Having dabbled in archery as a child, I took it up again a couple of years ago, and found I loved it.
For the first 9 months or so after going back on the introductory course, I would go to the range 2-3 times a week, shooting 30-40 ends each time. I invested in quite a nice recurve bow, second hand, and ended up with a PB of about 540 (if memory serves) on a Portsmouth at 20 metres, at the height of my ability about 6 months in.
However, SWMBO then came back from an enforced 6-month stint in NZ, work picked up, and before I realised, I wasn't going any more. I haven't pulled the bow out of the bag in nearly a year, and I think I need to get back into it to amortise the initial outlay!
Anyone else an archer?
Some former glories...
