RE: We talkin bout PRACTICE....
Ok well to reserect this post. I finally got my chance to shoot some 10 yard game. RJ and Gmmat suggest this as atype of practice rather than just shooting once a week. I decided to give it a go. So at first i'm done in the basement just plugging along. Pretty Easy. So later I go down and decide to shoot a 450 round for score. OK, now I get it!
First 10 arrows cruising along, all 10's and X's. I think I may shoot my first 150..hmm ahaaa..I get it, Hearts beating faster pin less steady next 2 arrows rock the 9. (I'm not shooting my fat-fat-matt arrows) I finish with 3 10's for a 148 w/7x
My next round (end, game, orwhatever you call 15 arrows) Same scenerio but much better I'm dialed in I have 11 X's ..12th arrow 9 (maybe 10 but not clear enough to take it) So I score 149 w/14X
Last round again I plug 11x's then throw in a 10 and finish strong, so a 150 w/14X
Total
148 7x
149 14x
150 14x
447 35x
My release felt smooth..I "GET" the feeling of shooting good scores and realize "Hey why not me?" I hope to countinue with this and see if I can bump my scores up a bit.
