Default First 3D Shoot. Comments and Ideas?

I was just in my first 3D shoot this past weekend. It was at a local shop and was one of their championship shoots. It was a 2 day shoot. Thats not common is it? Anyways, the shoot was with 25 targets. I hear most are with 30 and this shops usually is but he said he cut back do to the extreme heat here in texas and the number or people playing. I was in the BH Novice being my first time and my setup. I have a matthes fx with bodoodle rest and trophy ridge sight at around 31" and 70lbs. The first day I shot a 212 out of 300 on the 25 targets. I screwed up the first few shots and barely hit the target getting the minimum points. I haven't shot at an animal target in a while, just got a block, so my ranging was a little off. The next day I shot a 248 on the 25 targets. I did alot better even with some somewhat severe wind. There where some shots that where wooded but the animal was in the open and when the arrow cleared the brush it had some drastic movement. But I still managed to compensate. Anyways, I was just wondering how this sounded to some of yall being my first shoot and all. I've wanted to get into the 3D shooting for a while just never had the time. Any advice for getting deeper into the 3D arena?
