Well good news, ArcheryGB has released me so I can represent Estonia in this competition. www.3dfitalatina.com Last year GNAS or ArcheryGB as they now known refused to let me enter this tourney and was forced to watch from the sidelines as Estonia's Coach (VERY frustrating). I had a LOT of support and encouragement from the England team Coach and I don't think I would be shooting this year if it wasn't for this Man fighting in my corner. Cool guy just wish more people like him in UK's Archery. |

Good luck, let us know how it wet after the shoot. It would definately be frusterating to watch from the sidelines because of politics. |

http://archery.org/ Just got back from Italy and had a great time, the above link has the results and some pics. I have lots of my own pics and some video footage of the top Recurve and Longbows shooting the team event under pressure, need some time to download and set up a link for you guys to watch so give me a day to sort it out. I'll also give a report on the tourney and how it's run, just to give a teaser.....I won Longbow

http://www.archery.org/UserFiles/Docume ... IRSUMS.pdf This summary shows scores/rankings after each round (Longbows at bottom of page) didn't start off great and kept hanging in on the elimination rounds, once I figured in my head what I needed to do I was ok. You start of shooting 20 targets then down to 12 and the last two rounds only 4 targets which means it bloody easy to screw up. The tourney was held in the middle of the city and course were specially designed so the public\press could watch everything, very different from anything I've done before. 30m (33yards) is max distance for Recurves and Longbows, the closest shot was 3 yards. the 4 targets in the semi and final I estimate were around 15y raccoon, 30y large Deer, 24y Boar and 27y for Pronghorn all fairly straight forward to hit but with everybody watching adds and element of pressure hence the Frenchman missing the Boar, plus you have 60 seconds to reach the peg and shoot as soon as the last shooter steps away, for the team event of Compound, Recurve and Longbow it's 2 min for all three shooters, you have a judge with a stopwatch, go over the time and lose the score. posted so clips of Recurves and Longbows on Youtube just search 'Fita 3D Italy' and official pics on http://archery.org/ |

Wow. Sounds intense! I wanna play! Gotta love an archery event that caters to spectators. So reveal your mental processes. I'm always interested in how the mental game plays out in high pressure situations. Did you feel in control every shot? Did you have the urge to release as soon as you were on target? If so, what did you do to compensate, or to fix any issues? |
