Was out Friday night getting some practice in for the WA900. Plan was to shoot a dozen or so at 60m, then 50m then 40m – mostly to get used to the change in distance and put some work into my sight marks. Ended up at 60 metres for a bit longer than that as started off having a bit of a ‘mare through a combination of low sight marks and me not quite doing it right.
This is where I’m at, I’ve got a good thing going but haven’t quite trained my shot enough for it just to be natural in my sub-conscious. Obviously you don’t want to be trying to figure these things out in a comp, you need to hit the ground running.
More training needed, and I’m on it.
Following the session I felt really inspired so I got myself to the field the next morning and sighted in at 80 yards. The furthest I’ve :”ever” shot. It seems like a long way – see the picture.
All went well and I really had somer fun, even hitting X’s. So I’ve entered the Cleadon Open to shoot a Hereford round next Sunday – the day after the 900.
Something interesting is a good anchor point seems easier to achieve at longer distances. So will bear that in mind as something to play asroudm with when I’m next shooting at 50 metres.
