I was reading a thread over at archerytalk[:-] and it was about how many straight 60X games have you shot. Jim Despart didn't go by games, he broke it down into arrows...get this...
In the 2003-2004 winter season, he shot 1957 straight x's on the vegas face!
That absolutely blows my mind.
Heh, trust me when I say it was equivelant of 10's on the vegas face. He was referring to x's on the blue face in that post, which are essentially the same size as a 10 on the vegas face. Still amazing shooting though. He is quite likely the best indoor archer that have ever shot a bow.
With that said, the world record for vegas X's is currently held by Dave Cousins, who has a 598/600 scoring with NAA rules (baby x's count as tens......so this means 58 out of 60 vegas x's).
Jim is local to me here, and has been a large influence on the indoor shooters in this area. My coach actually watched him tie Dave C's world record in a practice game one night.
