The Gold Medalist for 100+ target and the Stolid Bull for 50.
Tori you are a remarkable archer. I know quite a few guys that would not take on 6+# riser for a field round. You are a strong shot. I will be looking forward to see your scores for the season. Best of luck.
Hey Rusty, thank you for that high praise. I try - not sure what the season will bring but I plan on enjoying myself no matter what.
Yes, I suppose the riser is heavy. But I have also shot Olympic recurve for a while, and lugging all that bling around on a HPX riser is around the same weight, and a lot more unwieldy.
I have taken to using a bow stand for all field rounds, so when I'm not shooting, I can just sit the bow down easy as that. And the shot process ... it's not too difficult - as you are holding the bow with two hands from the moment your draw hand touches the string, at least with my style. Much easier on the bow arm/shoulder. I have examined my movements as I shoot, and I make the action as economical as I can.
I guess being a professional rock-climber also helps, and I grew up on a farm so I'm no stranger to physicality. Looking forward to meeting you, I'm doing the 10 days in Yankton (guest shooter in the NFAA Nat's).
