New glasses - again! Just in time for the National Field! I deal with some vision abnormalities that prevent me from being able to wear contacts. (Trust me, I've tried to get them but no one will prescribe them!) So I've devoted a lot of time into finding the right frames for shooting. What's your favorite frame shape for shooting? Also would anyone like a post where I talk about my vision? Seven days until the National Field! #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #glasses #visionimpairment #justgotmyzennis #zennioptical #eyes #eyeglasses https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz36G_1gm9A/?igshid=1few392du94ju

New glasses - again! Just in time for the National Field! I struggle with my eyes a lot and can't wear contacts so I've spent a lot of time working to find good frames for shooting. I love #Zenni glasses so much! What's your favorite frame shape for shooting? Also is anyone interested in me talking more about my vision abnormalities on here and what I've been doing to deal with it? #glasses #justgotmyzennis #zennioptical #visionimpairment #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3sWULAX88/?igshid=198u116k02lb7

Twelve more days until we leave for the National Field. I can't believe it's been two years since we last went to Yankton. I can't believe it's already been a year since we went to Pennsylvania. What's your favorite tournament of the year!? // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqjzSkAxUk/?igshid=7m64m509pe6a

Here's a fun Throwback to one of my first Field shoots, circa 2015. It was the State Field hosted by my local club. I was seventeen, still shooting a recurve, and still fairly new to competitive archery. I had a great group to shoot with and it was a fun weekend. I also learned a lot about how much prep and work it took to shoot a field round. // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/Byq5HcIgZCo/?igshid=1fujckxkx5vcm

Club 14-14-14 round today. That's 14 Field , Hunter, and Animal targets. We got through the Field and Hunter Rounds but had to call it due to rain before the animal round began. Can't wait for the State / Sectional Field at the end of the month. What did you shoot this weekend?! // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiH2npANsq/?igshid=112kev3p4hj4w

Last weekend I shot the State Target. It alternates between being an International Round or a 900 Round. This year it was an International Round. I've never shot it before and I had a great group for the entirety of the event. I set a new State record for Female Freestyle. Now it's time to gear up for the State Field/ Sectional Field. I can't wait! // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRMxS0Ame6/?igshid=puyt8yym8fgx

Field season means work days where you paste up an ungodly number of targets in preparation for the state/sectional field. Also pic number two WATCH YOUR LEVEL! Can you tell which shots I didn't and which one I did? #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/BxupJSkABYw/?igshid=km6wnufntyz7

I dont know how to caption this photo other than I love field. A lot. What's your favorite type of archery? Favorite tournament of the year? Why? // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLVUfpAVfQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m7n4ht3wz0zo

What do you carry with you onto the range? I've done this type of post a couple times in the past but since what I carry with me changes periodically here we go again in no particular order: Three releases, one shooter towel, an array of allen wrenches, a lense cloth, lense cleaner, an arrow puller, arrow lube, several finger slings, d-loop material, lense kit for my peep, a back up blade or two, a range finder, random score cards, very sentimental key chains, x-10's for field, and finally my favorite: a Rose from Ikea. But seriously, does anyone else empty their quiver to find a bunch of stuff they don't even realize they had...? // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBjqKNgtX7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gr5y52p388y3

I haven't posted for a while so here's a long post and a photo dump. Right now I'm finishing finals for the semester and have been pretty focused on school. I'm wrapping up my junior year and had a pretty heavy course load so Instagram was put on the back burner. Last weekend we shot our club safari. My teammate and I won the team event and I got 9th out of 27ish shooters in men's freestyle division. Not a great performance but we found some issues with my string which was causing UGLY arrow flight. Right now we are getting ready for the State Target later this month and then the Field next month. Now that my semester is over I'm going to work on producing more content online. Would anyone read a blog if I started one? // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw94XnkAZnf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ftf0qfefve51

I don't know about you guys but there are a handful of targets I dread on the Field Round. For me the worst two are the eighty yard walk up and the sixty yard target. As such, yesterday I spent a lot of time at sixty yards. By the time I was done I felt pretty confident. How do you get ready for field season? // #archery #bow #arrows #archeryform #archeryrange #compound #compoundbow #compoundarchery #targetarchery #targetbow #fieldarchery #indoorseason #nfaa #usaarchery #shootlikeagirl #trainlikeagirl #trainhard #workhard #collegearchery #collegestudent #health #fitness #sports #athletics #athletelife #bowlife #haveyoutrainedtoday #truball #axcel #doinker https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaUkafgCL8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3g7rlic4mudn
