Archery

Not every day but as often as possible, I do my archery. Not more than 30 minutes, I return home from work after 6p.m. and had to do things about the house and feed the boys first.
But I love shooting more and more - and some progress is showing. It also helps a lot with relaxation. You can´t shoot without a great deal of concentration which is good, you can - or better must - switch off for those 30 minutes.


This is an old sand "quarry" I go to do my training. A blue plastic bag is my target, the distance is real ( about 22m)


One of better results

I also understand fully to "archer´s fingers" ...*Grins*

Wow... that's a long distance!! So very cool that you have such a wonderful hobby. When I was a child, my siblings and I used to attend a sports summer camp and archery was one of the sports. I remember it being fun but also needing incredible patience (no, I don't have any! LOL ) and upper arm strength.

LOL Upper arm is strong enough - the rest is problematic. But if I want to be successful, I have to restrain myself. However I often use a vocabulary ... not suitable för a woman, I think! *Grins*
