Default Ever have one of "those" days?

I meana daywhere you go out and feel like you couldn't hit a house? I don't know what the deal was tonight, but it was horrible. Last night I was breaking golf tees at 20 yards and tonight I could barely keep it in a 2 inch circle at 25. YIKES!!!!

The only thing that I can think of is that I did a pretty heavy upper body workout last night after shooting and maybe I was tired today, but I generally do that each week. I sure hope this isn't a continuing trend...

Does every day count?

I have days like that too, especially if I try shooting after I run. I'm always off a bit if I shoot after a run, even a couple hours later.

If you weren't "off" with your shooting after a workout......

.....then you didn't work out hard enough .

I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds completely normal, to me.

I think you answered yourself there. I played in a golf tournamnet once thatwas the day after I played a tough soccer match, and the fatigue mesed with my body and my concentration. It's good for bow though since it can replicate some of th e'presure' we feel whne that big daddy comes along. Turn up the concentration level a bit, and make it an exercise to benefit you.

You "could barely keep it inside a 2" circle"? As in 2" in diameter group?Wouldn't thatbe in the 10-ring of a 3D target? The outdoor games professional competitions have bigger targets at 25 yards (I think they are 2.5" diameter and they might even be 3.5" diameter). Are you sure that is a bad day? That is keeping arrows inside the top of a pop can every time.

I think a 2" diameter group is pretty good. But I guess that means I am a terrible shot.I don't know.

I have got to agree with huntingson, even if that is a "bad" day of shooting for you, in a hunting situation, that is a dead animal. Thats all that matter to me.
