Back To Archery

Looks like an arrow to me.

Just got done with a archery lesson with Catherine y Dana. They haven’t shot in three years, for this reason or that, but they are back in the saddle. And they did great for all that time. There is a lot of muscle memory that develops that is hard to forget. It’s sticks with you because it is beyond thinking.

We just worked at close range, 10 yards. Have to work on safety and getting the gear sorted out, making sure that everything fits. And working along tweaking here and there getting the form organized. They enjoyed the session and we quit before they were tired which is important too.

There is always a lot of attention paid to the target and whether there are hits or misses. The coach watches the shooter though and is more interested in that. When the shooter gets organized the target gets organized. That’s how it works when you are not longer trying to “luck them in” but are doing things consistently.

That reminds me that one of my walkers on Camino last week was inquiring about lessons for her and her daughter. I will have to email back to her when my schedule settles out.

Sunday afternoon walk coming up here in a few minutes.

beyond thinking loves, Felipé.
