This dingus has had all her shots and is about to be let loose on the world. Be afraid. Be very afraid. #DogsOfMastodon

Right. Off with Secondborn for a bit of archery practice. It's a gorgeous morning, with zero wind, and a perfect opportunity to get her out to 40m.

Sit rep after the Windsor shoot: everything hurts. My bow shoulder was really playing up today; I had to abandon quite a few shots, come down and reset because it was cramping and I couldn't get the draw length to get through the clicker. The last few ends, every shot was a struggle, and now I have shooting pains throughout my upper back.

Don't get old.

#Archery

The result of my #Archery mishap earlier.

I was trying out a shot trainer. The metal ring attaching the elbow sling to the bungee holding the string shattered on release, resulting in a dry fire, 45lb of Olympic-style recurve bow discharging most of its force into my neck (the gash, where the string hit), and a portion of the metal ring embedding itself in my neck (the puncture wound).

Please can I ask the Fedi hivemind for some computer advice? I own a Surface Go 3. It is showing its age. I've eked some extra life and performance out of it with Linux, but it really just doesn't handle heavy modern websites well and even with the Windows bloat taken away it struggles.

Thing is, I really like the form factor. So, is there a machine like the Surface Go 3 but more powerful? I don't really want an Android tablet or iPad; I prefer a "proper" desktop OS.

Suggestions welcome!
