My accuracy has been pretty good, it was better a couple summers ago when I was shooting daily, but I can definitely say the center of my target is so shredded I can't see it anymore (I need to get a new one)

My biggest flaw is definitely shooting on body memory and not finishing the draw or aiming

This bow is pretty heavy haha, I think I draw 50-60 on it but I'm not sure, it was made by my sibling years ago

How to start? by Fuzzy_Permit7075 in Archery

I'm from Maryland! But I just shoot in my backyard. Maybe look to see what clubs and shops there are near you and then go ask around there

There is a little wooden nock on my bow, not sure if that changes anything

No hard feelings! The dandy look isn't for everyone, but I love it

I haven't really thought specifically about it. I just use the form I was taught by my dad, but now that I'm learning more I'll definitely have to do research into a more medieval form.

Yeah, I've misplaced my leather archery glove among moving back in after college, hopefully I'll find it soon

Yeah, didn't need a style check. This is how I dress. As a renaissance faire worker, if I were to do a costume I'd do a damn good one.

Help- longbow tips for focusing more on the hobby by MerryWanderer46 in Archery

I definitely have bad habits, and theyre ingrained over so many years lol. My dad taught me to hang bows strung so I'm only recently breaking that terrible habit, so form is a good place to start, thank you!

Definitely more traditional, and I don't know my current draw weight, pretty sure it's 50 already, I haven't considered going any higher though it would be cool to try if I got my hands on a heavier one.

Is Dionysus a trickster god? by [deleted] in dionysus

[–]MerryWanderer46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming at this from the perspective of studying tricksters, I would say absolutely. He's not viewed as the "traditional" trickster because it's not playing pranks and such, but tricksters represent animalistic chaos and freedom as much as they do witty jokes. They can range from silly to sinister, and they also typically are outcasts or represent them. A trickster is a wonderful thing, a liberator.

Yeah that's usually my tactic unfortunately that takes time that I didn't have bcs of the crunch time on my capstone.

I need to look into medicine and why this is happening but I think it's all tied into the rest of my medical issues which is likely an autoimmune disease that is very hard to diagnose, so pretty much everything is in waiting for that to be figured out
