Can anyone give me an idea of what you think a once a week 3D league shooter might score on a 30 target course (scored 5-8-10-12)? I'll explain later, just wondering if you could throw some numbers out. Much apppreciated.

When I was at my best,I would not be happy with anything below even, on a course that had 12 rings,even being all 10's.(300) I will say though,there were many days I came home not happy.
I was a 280 to 290 shooter on a course that did not have 12 rings and I shot open class.
Ok so I little lower than TFOX's estimate since he is an excellent shooter! The reason I'm asking is because I was checking out the league averages at the range today. Personally, my second time shooting 3D, I shot a 216 so I wanted to compare that. But, I was really suprised at the scores for the past few weeks in this little league. The were a ton in the 320's with some two man teams at almost 650. The league average was something like 260-270. Now, I know with a little practice 260 is more than do-able for me. But, no way I'm shooting 320-330. Now mind you this is only a 25 yard range with the longest diagonal shots being maybe 35 yards. The yardages aren't marked but they are fairly easy to figure just by knowing this. Now, I am pretty sure these were not handicapped scores but now that I think about it, thats some pretty damn scores. You think it's possible?

Those scores are completely doable within what you have given us as the range setup.I never reached the level to be able to shoot 20 - 30 up (30 up is getting into national level good on any course)on any course but was able to shoot up scores on a regular basis,WHEN I PEAKED.I wasn't peaked for very long before I burnt out.
Some simple basics and you can achieve your goal VERY EASILY.When I started out,my goal was 270 from the hunter stake.I surpassed that to about a 280 then I jumped classes but really wasn't any better for a while.I just hit a plateau that I thought was impossible to better.Then a coach gave me some pointers,I learned a few things about equipment,form and fit AND I started learning back tension and I really started to get better but the hard work really wore me down and I burnt out.
Go over and check out some of the scores from the ASA on ranges outside with low corner 12's with a maximum of 45 yards on the open shooters.Granted those will be 40 target courses but they are also outside in the elements at much longer distances.
3D Score?
