New training plan.

Not to be outdone, the universe has thrown little opportunities in front of my insane ideas. The Blue Heron tournament is in nine weeks - October 24-25 at Woodley Park, in Van Nuys. I think that two months is enough to get back into shape for a FITA, if I really make sure I get stuck to it. I just need a way to stick to it.

Step one: Shoot every day. This means shooting before work, this means getting up somewhat earlier than usual. I've been able to do this before, certainly, I just need to make sure to get to bed earlier as well - and not give up on it. So I'll be loud-tweeting my arrow counts and you all get to hold me responsible for them.

Step two: Equipment maintenance. Melody is horribly out of tune, my fletching is crinkly, and I can single out at least three pieces that need out-and-out replacing. One thing I can do, though, is make a backup string and get it started stretching out.

Step three: Find my freaking sight marks again. I'm kinda scared of how far off they may be. Even worse, I don't really trust the distance markers at the Morley Field range (never mind that it doesn't technically go to 90m). So this means finding some weekend when I can take a road trip, either to El Dorado in Long Beach or to Claremont (or even to Woodley, for that matter) and nailing them in.

Step four: Show up and shoot. It'll be fun.
