New limbs, new “candy cane” string, new quiver and extra arrows. Now pulling 29lb. Outdoor season starts afresh… bring on that Bowman classification. Oh, and an outdoor competition booked. #archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB

Following a nineteen year gap… I’ve been shooting now for just over a year. Half a dozen badges, three county championship competitions, two club records and zero injuries (shoulder). I think I can safely say “I am an archer”! #Archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB

After a five week break and a new cordovan tab face… everything (mostly me!) was slightly out of sync. But at the end of today’s session things were improving… slowly. #Archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB

3rd archery comp today. Another county championship - Leicestershire & Rutland. Awful score. As we were from out of county we were classed as visitors. My daughter won gold in the Ladies. I got 2nd in the gents. 50+. No medal. There was only 2 of us 😂… that’s it now for me as far as indoor competitions go. Going back to basics & focus purely on technique. Got to say I really enjoyed competing. Met some lovely people too. #Archer #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB #ArcheryCompetition

So… competed again today. After Fridays disappointment I wasn’t expecting much. I did improve slightly and didn’t come last! Bonus. I did figure out a couple of things that I can work on. What I didn’t know (my daughter organised everything) was that it was the Nottinghamshire County Championship. Best news was my daughter won the ladies recurve. She’s an indoor county champion! #Archery #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB #Archer #RecurveArcher #Competition

Couldn’t shoot for shit tonight. My 2nd lowest score for a #Portsmouth. I’m competing on Sunday. Doesn’t bode well… #Archery #ArcheryGB #RecurveArchery #RecurveArcher

So, having struggled with sizing with my Fivics and then AAE Cavalier tabs I decided to get this in XL so I could butcher (cut/transform/glue) it to find the perfect dimensions. Only £12.50 so well worth a punt. #Archer #Archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB

Oh, the frustration of #Archery - shoot a #PB, them compete in a status event and drop 70 points (yeah, I know!) then back to the club for another PB. Made a small adjustment to the knocking point… worked wonders.

2 more scores like this and it’s IB3 for me!

Shot my first archery comp today. Axrecirdxstatus Portsmouth with Sherwood Archers. My lowest score ever for this round but I wasn’t last! To top off an excellent (if nerve wracking at the start) day my daughter took the bronze in the women’s recurve. #ProudDad #Archery #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB #ArcheryCompetition

Good session shooting tonight. New #PB of 481. Need to eliminate those blues’n’blacks! And shoot more often… #RecurveArcher #RecurveArchery #Archery #ArcheryGB #PortsmouthRound

@hedders My daughter shot in the EMAS Regional Open & Indoor Championships today. WA18 world record status event. Came 8th of 10. Super proud dad here too! We will compete together next year! #Archer #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB

Four weeks since I last shot. Portsmouth 472. Damn that 36 point end… still, happy with that. Shot with my daughter - she got a PB and club record 547. In the end pictured I managed to remove one of her nocks 🫣 Good tight groupings though! #Archery #RecurveArcher #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB #PortsmouthRound

Shot a 465 this afternoon. Lower than hoped but I haven’t shot for a few weeks. Decided to move targets after my boss buddy Ruth bagged a #RobinHood - it was getting a bit crowded in there! #Archery #RecurveArchery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB #PortsmouthRound #ArchersOfMastodon

2nd #Archery session indoors. Very happy with my 472 after Fridays 473. Work to be done on my grouping but overall it’s a good start to the season. IA 1st class achieved and a 450 Portsmouth badge! #Archer #RecurveArcher #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB #PortsmouthRound

I have entered a couple of open status Portsmouth events next year. Go me! TBH it was my daughter and the better archer who persuaded me. It’ll be nice competing together. #Archer #Archery #ArcheryGB #RecurveArcher #RecurveArchery #ArcheryCompetition

Decided it’s time for an outdoor classification. So took on a National 40. Obviously a #PB as it’s the first time shot. But… 458 is a second class score. Woohoo. Could have done better at 40yards but pretty happy overall. #Archery #Archer #RecurveArchery #RecurveArcher #PersonalBest #ArcheryGB #National40

Another PB. 248 @ 40yds. Despite being absolutely knackered. Happy with tonight’s session. Second of 3 for an outdoor progress award at 40yds. #Archery #Archer #RecurveArchery #ArcheryGB #OutdoorProgress #PB #PersonalBest
