There is reason to celebrate however I’m not happy =S.
Today I had my 25 Meter 1 Arrow Championship.
My first set of arrows were:

Which was good since I stayed out of the blue zone, everything was 7 or higher.

(sub)Totalling 221 points.
Now, ok I did shoot more points, BUT I entered the blue zone, and when that happened I was angry.
Now … I had a total of 438 points…..
Tied for 1′st place!!!…
but =/ my opponent had scored 13 “10″s where I only scored 12.
=S which sucked even more, cause IF I didnt shoot that 6, but a 7 (it was just on the border =/ which makes it even worse)
I would have been 1st.
So…. when you see me. you will be looking at the “almost dutch champion 25m1p”.
Wot DA FOK….
A few days ago I recieved this letter… saying I was invited for the BK 25m1p.
Damn! I now belong to the top 10 (of my class) archers of the Netherlands on 25m1p…
well.. 29th is my competition, wish me luck :p
YAY!
Today I had a club competition….
“Real Ogio”… for only club people.
30 arrows per distance, 3 distances (18,25 and 30 meters).
After 90 arrows most people got really really tired, as did I.
I made it ranked 3rd into the Semi-Finals based on my scores.
There I went on a winning streak and got myself a GOLD medal!
WOOT!
I’ve uploaded all the important photos made by me (and friends).
Unfortunately I’ve lost a few albums in the past so don’t have those anymore.
But, there’s plenty to go around; and even more yet to come.
Hurry up and click the gallery button and go look for yourself!
Oh yeah… Lets see.. how this works…
Video of me shooting my bow placed on YouTube…
Today I had the district competitions B rank recurve with my team.
Unfortunately we had our “ups and downs” at about the same time.
This ment that on score we performed much worse than the 1st half.
We did not get placed in the finals with a difference of 1 point
Guess I should’v trained a bit more to up my average a little bit more.
Some of my time is being taken away by me shooting my bow…
I started somewhere around December 2008 with archery.
Now, about 2 years later I’ve had my 1′st district championship.
Even thou it’s just Class 6… (with A being Highest, followed by: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
I’ve managed to have quite a successful outcome.
With 460 points I’ve placed myself 11th out of 16
However in the finals I managed to work my way up to a 4th place.
My first competitor was a 6th ranked person on points,
in 12 arrow’s he scored 100 points, and so did I; a shoot-off followed
He shot an 9, and I scored an X (inner 10).
My second competitor was a 14th ranked person.
He was performing better than in the rankings matches.
However I beat him with a score of 92 points versus his 85. (think he saw me shooting a near perfect X in my shoot-off)
My luck however then ran out, I got placed versus the 2nd ranked.
I realised at that moment that I had a shot for 3rd place or even higher.
Missed the target completely once and lost about 7 points.
If I did not miss that shot I might have become 3rd or even 2nd.
His score of 85 was enough to beat my 79 points (with 1 of my arrows scoring 0 points rather than my average 7)
so don’t have those anymore.
