Glad I don't use pencils often

I shot my first full FITA, today, in preparation for shooting my second full FITA at the tournament this weekend. It turns out that 144 arrows in a day is a lot, and the fingers of my left hand are not happy about it. Things I learned:

- The secret to shooting well at close distances is to first shoot at farther distances. Every time I moved the target closer, it just looked so big!
- Keep your anchor in the same place, goddammit, and you can in fact be competetive. But not if it keeps drifting to the side.
- There is no forgiveness for bad sighting at 90 meters. There is only looking for arrows.

So. My goal for the tournament this weekend is 1000, even if the score needed to really be competetive is more like 1200. My goal for the next month is to shoot better at USIACs than this weekend.
