The Lefty Dilemma

Time flies when I'm shooting my bow. I am concentrating so much on repeating each aspect that gives me bulls eyes that before I know it I've shot for an hour. I'd like to shoot more but I do have a house and family to take care of-they definitely come first!

I'm definitely hitting the target a lot more (knock on wood!) And I get several bulls eyes each session but I am still pretty close to the target. But I want to get 2 more hay bales, one to raise it off the ground and another to put behind the back. I rarely go into the woods now to hunt for arrows.

I'm having a hard time squaring up to the target. Maybe it's because it still moves a little with each arrow. The ground slopes, the hill slants off another way...I don't think my husband would be to interested in grading it for me. But he does need to mow-the grass is pretty long back there thanks to all the rain a few weeks ago.

Until I can shoot there, hehe, or at a decent outdoor range, I'll just close my eyes dream that everyday I wake up and shoot for hours on end at this place.

I've realized that I am most likely shooting with a right handed finger tab. Just inside out. Brilliant I know. I realized that in all the pro pictures I see, they have a spacer between their pointer and middle fingers and mine was on the inside of my tab...while theirs is on the outside. So it's not a shelf for my chin at anchor point. It's a spacer for my fingers which would probably affect the flight of my arrows for the better. I already asked my husband for this tab and he wasn't too happy to cough up more money. But it could last me years. And I could order the lefty version. I think I'll tell him about my right handed tab dilemma tonight and maybe the fact that it is the wrong one can help him understand. This world makes everything right handed by default and us lefties fly in the face of default! I didn't choose my left handedness-I just live with it and I wouldn't change it if I could.
