Started Phase 1 last Thursday which is 500 bullseyes and 9 out of 10. I slung 55 arrows, 5 were warmups with my eyes closed going through my steps. Shot 37 bullseyes from 5 feet out of 50, not to good. Try some more on this Monday and Tuesday…

Sorrells exercise number 2, well I have now shot 900 arrows going through my steps with my eyes closed, just 100 left. Hopefully I will accomplish this on Monday… Then the next exercise begins, what it is is shooting bullseyes from numerous distances the first of which is 5 feet 500 times then on to the next distance which I think is 10 feet 500 times etcetera etcetera… So I probably wont be shooting any tournaments this year, and maybe if I keep after it I will be ready for the first tournament on March of 2027 wish me Good Luck, and pray that I have enough perseverance to complete my tasks before me now…

Lampe has started a new physical fitness program trying to get into a different shape besides round. Also I got scared the other day at Addiction Archery. I was shooting with my eyes closed at a very closeup target when I was about to release my arrow and the father of these 2 boys hollered at me to hold up. His youngest son had ran down into the targets area and was retrieving his arrows. Needless to say this shook me up quite a bit. Took a little while to calm down. But an update on my progress I am at 500 archery shots now and am planning to shoot another 100 today and tomorrow also. Ive got a shoot that I want to particepate in coming up soon…

Thank you for the advice Richard Roop I will take any and all. Bow Training Update 7/1/26: Currently I am training by reading the book “Beginners Guide to Traditional Archery by Brian J. Sorrells.” Part of the training is going through the process and doing them with your eyes closed for 1000 arrows. After yesterday I am 200/1000 of being done. This book is right up my ally as I am very task oriented. Today is my day off I am working on reviving my 1987 Full Size Bronco after giving my son the Bronco and he let him (Bronco -Rosco) sit for almost 3 years!!! Putting in new fuel pump, inline gas filter, and new harmonic balancer today… wish us good luck we dont make any mistakes…

Bow Training Update 6/30/26: Went yesterday to Addiction Archery in Harrisonville Mo where I purchased a year membership. Anyway i am teaching myself muscle memory currently by shooting into a target less than 10 feet away. Going through my steps and hoping that I am doing the steps the correct way, especially keeping good form… I shoot a Bear Grizzly 50LB recurve… I felt good after shooting 50 arrows, of which I now have a total of 125/1000. So a little over 10% toward my goal of 1000 arrows for muscle memory…
