“Names have power”

I know, why do you think my bow, arrows, net, range and target all have names?

How am I meant to be the best archer in the midrealm if my archery equipment doesn’t have names?

My arrows are named

Rusty

Pointy

Sharpy

Pride flag

Gay

Loosey

Brooky

Nocky

Tippy

Bob

Scratch

Chey

Shafter

My bows named David(Bowie) and the string is named stringy!

My arm guard is flame

My old range was the leaning tower of archery, my new range is hinge

My net is Nancy

And my targets are strawy and greeny!

Episode 93 – Applying the archers triangle when coaching

Shooting my 40# (64") Old Mountain Mesa.

It's a hybrid (so not quite flatbow but not recurve). Good power and efficiency while still having the flatbow feel to it. I wanted something that would zip without losing the flatbow style I had learned to shoot with.

Just spent 4 days working on this, made a medieval archery target. While I saw many were often made of straw, I've also noticed a number of ones others had online made of coiled rope. Ended up being $26 for the rope and twine, and is two layers thick here (two of these coiled circles sewed together). I can't say stitching 1" thick rope together with twine and a huge needle is overly exciting or fun, I'm glad I have a good target now instead of just shooting a haybale.
