My most recent archery event

Yesterday, or Sunday the 13 of September, depending on how long it took me to publish this, I had another archery competition. This was my first one in a while, so I was a bit nervous about it at first, but it was no big deal once I got started. I was in piazzola 20 with Mr. Lucaroni and Alessio. There were 20 targets, so we started at the last one and wound our way around to the 19th one. It was a lot of fun. There was one target where a sword was held up by a mechanism involving a tile, and when you broke the tile and the sword fell, you got points (depending on how many arrows it took). The second target we shot at, I managed to hit the very edge of the target, (it was supposed to swing backwards and fall) catching on a couple of threads, and pinning the block up. Surprisingly they decided that counted as 15 points (it was a special target); even the judge declared it fair. I would have pulled the arrow out so that the target was free and then shot my second arrow, but hey, who am I to complain? I'll explain some of the targets with pictures (taken off Facebook); it's a lot easier.

I had a great deal of trouble with this target because I hadn't shot at a far target in a long time.












Mr. Lucaroni managed to hit one arrow in both the 5 and 8 point areas 


It is really easy to break arrows on targets like these
