Well, not the direction I wanted to go. It really was just a couple of arrows poorly shot. I could make excuses with the 24 degree weather and the 15 mph wind, but it is hunter class, right? And this is certainly hunter weather. Definitely gloves next week. My hands were froze by the time my son and I finished. He wanted to keep shooting (after an hour and a half). What a trooper.

Well I'll tell ya....This was my very first ever Vegas game, and it's tough. But I guess a 421 w/ 7x isn't too bad. I was really disappointed in my X count though. I was hammering the 10 ring, but I just couldn't close the deal on those X's......I really need to learn to let down and start over when the shot doesn't feel right.

And ya know what really ticks me off? On my last 5 ends, I shot 30's on the first 2.... one of which all three were X's.....THEN, I shot a 9-9-8 and the last 6 shots were 9's......AHHHHHHHHHH

I dropped my poundage today to get the speed on my 337 comp down to about 282. It feels pretty darn good now. I shot a 5spot round tonight and shot my highest x count yet. I just hate these little Vegas super x's.

That round yesterday almost killed me. I havent shot my bow in a long time and it showed. A 353 with 4 X's, that is just downright horrible. It is definantly harder thanI thought it would be.that being saidI would give my self extra credit for shooting in the rain.

I would take the rain. At least it would be warmer. Despite my poor performance, I am glad I shot yesterday. Today it is about 10 F and gusty 20-25 mph winds. I will still get out today, but at least I won't have to post my score. Maybe it is time to pay for range time.

I can't wait to shoot my round tommorow. Not sure how much improving I can do on my score though. That round was like the kid that killsa 200" P&Y his first time into the woods [8D]

I shot 2-450 rounds back to back twice this week, and both times i scored better in the second round. Today i scored a 416-9x, then settled down and scored my highest 422-5x. I am really impressed with this score. My x count was aweful but i had a lot of tens. I caught myself flinging arrows on a couple shots so i took a couple minutes to get together then carried on. This prolly isnt the best way to get better but i just like shooting that much and i didnt have anything else to do.
