since no one actually reads the student page (iv been watching the "views" counter for a few days and it aint moved!) i thought i might stick this stuff in here!

im shooting with strathclyde vs every other uni in scotland with an archery club, outdoors in edinburgh at herriot watt (i think) on saturday coming. not sure what kind of round it is but im not looking forward to sighting during the competition since iv never shot outdoors before.

and some older posts:

just back from the big scottish university indoors that included strathclyde, dundee, st andrews, robert gordons (aberdeen area), napier (edinburgh area) herriot watt (edinburgh area) and edinburgh uni (shooting at home).

strathclyde came 6th out of 7.
edinburgh came first and won just about all the prizes. i think we are a little bitter about them having a permanent range, big budget with alloy riser club bows and good coaching/they know what they are doing.

i shot a 492. would have been over 500 if we had been allowed a break but i got the shakes and was really hungry by the end. my first 3 dozen were around 105 each.

the backstop netting was comicaly rubbish: low poundage recurve arrows went straight through it, every time. it was similar to bed sheet cotton.

somehow i lost the padlock off my case. it was on it when i left the shoot, then 10pints of lager seemed to remove it somehow? i didnt take it off so i think it must have just fallen off. quality lock from the pound shop i guess.

for the aberdeen shoot we are all shooting at home and sending the scores off. big event for strathclyde is tomorrow afternoon at our normal practice.

(i got 501 for the above, my first 500+ since before xmas. i could regularly do it before xmas)
