Returning Stronger: My Journey to Finish the 2024 California Classic 1440 🏹 #archery #mentalhealth
One year ago, my equipment failed, and I walked away from the California Classic 1440. DNF: Did Not Finish. Now, I’m returning to the 2024 California Classic 1440, determined to finish what I started.
This tournament is held at my home range in Long Beach, but that doesn’t give me much of an advantage. Shooting across four distances, starting at 90 meters, I faced mental and physical challenges every step of the way.
This weekend was a reminder that archery is about more than just hitting the target-it's about overcoming the mental battles that come with the sport. Each arrow was a lesson in resilience and focus, and I’m taking those lessons forward as I continue to improve.
A bit shoutout and thank you to @504Plate , who has been helping me process some of these archery setbacks.
Thanks for watching and supporting my journey! Keep shooting for gold, and remember-no matter the obstacles, we can overcome them.

    There is no need for the clamp to be rounded and to have more contact with the arrow (10:45), it is enough to stick the spin wing to the arrow only until the clamp separates, and then the spin wing must be pressed against the arrow with finger. If the clamp were rounded, then a clamp would be needed for each arrow that has a different diameter. Anyway, your review is excellent.

      This particular one is longer, the riser is 27 inches instead of 25 inches. And it is “different” overall. Not better or worse. I never shot Hoyt before and the main issue I’ve been having is getting used to the grip it comes with.

      The chest guard (white protector on my left side) is for when I draw the bow and the string touches the left of my chest… depending on the shirt I am wearing, I need the string to touch and feel the same with every shot. In a windy day, a looser shirt can cause the bow string to catch and cause the arrow to fly funny… with a chest guard, shots are more consistent.

    What difference will it make if it spins more or less??

    • @bobbynishi
      @bobbynishi 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      More spin - arrows correct faster but slow down. The correcting faster is more "forgiving" making for more consistent shots. In exchange, we lose speed, which can cost points when it's really windy. Too much spin can cause a "parachute" effect which makes arrow flight pattern unpredictable. Less spin - arrows fly faster, but correct less. Faster might be better in windy or rainy shoots, but can also be less forgiving.

    • @bobbynishi
      @bobbynishi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately this is not a popular sport. So manufacturers can’t rely on volume for their sales. And this is cutting edge metal machining and composite material development. As a result, these can get very pricey. There are less expensive options as well. This is the same make/model bow that our national team is going to the olympics with. I have less expensive bows that are really nice. I learned the sport through those. This bow I hope to have and use for many years to come… in other sports, you often have to keep buying new gear more often than for archery.

    I have downloaded Joel Turner's online course. It is helping me cure my problems. It's the only one that makes sense when you listen. I retake the course all the time. You keep the course for life and I keep returning to it. However I think you might have hit on what started me down the shot anticipation path.. Many years ago I had a 65lb English longbow break at full draw while I was in my zone. It hit me across the the forehead and dam near knocked me out. I was after that taking up field shooting in the UK. I found going through small tree gaps very difficult and my arrows would always strike the trees and break. It was after this I discovered that I had been given the wrong advice regarding arrow spine. This was all 45 years ago. I now think this was the trigger. Determination and concentration through spoken thoughts is the way forward

      @bobbynishi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for sharing… that sounds like a big physical trauma. And I am glad you have a path forward. Sometimes songs and picturing other arches (or videos of myself) shooting really help me keep the words I tell myself meaningful with every arrow. It wasn’t till later last year that I finally started to enjoy tournaments again to the point that I am looking forward to them. If there is a specific Joel Turner course you recommend, please share. I’d love to update and add more topics that I rarely hear people talk about… I am reading “Breath” for the next episode about breathing and presence… and I have to redo the arrow spine video (footage wasn’t good enough to use)…
