Well, I finally competed in an indoor shoot out, 18 yards, 30 arrows.
I shot a 273 ( max 300 points ) with a hunting rig ( WB, G5 optix ME, axis arrows and mounted quiver....so no scopes, no big stabilizers and drop away rests )
I started of with 5 practice arrows and hit 4 x's, that made the guys in my lane very anxious and they called in the ref to check my bow !!! He never saw anything like my bow, but he said it wasn't a problem....
I lost2 times 3points with two shots where I drew too quickly and had to wait for the second signal before I could shoot and another three points when one of my arrows lost a vane after colliding with someone else's arrow ( I know, always check your arrows after a shot )
Overall I'm fairly content, I can say know that the bad shots I've been having are my own fault and not my material failing.
And that pressure doesn't really bother me.......
Another thank you to everyone that helped me along the way.....
