

Quite happy about this. The two first ones were absolutely intentional, and on the third i immediately knew I missed.
These targets are HARD when doing instinctive shooting.

Had an opportunity to take a seminar by Jake Kaminski this week for a total of 18 hours. Good stuff 🏹 I'll be happy if I can consolidate the fixes to my form over the rest of the year...

Just realised I boosted everyone else but didn't post mine 😅🤦🏻♀️
My #3goodthings for #Saturday:
1. After wearing a bra that wasn't a good fit yesterday, I really appreciated the one that was today 👍🏻
2. It was a sunny afternoon, so I went to the range for some #barebow practice. I didn't get as many golds as last time, but I've not been in a few weeks as I didn't have a car & the cold set in quite quickly 🏹
3. Played some of the #Overwatch Halloween events ⌨️🖱️

Completely oblivious to the time 😬 It's been a busy one!
My #3goodthings for #Saturday are:
1.Cleared out the porch & have coats/shoes ready for the charity shop ☺️
2.Cleaned out the fishtank 🐟 First time I've done a complete water change since the babies appeared.
3.Did some #barebow today (which I've not done in a while) Was doing my best Hawkeye impression using my back quiver. I got 4 golds in my best end, so I don't think I did too bad.

The sky was overcast and the temperature was in the comfortable low twenties (Celsius obvs) this morning down the the archery range.
There was a gusty wind which didn't make for easy archery.
I didn't match my previous personal best of two weeks ago, but still made a respectable score for my short metric round.
It was good enough to count towards my AGB classification though.
I still need to work on tightening up those groups at 50 metres though.
Sigh ... -
I was back at the archery range again this morning (for I am a creature of habit).
It was overcast, a little cooler than of late and with very little wind.
Ideal archery conditions.I shot a short metric round again (yep, a creature of habit) and improved on last week's score by a whopping 42.
I still need to tighten everything up so that I can keep all arrows inside the blue on that 80 cm face at both distances.
Onwards and upwards.

I was down at the archery range again this morning at 07:00.
Shock horror there was somebody else there as well!
I shot a complete Short Metric round:
36 arrows @ 50 metres
then
36 arrows @ 30 metresOn an 80 cm target face in both cases.
It wasn't a brilliant score, but would have counted towards one of the AGB classifications.Next time I'll get someone to witness my scores.
By 09:00 the temperature was already 24 degrees centigrade.
So I left and went home. -
I had a very pleasant and productive morning at the archery range today.
Lovely sunny late spring weather and no real wind.
I've switched bow styles this year which has meant a fundamental change in shooting techniques.
So it's like being a beginner again.Shooting bare-bow and string-walking at 30 metres on an 80 centimetre target face.
I'm just beginning to get some reasonable arrow groups.
Practice, practice and more practice.

Unlike the #Guardian reviewer & some others, I kinda liked The Uprising. Okok, it was very straight-forward and barebones storytelling-wise but I dug _that_. Reminded me of the irresistible drive of #FuryRoad.
What it lacked was the wild characters of Fury Road. It had some, tho. The other rebel leaders were good, the king & his mother, etc.
The ending felt unnecessary. It _should've_ ended with the hands in the mud, imho. That would’ve been very nouvelle vague!
Some excellent cinematography.

10 years later, Sean Murray still plays the launch version of No Man's Sky, and he still likes it: "It does feel quite barebones in places, but I kind of enjoy that"
"I personally really enjoy it when I'm playing it," he continues. "It has a really weird, esoteric feel, and I think it feels quite different to lots of other games. It does feel quite barebones in places, but I kind of enjoy that. There's a charm to it. It feels weird, and it feels almost like more of an indie game, more niche, which is kind of my taste to some extent. I'm kind of into that."

I set myself a challenge for the summer holidays to do at least 100 shots every day when I can practise. (There is a beautiful pair of limbs waiting for me to get stronger.) I practise with 9 arrows. Every day after round 11, this starts playing in my head.

