Training Camps and stuff

I've had 2 squad training camps since my last update, both were excellent for different reasons. The December T/C was very interesting as Peter Suk loaned me a Fiberbow to evaluate. It's an amazing riser and the weight (or lack of it) felt wonderful.

After bringing it home and evaluating it for a month i came to the conclusion that while i would dearly love to have one it is just not financially viable for me. For a start i would have to buy 2 of them and at just under £500 each thats way over my budget, plus the arrows came out very weak so i would have to invest in a couple of sets of X10's as well..eeek so i'll be sticking with my Helix's until i win the lottery.

This last training camp was awesome as well as i have now cranked my bow up to 42.5lbs and it feels great. Both bows are now set up identically and are shooting very nicely. My shooting was very consistant and i came away full of confidence.

Also found out that we will be shooting in the Arizona Cup this year which i'm very excited about, i used to live in the States when i was full time game developing so it will be great to go back especially as some of my old workmates said they would come down to watch and catch up on old times. YAY!!
