Sounds like a vegas round to me. Three separate targets, one arrow into each for a total score of 30 points per end with 10 ends? Am I close?

If so 270's aren't bad. Those are not Pro target archers though I don't think. Pros would be shooting much closer to 300's I would think.

Equipment really doesn't mean that much for target shooting to be honest. Neither does tuning to a great degree. It's not hard to put an arrow where it needs to be at 18 yards if you shoot well. Consistent form and aiming are what counts.

I have seen guys win local spot shoots with hunting set ups and others that usually score very high, like average of 580-590's for two rounds (possible 600). The key is they could shoot well.

The thing with target shooting is you could shoot really well and then have a few really bad shots and bring your score down.

I used to love to do goofy stuff during spots to make people think. Like shooting without a peep, or once I used 17 series arrows that were 21 inches long with 5 inch feathers, and another time I shot a round with bare shafts. I didn't win, but I did a whole lot better than most thought I would.
