Friday was more about getting used to a 'normal' target again, after weeks of Worcesters, than it was about recording scores - mostly I was getting 4-arrow ends in (sometimes 5) as there were a couple of slow-shooting rookies on the line.
I was also held back by a head-cold & a VERY painful muscular thing between ribs & hips on the right side, a new aspect of fibro I assume.
Nevertheless I'd guess I was still shooting something north of 500 (Portsmouth).
One of the most pleasing things was that my
Bodgit International repair to the armguard actually survived the session! I used Bohning Fletch-Tite to attach, then trim, a couple of vanes to the string-side & a piece cut from one of those oblong 'milk bottle' boxes (from the Tawant sight, I think) to the arm-side. I'll still need a new one as soon as finances allow ofc but at least I have a little time to spare now. I'm thinking of a
Beiter one, unless anyone has any good reasons why not?
Another 'discovery' was that whereas the green (shibby) fibre is much better than red for the Worcester, the reverse seems to be true for Portsmouth.
The coach took a few pics of me 'in action' in the new shirt, and with the plate & medal from Green Lane. I did get a minor hard time for the amount of fingerprints on the plate
