Archers on CS

Postby Greenleaf » Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:18 pm

Anyone else take archery on here? :) I recently started archery today, and though I'm not the best, I still love it ;)
I just don't know what is my drawstring weight. Thirty pounds is way too much for me ('tis practically half my body weight).

Archery is very interesting, in my opinion. I would like to get into it sometime. Is it hard?

Not too difficult, on my opinion, only it's the sheer weight of the drawstring that throws me off every time.

Been doing archery for about a decade, now. Not so much lately, spare time is rare, but I still enjoy it occasionally.

I use a large longbow. Not sure of all the technical terms, I just do it for fun, enter local tournaments every once in a while.
I was hacked. Not going to remake all my groups and such unless I feel like it. That's a lotta work. Don't bother with trades, everything's a mess.

I love archery! I've been doing it for 4-5 years now (I think!). At the camp I go to every summer, I've earned my first and second awards. I don't have much time for archery during most of the year, but summer is all open! My only problem is that my left eye is dominant for aiming, and I shoot right handed so I have to work harder to line up my aim. I tried using a left handed bow a few times, I'm just not as strong that way. But it's still one of my favorite activities.

Wow. I feel very young and inexperienced next to you guys XD
I just need help figuring out my drawstring weight, though. Can you guys help? :3
And I'm also left-eye dominant. :what: it got me when I found out, as I am practically blind in that eye. But being left eye dominant and right handed doesn't hinder me much.

I am an ambidextrous archer I can shoot left handed or right handed. I teach archery at a girls summer horse camp under my camp name Legolas :D
