Aces Wild 600! After a week of battling a crippling chest infection that had me in endless cycles of pains, deliriums and high fevers that finally ended on Friday night. By now I had been drained and left with "one intestine", like my Yoruba brethren would say. I wasn't sure I was ready for my first indoor shoot for the year. As always, the first light would always greet me on my way to the shoot. Long quiet drive, enough to listen to my favourite shows and play a few tracks to get me in the mood. It seemed like a good day ahead, a good day to stand on the line and enjoy the pure fun that archery brings. But I was running on Eco-mode; burning just enough energy to keep me in one piece As I set up my bow to get ready, another bout of fever broke. I was dripping sweat like I had just walked into a Japanese sauna, I wish I was trying achieve a state of totonou, but, nope! My body was healing and dealing with the issue. To make matters worse, I left my face towel that I rarely used in the past; when life choses to crack a joke. My arms quivered through the shoot, my sight blurred a few times, and my legs felt like stone; like a gargoyle caught in half transformation. There was just one annoying "8" that kept popping up, and it was on the same spot, the consistency was annoying and shocking at the same time🤣 Anyways, the shoot went well, The Boogeyman mike grochowski and his henchman, showed up again, did their thing, snatching the Gold and Silver medals from beneath our noses; reminding us why they reigned supreme. However, I was able grab the Bronze, by a hair's breadth (by just 1 point!) and ride furiously into the sunset.And I managed to I beat my previous P.B by 10 points! I think it's a good growth from the previous plateau I was stuck in before I got my @ramrodsarchery stabilisers. And I look forward to exciting times ahead. "Speak softly, but carry a big stick"...or stabilisers Noted to self: "You must change your bow, it keeps acting up on you!". So, guys, a @psebows Dominator Duo X or a @bowtecharchery Reckoning Gen 39 Gen2? I need suggestions...

Day 1 of the 1440 State Championship shoot. Rose early, but groggily. It's hard catching a decent break these days. Shoot didn't start well, as planned; something was off. By the time I figured it out, the first half had ended badly. Good for some, but not close to my previous performances. Tried making up for it in the 2nd half, but it still didn't cut if for a first day shoot. I've shot better. It all ends tomorrow, but for now, I can only eat, rest and look forward for a sweet day tomorrow. Forecast currently predicts scorching temperatures tomorrow, do I pray for fair winds or no wind? A hard place to be. And as always, I only desire to be a better version of myself each time I step on the range to shoot, nothing else! Defying Gravity. Always .

Thank you, Nenameseck! Field shoot done and dusted. It was about a hundred minutes drive to the Sportsmen's Club, minutes I spent on postmortem about the past week and plans for the new; at this rate, I need more days in the week, 7 wouldn't just cut it! As I eased into the car park, the skies began to weep, for how long? I wasn't sure, but the clouds didn't look friendly today. As I walked in, Mike greeted me with a warm smile, I hoped to learn from him again today. He showed me the live weather maps, and yes, it would be immensely wet today. As we walked through the 28 courses in the forest, the rains constantly reminded us why we should respect nature. The rains did a number on my accuracy, the grounds were slippery and my poncho raincoat kept getting in the way; some hard lessons to learn. One thing was for certain, my stabilisers @ramrodsarchery delivered as always, they remained unwavering in the blistering rain. Guys, get a set if you can...thank me later. My archery journey continues, exploring new lands, new rules and the uncharted outer rims. It's tough being a Ronin Archer out here, but nothing compares to that feeling when you let go of your arrows and hear that satisfying "thud", as the arrows kiss the spider. Happy to walk away with first place in my division, I love the new challenge that field archery brings. Mike did a great job showing me the way (pun intended), it would have been a challenging shoot without him. I'm happy to learn daily and continuously grow into the archer that I should be, and I'm also eager to share my journey and lend a paw to anyone who wishes to grab it. Gravity is a suggestion. Stay unchained.

Massachusetts Senior Games, 2025 My week has been crazy, with everything happening everywhere all at once; I had also just finished a hectic week of shooting and barely had enough time to train for this event and the stress was beginning to creep in. Stayed up late attending to my scrolls, the impending deadlines wouldn't take care of themselves. I didn't sleep much, tossed and turned as the sweet cool post-thunderstorm breeze cooled my sweating head, I had a lot on my mind and my event was not at the top of the list. I enjoyed the day's shoot. The weather was nice and warm with a few gusts of wind to toy with your stabilisers...just because mother nature can🤣.The archers were super-chill, their humour was gritty and dark; I felt right at home. It's admirable to see archers in much older categories shoot so well, these seasoned gentlemen, or should I say, vintage archers are something else; steady but surely and I'm really playing catch-up at this point. There was so much to learn from them, their calmness and lightheartedness was enviable, they were eager to help and give a nugget or two of wisdom; I've missed archery atmospheres like these. I reconnected with old friends (pun intended) from within and out of state (@todd_mead thanks for the guidance), it was nice to folks who have dedicated all their lives to archery show up for this beautiful game. My category was keenly contested, I had hoped for gold but, "at all, at all, na em bad pass", glad to walk away with my first medal for the 2025 outdoor season.it was a long drive home, listened to Dido's greatest hits as I eased along the winding road that led me home. It transported me to my university years when I just got my first Acer laptop, her songs were fresh on bill boards and I played them whenever I needed to ease into my Saturday mornings. Great times. So my archery quest continues, where will these winding roads lead me this summer? I hear the fields calling....🤔😎. But first, I must recover from this 90-arrow shoot, I feel chewed up and spat out 🤣. Defying gravity, always...

