What a good way to start the new year with a friendly day down at the range.
Some arrows fly straight in, some others dwell lazy on the side. A bright sun and a lovely sky to warm temperatures in this peaceful bank holiday.
That unique feeling of peace, of belonging, that only archery can give you.
The perfect occasion to test new elements of the bow, to do some tuning or to have a warm drink and enjoy the sun. A chat, a smile.
An arrow. And then another. Again. And again and again. The wonderful magic of archery.
Stiffness might get in the way… Muscles might not behave as they should. Or anchors may not be there to be found (that silly anchor!!!).
But it’s refining the shot that counts, not hitting a ten.
Ultimately, there is greater happiness to be found in shooting for the beauty of express than for the sake of hitting a mark.
So, how can we explain the godly marvel of Archery to the rest of the world?
