Daily practice at 15 yards

My back yard has only 15-20 meters range, yet it is very important to shoot daily to train muscle strength and good form (muscle memory).

Natalia's 30# lbs recurve bow has only up to about 20 years of effective range, or rather a flat trajectory, which for rabbits and grouse might be plenty good.

I shoot in backyard to practice my form and to work up the strength to shoot my hungarian/mongol 100# bow. I shoot compound bow (65#-85#) to strengten my left hand (lifting and stabilizing my aim) and traditional recurves (45#, 55#, 100#) bow to strengthen my right hand and back muscles.


Natalia has missed Sheltie 6 times in the row! Lucky dog!

“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
