The Tepid EmperorNew limbs, new “candy cane” string, new quiver and extra arrows. Now pulling 29lb. Outdoor season starts afresh… bring on that Bowman classification. Oh, and an outdoor competition booked. #archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB
Following a nineteen year gap… I’ve been shooting now for just over a year. Half a dozen badges, three county championship competitions, two club records and zero injuries (shoulder). I think I can safely say “I am an archer”! #Archery #RecurveArcher #ArcheryGB

Another nice thing about our archery range is the resident flock of red rumped parrots.
I can, currently, just about cram all of the kid's and my archery gear into one Legend XT-720 archery backpack. I can cycle with this on my back, but it is pretty heavy and bulky.
That is why I'm interested in the Burley Travoy bicycle trailer, which is basically a two wheel hand trolley that can attach to your bike: https://burley.com/en-in/products/travoy
I think I could strap the archery backpack straight to the trailer, which would take the load off my back and make the ride to and from the range even more pleasant. Bonus, the Travoy folds down small for storage, so wouldn't take up much space while not in use.
Archery practice for me today, while the kid was getting coached as part of the club's juniors group.
I'm getting some condition back so had much less difficulty with fatigue than I had last week, and got through 16 ends over an hour and a half or so. I'm still getting used to using the clicker, but I did hit mostly red at 30 metres distance which isn't too bad for me. I would like to be consistently hitting mostly gold though, which I have done in the past at this distance.
The kid and I cycled to and from the range today, we're really lucky to be within easy cycling range of the club. It's a really nice ride too, off road shared use paths almost the entire way. At 3.2 km on level ground each way it makes for a good gentle warm up and warm down.
HeddersSecondborn and I are off to a clout shoot! Much hilarity shall ensue. #Archery #HowFarAreYouKiddingMe
