Today, I needed a break from the constant work and went to the 25 yard indoor archery range.
It is a really good exercise to shoot couple of hundred arrows, you can actually break a sweat and feel muscles hurting afterwards, especially when you shoot 60# (pound) bow.
I shoot at the paper target, but soon I discovered it is so much more fun to kill the frog.
I could not find a noticeable difference between my 31 inch and 28.5 inch arrows. I think the real feather arrows shoot a little more accurate than plastic vanes, but minimally.
Also, the bow shoot very straight and I used the almost same aiming mark as I do in my 8 yard basement range. The arrows penetrated about 6 inch @ 25 yards into the foam target, when at home they go in 13 inches @ 8 yard into the same type of material.
Also, I made progress with my strength being able to shoot for quite a long time, however my draw length still stinks and it is too short.
