Today I learned how to put trust my analytical skills in archery, a.k.a., properly using shooting gap aiming technique. As you may see on a first weasel 2D, I finally got how to work with my bow and set my bowhand properly. Weasel 1 from 11 meters, duck - 17 meters, Weasel 2 from a steep angle.

So, this has been a miserable few weeks for me scheduling s**t - and this week isn't over yet, seems a couple more things will fall through, yay! Ok, I'll cool it with sarcasm, it's making my headache worse. Here is my video of some alpacas to cheer us all up a little:
Relacja z lutego 2025 w moim łucznictwie, w tym droga przez pokonanie tzw. Target Panic.
Raport Łuczniczy 2/2025
W lutym zaszło wiele zmian w moim łucznictwie. Przede wszystkim, zmieniłem łuk na nowy (łuk wschodni stylu chińskiego, Hou Yi Vegh). Po drugie, zauważyłem że tzw. „Target Panic” ostatec…

I've almost won today's archery party, in Traditional Bow category. 2nd place of 5. Distance of 16,15 meters, WA 80 cm 6 Ring. If I didn't shoot two misses during 1st Range, I would propably won it... #archery #tradarchery #traditionalarchery
I've tried 40 cm FITA from 18 meters. Let's say, these were better results... #archery #traditionalhunter #tradarchery
Fuel up with coffee to boost up the stats, because caffeine is the ultimate power-up! ⁽ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵈᵒʷⁿˢᶦᵈᵉ⁾ #tiger #oc #coffee #archery #cupofcoffee #bowandarrow #simple #drawing #digital
My new, wooden arrows set. 19 spruce pieces, bought at bargain price of 300 PLN ("used only once, too soft for 20+kg longbow user"). Weight 27 grams, spine 45-50, 85 grain tips. Perhaps I'll switch to wooden arrows when my current carbon set will dimnish below 10 arrows... #archery #tradarchery
Shot from 5,5 meters (approx.), but still, nearby home. Fighting the Target Panic.
First day of fighting Target Panic. Shooting mostly at 5 meters, then at 9 m. Aside od controlling the hold at anchor for 3-5 second, I achieved results as following photos. Two first: at 5 m, the third at 9 m.
I'm for 99,99% sure, that I have a target panic in #archery. Most likely the third definition, according to Wikipedia (underlined): In other words, more training just to overcome TP. I wonder if shooting partially blinded (closing eyes after locking up my bowhand on target) might work...
My mean results from archery range (30 animal targets, IFAA Field scoring) from my previous bow, Oak Ridge Boga 35# flatbow. #archery
The Sims 1 finally got a digital release. It's a game that was basically begging for a modern rerelease and yet EA managed to fuck up even a task this trivial by putting in infinitesimal effort and asking 20 bucks for a 25yo game.
Truth! Ironsworn is free, I post community copies of Delve and Starforged to itch, and I am always happy to share a complimentary digital copy on request.
"I can't afford to buy an indie #ttrpg, so I can't play them!" This is your reminder that almost every single indie designer i know will just send you a copy if you email them and say "hey, I can't afford your game right now but i want to check it out!"
Co miesiąc będę opisywał ważniejsze rzeczy z mojego łuczniczego życia. Oto raport łuczniczy ze stycznia roku 2025. Między innymi to poważne treningi przed przyszłymi zawodami.
Raport Łuczniczy 1/2025
Nowy rok, nowy… cykl blogowy. Zdecydowałem, że będę co miesiąc przedstawiać swoją aktywność łuczniczą. Ważne momenty, rezultaty zawodów, inne kamienie milowe. Statystyki też jakieś będą, ale …

Może to nie jest 20/20 , ale równie przyłożyłem z tych 17 m.
Dzisiejsze wolne spędzam strzelając z łuku po urbexowym lesie, a ty?
Dzisiejsze (18.01) przejście ścieżki łuczniczej w klubie w Forcie Blizne. 386 pkt na 600, jest stabilnie.
My best of 3 arrows today and my dyspersion after 60 arrows. Trad-hunter bow, 16 m.
Seems I have a throat infection which - considering how much of my work AND leisure involved me talking - is just GREAT 😶 ... Now, so I feel a bit better, let me share a video of alpacas from the mini-zoo in the city park:
Shooting at winter is nice, just too cold for fingers. 4th January 2025, I've participated in internal archery sparing ( archery club) and tried to shoot accurately at sixteen 3D and sixteen 2D target, two arrows each. Let's say, I've got some numbers...
