What, where and why
I'm so pleased to say after a boiling hot and long weekend at Overton, I'm officially the Senior Lady British Field Champion of 2018! First day I shot really strong coming in with a fairly decent score that ranked me 2nd by one point, and then today, despite the roasting weather and the steep slopes, I shot really strong and managed to take first despite being neck and neck all day with Kayleigh and Lisa! I'm so happy with my shooting this weekend, last weekend I was on a bit of a low and I'm so so pleased with how my process and shooting turned out overall. Overton lived up to expectations and was a bit tough but it has put me in really good spirits knowing I can handle tough courses along with almost-hurricanes and boiling hot sun ☺️ thanks to Kayleigh and Lisa for such a lovely day today, it was tense at times and I had such a laugh with you guys. I also want to thank my lovely sponsors at Merlin Archery for all their support they have given me the past year and a bit ☺️ I know I always thank so many people in my posts but I'll keep this quick, but I just want to thank my parents as I really don't thank them enough. You guys live such stressful lives and you rush about like mad, but you have supported me with everything and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done, I love you lots ❤️ a huge congratulations to everyone who shot this weekend! Hopefully see you all soon, now looking forward to my first target shoot at Weatherby and then my exams (yay 🙃)

Well Daventry was interesting 😂 honestly not my best weekend shooting but definitely enjoyed it and learnt a lot! Despite not shooting at my usual standard I still managed to come home as Senior Lady English Champion and 3rd in the John Hartfield Memorial competition! A good weekend with lots to learn and focus on after my exams as well as having a laugh beating Dad and Luke at Bowls Saturday night 😉 well done to everyone who shot over the weekend and successfully managed to survive the heat! Also a massive thank you to my sponsors Merlin Archery for your support!
#merlinarcherydurham #nervesofsteel #itsmint Good weekend at Ballands! First time shooting the course and it went pretty decent! Unmarked day was fairly decent and I shot alright, however today on the marked wasn't so good. After (foolishly) sitting in proper strong sunlight I started to feel quite ill and didn't shoot as strong as I could've for the next few targets. But apart from this my mental process was good and my shots were very strong and I eventually recovered and brought it back. Overall a decent weekend with a good score, as well as continuing to get better mentally by overcoming small obstacles that are no longer an issue for me, so it's been a pretty decent weekend in total ☺️😌 would just like to thank Lizzy Rees and the rest of Ballands crew for holding an amazing shoot! Some really good shots in the course and lovely scenery (as well as making cracking cuppas at the tea tent 😉😂). Would also like to thank my target companions Michaela, Victoria and John for a good weekend as well as looking after me when I felt like I was going to faint 😂😭 a HUGE thank you to Gloria and Gerald for letting me and my dad stay with them for the weekend, you've helped us out loads and have supported us both (with shooting and non-shooting things) and I can't thank you enough! Also (I have a lot of people to thank 😂) a huge thank you to my sponsors at Merlin Archery Durham for their support! When I had to do an emergency visit up there for some extra bits it was such good service and it was lovely to see everyone! Was seen to straight away and it's such lovely staff, so thank you for everything you're a huge help ☺️ thanks to dad for the photos, Luke for just being Luke (lol) and Colin for the bants 😂 was a really nice weekend and was great to see everyone! Bring on the next shoots and then exams 😂😭💪🏻
