As you know, if you have been following along, I am getting more solid at 20 yards, but 30 and 40 yard distances are total hit or miss lucky crap shoots. Except that this time... Ohh... this time I may have missed abominably, but the whopping few times I hit the target, they were bullseyes!
At 40 yards during royal scoring rounds I got 2 almost dead center. Being my first, then last of a 6 arrow round, I figure it is because I stopping thinking and just let my body do it's job. At 30 yards I did it again once. with the rest of the 6 arrows peppering the edges for no score. So that was 15 points just at 30/40! My best at 30 and 40 yards has been 8 points.
Unfortunately, at 20 yards and speed round I did not do as well as usual, but I still had a grand total of 38 at the end of royal point rounds that day! 38!! A new best ever!
I also received my Bowman rank belt favor and tassel fro our Captain of archers. Hooray! I am officially a Bowman! Now, to work towards Yeoman. 45 points.... I need to work on my 30 and 40 yards.

The grey shafts with colorful fletching are mine. This was the 40 yard target.
