Since I started shooting outdoors I haven’t shot indoors very much. I guess the extra distance and wind captivated me. But after a rough outdoor season in 2009 I decided to give indoors another look for 2010. “Why not?” I figured, ” It’ll be a good test for outdoors.”
So I signed up for Vegas and Indoor Nationals in Tulare, CA. Next I built a bow, mentally prepared myself for the tournaments, and took a leap of faith. All that was left was to see where I’d land.
My performance in Vegas wasn’t much to shake a stick at, and I became very motivated. I went to Tulare on a personal vendetta.
I started my first day with a 60 arrow competition personal record of 573. With more confidence on Sunday I broke my 30 arrow competition record with a 295, then I finished with a new 60 arrow best of 584. Overall I finished with 1157 for the whole weekend.
Turning to outdoors now, we’ll see where I land. But at least I know I’m starting on my feet.
