Currently listening to: In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel
So here i am, at like almost 9pm, getting back from an archery tournament. Oh my effing gosh...it was incredibly HOT!!! And no, that's not that "that's hot" kind of hot. Tt's the "fry an egg on the sidewalk" hot. But all in all, i think i did pretty well. I got to shoot with a first time archer who's this time around was his first tournament and an ancient one who was one of the original founders of the club. It was pretty chill hanging out with him and listening to him speak. He is an amazing person. Super cute too~!!! 4laugh But I still love my Daniel. biggrin With every bit of my heart and soul.
But yeah, for the first time in, oh say 8 years, I got sunburned. I normally dont unless it's efftastically hot. And it was. xD Standing outside in the hot sun from 8am to about 4pm with an hour break in between. Yeah, we could sit in the shade. But that was at 4min or 6min intervals and that's not that much at all. crying I'm not complaining because I love archery and i love to shoot. If my body could take it, i'd shoot all day in the sun. But alas, we have limits. So i didnt shoot for that long.
I shot relatively well. At the 60 meter mark (I shoot 70 meters first, then 60, then 50, then 30), my equipment started having all sorts of issues. First, my nocking point was HUGE because the top part moved up...somehow... So that caused a good part of my arrows to go low, no matter how low i put the sight. And this was at 60 meters and it never, ever had to go that low and even aim higher to hit the target. So i noticed that problem a good few arrows into it so i got it fixed. The second problem was my sight coming loose. This wasnt a huge deal, but it did mess up that end. And we shoot 6 arrows at this distance so all 6 were all asdflkja;sdfkj. But that was easy to fix.
After the first day, i ended up going to my love's sister's grad party. x3 It was awesome because the food was awesome. xD I got to see him as a wittle kid!!! So cute!!! xD There was this big portrait of his senior self that he looked so cute and i wanted it. xD He has yet to scan it... -_- But all in all, i had fun.
It was only up until the second day, (70m and 60m on Saturday, 50m and 30m today) where i really started competing. I was just shooting so well and i learned something new too that will take some practice to push through the pain biggrin But it's worth it because it's helping my shots A LOT. So yeah, needless to say, today was the best.
But yeah, this weekend was heavy. Got some studying to do for a test tomorrow. xD Oh man, everyone is going to see my awesome sunburn. They may complain about the heat, but i was directly in it during the entire weekend. So yeah, ta! heart
