4 Apr 1628: Commissioners are appointed (under a 33 Hen VIII law) to boost #archery#otd They paid 1s per new bow cut. The scheme ended 1631 in a scandal.
#WordWeavers 2404.01 — MC POV: Write a Mastodon introduction post.
#Introduction I'm really new to the #Mastodon thing, but Her Highness told me I had to do this and taught me how. Everyone at school calls me their "Wild Woman," thus my @WildWomanOfFellWoods handle. I'm becoming used to that because it's true. I've lived amongst #wolves since I was 7 with the Blue Feathers pack, so I'll be posting lots of #wolf spark renders, like the one of Mother Wolf below. (Read the ALT text.) She's the third white wolf in that role because people live longer. I #hunt with #knives, but am learning #archery because I'm not yet a provider for the pack. I can't run as fast as they can, so I use my #knife once they've brought down the prey. My #gift is befriending #beasts. I can speak with them and they become smarter. I'm not sure if the effect is just on those beasts I've met, or if it spreads. If you've noticed wolves being smarter or more friendly to people, please private message me! If you want to. Not trying to impose. This goes with red #dragons. I befriended the one all over the news who burnt up the farm—and, no, she wasn't going to burn up the capital! She sneezed. Next to a grain silo. 😅 Nevertheless, if another shows up and turns out friendly, let me know! Sorry. I don't have any #dragon pictures. You can ask me about dragons, though. I also do #modeling, so you've probably seen me in a magazine. Yeah. I'm that #model. I won't post pictures, though, because I'd have to CW. But you can ask about that. I'm #shy so I don't do meet ups.
I’m here to make friends and be part of a larger community.
I don’t view things as good vs bad. There’s not always a victim, villain, and savior. Life is much more complex than that. For that reason, I’m not one to assume ill-intent. I love to learn new things.
New bow came! #Alibow, Tibetan style, #60 at 29 inches and it's a beast to string! Unfortunately my neck is still sore from a few bad form pulls on my part so I'm going to heal up a bit before shooting it.
#archery Hi all, I am looking for a good sturdy arrow rest. I shoot recurve with carbon/alu arrows and I am open for suggestions.
I was thinking like something this:
I'm interested in your #archery stories regarding how you got involved in the sport. What got you interested? What barriers for entry did you experience? What keeps you shooting? What caused you to lapse?
An update on my #archery adventure progress to see how far I can go at field archery with my ridiculously cheap $200 compound bow.
I discovered that the Chinese company who make my bow, make a thumb button release as well, so I had to try one. For science!
First time I shot a Portsmouth round (60cm at 20 yards) yesterday. Trying to get a score to send in for the #virtualarcheryleague managed 470 which is a bit better than I expected with my new Baltic Bows Erglis longbow. I guess that means we are getting used to each other already.
