Well, I did plan to join the Guildford Archery Club and this blog was going to show my journey as I learn the sport of archery. But alas, when child number two arrived we decided not to persue this fun sport. SO - what to do about this blog. It seems a shame to delete it because it gets LOADS of hits, probably from real members of the Guildford Archery Club that are wondering who this mystery

Been moving house - intend to join the Guildford Archery Club very soon once I have sorted out all the boxes :)

Found this video on google which shows a recurve archery contest for Women back in 2004. It is good for people who don't know much about the sport and it shows the technique of these semi-professional archers.

Penny and I went to Archery for the last day of our introductory training with Guildford Archery Club. Today was the first introduction to competition rules and scoring. We were scoring with Imperial measurements which means: Gold - 9 points Red - 7 points Blue - 5 points Black - 3 points White - 1 point Metric is 1 - 10 from outer to inner ring as each colour is divided into two rings. So

Had a great time, scored many more golds. I lost count. Basically I was getting 75% in gold and 25% in red. One shot in gold was 2 mm from the central cross. Not bad considering we are even further away from the target today. I find myself becoming increasingly competitive, I heard that next week will be a contest, I am really looking forward to it which is completely unlike me. I will let you

OK - here are my basic instructions (it assumes you know what things are called) - please remember I am still a novice and am learning myself - I will correct things if they are wrong. Alway be VERY careful when stringing a bow, it can be dangerous if done wrong and you could seriously injure yourself.1) Assemble your limbs to the riser2) Take your strong and hook the LARGER loop over the TOP

First day learning how to shoot. I used a Quicks recurve training bow (TD-01 or 02 I think) and had a really fun time. On my first round of 3 shots I missed the target altogether, the next round I got one two the target (just). Then something clicked and I managed to get 11 golds! I hit the center of the target 11 times in a row! My last shot just an inch into the red circle. Wow! I really
