RE: First 5 spot league shoot
Lethal,
I would say it is a pretty good score for you first time. Your X count was good. You should be shooting in the 290's by the end of the year. I've been shooting indoor 5-spot leagues for about8 years now. I know when I first started shooting five spots (although I was only 16), I shot in the 260's, and now don't drop out ofupper 290's.
It really depends on scoring as far as good vs bad scores. Our league only scores X, 5, 4, 0, (X and 5 are both worth 5 points). But I know some leagues that score X, 5,4,3,0. So it is going to vary a little bit.
Indoor winter leagues are were you really get to know your equiptment. Shooting 60 arrows at 20 yards everynight really allows for you to fine tune your patterns, catch if you tweaking you bow any, see if your dropping you arm, see it you sight/rest/nock/peep need to be slide just a little bit. All this fine tuning allows you to rip it up when it gets warm out and you shoot 3D courses.
