Oh boy!

Oh boy it has been a while, I have only managed to shoot about 6 times this year and it shows. I finally got back to the club last Wednesday and I took along an old pair of winstar wood/carbon limbs that I have not used since I got my revolution, the idea was to use them just to get my form back as they are only 26lbs I can pretty much hold at full draw while I work out where everything is and really take my time over the draw, settle down and then release. Well it was a good job I took them as when after about six dozen I put my Tomcats back on and even though they are not madly heavy at 34lbs I could only shoot about a dozen and then had to stop (boy how quickly you lose condition), and I used to shoot an Albion and hardly feel it.
So it is back to the light limbs and  I must say I have enjoyed the last couple of times that I have got to the club. Even in just two sessions I can feel the rust falling away as the old habits come back, the only thing that I have really had to work on is keeping my elbow down.
So the plan now is to shoot these limbs over the autumn and winter and do a bit of training at home (yes I had stopped that as well ....bad Tony bad Tony!) and then early next year get the Tomcats back on and up to speed for the outdoor season.

So we'll see how that goes best laid plans and all that.
