Take two at trying to get a fuking blog working on this site 🀯it's a frightening thing to be as stupid as I  my friends. But here we go, I have just gone over my gear to make sure all is well with the Batman Bow and everything else inside my archery case and all seems well, no moving parts but I did venture to adjust the arrow rest since Mark Daly loudly and repeatedly called it out as a disaster or something like that πŸ€ͺ😜😁. I didn't get to shoot any arrows so I hope to arrive at Redfox archers shoot tomorrow early enough to get some warm up shots off and see if it's OK. Yes yes off to cahir early in the morning and looking forward to it as the champs are next week and I haven't shot an arrow in well over a month so the Redfox shoot tomorrow will be the start of a frantic week of shooting the bow and doing what I can to get some form going to the champs in Aos Dana archery in comfortable fashion so as to enjoy the occasion fully. 

As for tomorrow I will be looking forward to seeing all the crazies and having a good craic and hopefully shoot well, I feel like I have been slowly gaining ground of late but I had to disconnect the mind from a number of mental distractions as I really did start to think that I was in a mental quicksand of sorts and only until I had one of my rage brain moments one evening while bumping into things in my then very untidy little studio, looking back on it I do confess I giggle at my own behaviour πŸ˜€ 😊, it just rushes you in a moment and you do feel surprised but yes, on reflection I see that there were signs ignored, I then arrive in the shit show, the rage flame licking it's lips on the thoughts of destruction which it does demand as payment for being ignored  and so it goes πŸ˜€ 😊 rage on . Emotions are so funny, while you may find yourself in certain situations or in the company of certain individuals where you chose politeness over conflict only for a red flag to start a race 🏁 with you as if you are in a countdown to bull in a china shop mode and if you don't listen to yourself you will eventually end up wrecking an already untidy little studio and immediately do some mental editing that ends up cutting out a number of things a number of people and emotions, the hammer comes down hard and nothing is sudden nothing surprising not on reflection, on  reflection you find yourself wince as you see it all out before you ,and feel like you are watching a car crash and you can't look away. So yes, in a roundabout way I'm thinking πŸ€” are we really in charge of ourselves?  No matter πŸ˜€ tomorrow approaches so make sure that you have all your gear ready if you are shooting the Redfox, always a good vibe and always a good laugh πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜€.