Day 2: Riverside Outdoor Rangefinder, 2025 Guess who's back again? Yeah, it's me, your friendly neighbourhood Ronin archer. So, a bit of a background, like all archers, I started off with a barebow and quickly abandoned it for the high-risk and the unforgiving excitement compound bow had to offer. I longed for that sweet feeling, that first kiss that lit the flames of my romance with archery, so I decided to try barebow at 50m. I have never competed at this distance with barebow, it would be my rebirth this outdoor season; like an Atlas month reborn from its chrysalis, if you will. In the light of this, I decided to raise the stakes and apply a bit more pressure; I signed up for a 50m barebow event along with the compound event. While other archers rested on Day 2, I was back on the range for my baptism, not sure I got as much rest as I wanted, but my 1990s and early 2000 rock song playlist did offer some therapy during my 45 mins drive to Hudson. Yeah, so I was grouped with awesome archers such as Mike and Steve (medieval assassins) whom have lost counts of their gold medals and Lancaster appearances🤣. And Yan, never met him until now, but I've followed his scores throughout the winter. Guys, it's safe to say I came in punching above my weight class, but you know me, "It's not the size of the dog in a fight, but the size of the fight in the dog"...But not today 😂, I couldn't wish away their decades of experience and hope my underdog enthusiasm would get me past the heavyweights....at least for today. While I didn't make the podium, my scores were good enough to earn most of my pins and help me set new targets (pun intended). In retrospect, I would say this was a good start to the outdoor season; the shock therapy was needed to help me revise my plans and keep my head in the game as I plan to exceed my limits; It can be done, person wey do am no get two head. Meanwhile, make I do small aproko, e get one person wey I beat yesterday for rankings wey sweet me die! 🤣🤣 Defying gravity, always...😎🇳🇬 Jersey design: @wapa_unlimited #archarcheryclub #nigeriansports #archerylife #africanarchery #nigerianarchery

Day 1: Riverside Outdoor Rangefinder, 2025 It was a 1 pm shoot so there was no need to set forth at dawn, but my restless mind wouldn't let me sleep either. I tossed and turned till the first rays of light pierced my blinds. I rolled out of bed, had my regular routines, stocked up on calories, and got myself ready, there was nothing to pack, I had packed last night. My anxiety was palpable; this would be my first trial of strength since my academics-induced hiatus from shooting. I hate that I don't get to shoot as often as I would, but you know what they say, "you go war with the army you have, not with the army you want". It was nice to see all the old faces and some new ones. I was particularly on the lookout for a particular gentleman that had been collecting medals like infinity stones all winter, every indoor event I competed in, he was always at the top..while everyone else played catch-up. And he did the same thing again today. He may never get to read this, but I find his skills quite admirable. Mad respect, bro. The rain forecast was on point, @saamonthegram had prepared for the occasional showers that made our shooting just a little more challenging; mother nature just loves toying with us at will. My first end was sweet...then I got cocky and paid the price with a few reds down the line. Besides the persistent painful forearm muscle pull of the release arm, the inflamed carpal of my left forefinger and the headaches, I think what did me in was a nock and Fletcher malfunction incident; I lost that arrow. While I narrowly missed the standing medal table by 1 painful point, I have hit my competition personal best. However, I must shamefully admit that I have shot better in training, I'm still glad to see remarkable growth while pressure-testing my new form. My old faithful PSE Beast @psebows and @ramrodsarchery stabilisers system delivered! I have tried a few stabs in the past, these particular ones are silky smooth. Grab your set, if you can...thank me later 😎. Day 2 continues tomorrow and I will be trying something different, something from the past..

Like every other Saturday morning, I got up, did my morning routines, ran errands, read piles of study materials, followed up some pending research work, ate, took a nap, and read a whole more. But it's been almost a year since I stepped on the Tatami to compete, the thought of signing on for a world-famous championship despite my inability to prepare well bothered me a bit. It's been a greulling first quarter of 2025 that had felt like 6 months, I have had a lot going on, but in the words of Optimus Prime, "fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing". Like a bee drawn to nectar, I drove mindlessly for about an hour until I got to the location. The last time I was here, it was covered in snow and my teeth chattered as I walked to the hall, but today was different. The cool winds were gentle and the sun rays tickled our skins harmlessly; I would be a good day. As I walked into the brightly lit coliseum, the sight of the Tatami, which extended as far as my eyes could see in the hall, the blood-curlding random screams of 400+ warriors as they all got themselves into the mental zone and the feeling of being connected in Budo gave me goosebumps. My eyes got briefly misty, but No! Not today, for today we go to war and there shall be no weakness! 🤣. So, I presently weigh a little over 90kg and I got bumped to the +100kg(to infinity😏) Division; in judo, this weight difference changes everything. But for those who know me, I am notorious for always punching above my weight 😎😏. As I sat and waited for my moments of glory on the mat, I listened to my curated pre-battle playlist to get myself into "the zone". The adrenaline rush had ended, I had run the gauntlet and here I was standing on the podium to receive my medal and flying the National flag. As I stared into the crimson skies as the sun dipped into the horizons, I thought to myself, "another conquest, another medal; the journey has only just begun and there are numerous podiums ahead for the taking!". But mehn,... body taya me sha, everywhere just dey do me wan kain,who send me message sef? @koyejosofoluwe , look what you made me do! Side quest done and dusted, the parchments and quills call.
