My wife shot a 281 of 300 at Nite Owl on Tuesday! On only her third shoot! I think she topped all but a couple of our best archers, and one of them is a pro. My best score ever is 277, but that was in practice. Not in the dark, not with thunder.

I'm immensely proud of her.

Man, I’m slacking with my updates. Work has gotten busier, which I guess is a good thing. That’s not entirely why I’ve been quiet. I’m simply feeling unmotivated of late. With everything. I can’t seem to bring myself to do anything, things I must nor things I like. Everywhere I go and all I do feels so forced. I tend to withdraw when I’m not ( Read more... )

Ever have one of those days where you flat out don't give a fuck? About anything? I don't feel like doing anything and I don't care what becomes of it. I can't come up with any particular reason.

5/13/05 - Following the suggestion of a fellow on the archery board, I switched my release around to use the clicker. This causes the release to click just before it is ready to fire. The only problem is, a click just at the moment of release makes me think it is the release! Muscles immediately want to relax. Good thing I was there alone. I would ( Read more... )

Who the fuck keeps cranking up the A/C? I go from hot flashes to shivering. My nipples hurt from reacting to all the weather changes. Just leave the thermofuckingstat the fuck alone!

5/10/05 - Not a good night last night. It started out ok, then suddenly I started getting quick releases. How can you do something the same way 50 times in a row and be unable to do it a 51st? No matter what I tried after that, the release fired waaaay too soon. I ended up adjusting the release, though I shouldn't have had to change the release to ( Read more... )

I'm afraid to touch anything in the office anymore for fear of electrocution. If I am near any metal object, a bolt of lightning is sure to arc out and stop my heart. Door handles, those little screws on light switch cover plates, steel drywall corner beads, all are deadly. But worst of all is the plotter. Two screws on the paper lockdown handles ( Read more... )

Because everyone was wondering, this is what an 80 yard target looks like:

I'm a little behind. Alright, I'm a big behind, but I really don't care. :-p

5/6/05 - I'm glad I didn't shoot two days in a row. Felt a bit sore, but made it through my 120 shots. Well, 123, to be precise. I seem to have added an extra end for some reason.

Total arrows shot to date: 606 (34542 lbs.)

5/8/05 - H and I walked the Nite Owl course ( Read more... )

5/4/05 - I could be saying this prematurely, but I'm starting to think this could really work. I shot another 120 arrows last night without stopping for a break. Before I began this exciting (read: excruciatingly boring) adventure, I'd be worn out before I made it to 60 arrows, though I'd take plenty of breaks. Moreover, I felt beat up for a day ( Read more... )
