Looking very good there Atti. Smooth as always.

Just watch out for cupid though, I hear he is an even better shot than you are.

That quote fully explains your new hobby But do you also have a movie where we can see the target. The style of your archeryskills looks nice but i think you are shooting them all way off target, aren't you

In the evening one you were aiming for the right hand target weren't you.

Do you rob from the rich and give it to the poor in your spare time?

Nice to see you found something that you enjoy Atti. Now, learn to do it from a moving car that's drifting around the Nordschleife and it will be just about the best thing i have ever seen

Hehe that's really cool Atti
Have you bought the bow, the arrows and the targets and if so, how much were they? Or do you do this at a special place?

Wow

You look very brave with new Baby-bow I like

Just one question - why all time when you are before the camera you have only 3 arrows? this is what is enough for time while camera is workimg? Or this is your magic number?

In the video 18 meters from a 40 cm target, indoor competition dimensions, and if a recall right that serie scored a point if 24. Usually i am around 20-25 points, until i am getting tired. Yesterday i made my first competition like shooting for 60 arrows, scored a total of 426 pts, still a way to go, i want to be above 500, quite a challenge yet, but i will get there.
(for the pictures as it is explained in the ext you quoted)

For the question of the lady ( ) in competition they are shooting 3 arrow sequences.