Blind Equation – A Funeral in Purgatory Review
By Kenstrosity
When I reach for something blindly, I hope for the best. As it pertains to the acquisition of promo, I calculate my chances of enjoying whatever I select as little as possible. Impulse reigns supreme, instinct takes precedence, gut feelings have the final say. This process ultimately led me to Chicago, Illinois’ Blind Equation. Originally launched as a chiptune-heavy cybergrind project, mastermind and main songwriter James McHenry steadily integrated other influences that distinguish this material from that of the greater subset. With A Funeral in Purgatory, written in the midst of great anguish and struggle on McHenry’s side, Blind Equation create their heaviest, most brutal, and yet most vulnerable and earnest work to date.
Resembling acts like DEATHTRIPPA, Blind Equation’s current iteration diversifies its palette with elements of goth and emo, death and doom, synthwave, and melodic black metal. To these ears, those attributes recall everything from AFI, Fires in the Distance, Silhouette, Gunship, and Labyrinthus Stellarum. Depressive tones and desperate wails reminiscent of Ghost Bath or Acathexis also meld beautifully with a hopeful atmospheric counterpoint—a reflection of McHenry’s use of songwriting as a mechanism for catharsis and healing during his darkest moments during A Funeral in Purgatory’s development. Brutal outbursts reminiscent of Anaal Nathrakh or Igorrr, and the occasional deathcore gravity blast, provide an additional dynamic that brings immense metallic heft to an affair that, to my knowledge, doesn’t utilize a single guitar. Unified, these myriad characteristics coalesce into something stylistically unique, instrumentally fascinating, and emotionally compelling.
More importantly, A Funeral in Purgatory is an absolute joy to experience. With contrasting numbers as divergent as my personal favorites, the blisteringly fast and exuberant “Flashback (ft. Strawberry Hospital)” and beautiful death doom closer “Incomplete,” you might expect A Funeral in Purgatory to be disjointed and haphazard. But the opposite is true. Blind Equation’s masterful, meticulous detailing brings unity and adhesion to the record, such that when I hear the eviscerating brutality of “… in Purgatory” juxtaposed against the vibrant gallop of “Flashback,” or the goth-soaked “Nothing” against the metalcore-breakcore mashup “it feels like the end (ft. JOHNNASCUS),” it feels natural and invigorating. An increased presence of slower, more dramatic passages in “A Funeral… ” and “Relinquished Dreams” allows Blind Equation’s heart-wrenching roars and introspective tones to shine through as the brilliant light of higher-pitched synths and chips fade, enhancing what are already compelling songs by creating deeper valleys and taller peaks. Ultimately, this approach to songwriting permitted me very little opportunity to correctly predict what happened next, while still capturing my attention so completely that with each new song I was ready, almost desperate, for the next twist to whip me into another dimension.
However, not all dimensions are created equal, and there are a couple here that don’t quite reach the same echelon as Blind Equation’s best. First and foremost are the interludes, “⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆✟⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺” and “still.” Musically, they are pretty and offer plenty of emotion, but don’t add enough to the storytelling to feel essential to the overall experience. I could argue the former brings novelty to the split title tracks “A Funeral… ” and “… in Purgatory,” but the requisite connective tissue is flimsy all the same. In a similar manner, “mourn” is somewhat lackluster compared to its album mates. This could be an unfortunate circumstance brought about by its barebones instrumentation, which is a stark departure from everything presented over the previous seven tracks. It could also be that its core ideas feel a touch underdeveloped by comparison. Either way, it represents one of A Funeral in Purgatory’s minor weak points. While in no way a detractor on their own merit, Blind Equation’s AFI-esque clean vocals, which only feature in the first three tracks, would bring even greater cohesion to the whole if they featured more consistently throughout.
It goes without saying that I didn’t expect what Blind Equation delivered, nor did I expect to like it this much. At the same time, I really shouldn’t be surprised at all, considering nearly all of my favorite records this year have been wild and unorthodox. A Funeral in Purgatory represents another entry in that varied category, of which there is no doubt. But it’s also one of the most fun and engaging electronic music releases I’ve encountered this year. So if you don’t mind your metal chipped to oblivion, laced with ecstasy, dressed in all black, with a raven perched on its shoulder, then A Funeral in Purgatory might just be your poison.
