Stephen shot this morning in the recurve division, and we all had to wait til around 11am to start ours.  The wind was up a little, and was a bit challenging, but the first half of it seemed to go relatively ok. Then the wind got up a bit more for the second half and I really couldnt get it together. I ended up 42nd, which is likely to mean a tough individual matchplay tomorrow.  I decided I didnt want to know whom I'm up against so I couldnt stress about it all nite.   We headed to the teams practise and the heat was well upon us, I got some sunburn today.  Shot well leading up to the teams round on the new 50m hit/miss targets and then last few ends of the practise I had to do some gear maintenance - my finger sling caught on my blade and bent it upwards.  Didnt help my matchplay at all, and we were against the Australian team first. They shot well, and took the match in 3 sets.  I hopefully have it all sorted for the individuals tomorrow, trying to reset up gear when you have shot a long day is a bit tough. See what tomorrow brings.
