x2

Back about 14 years ago I was in a league andshot a 296on 5 spots (Don't remembers how many X's).

I shot a 298 once and a whole bunch of 295 - 297's. Never had a 300 yet. I hope to get a 300 this year in the HNI League.

I have always loved archery hunting but I have yet to get hooked on target shooting. For 9 years, I had a very short bow that did not fit my long draw and I couldn't get it tuned. No matter how much I practiced, I couldn't get comfortable shooting over 25 yards. Could be the 475 grain arrows my friends at a larger major outfitter hooked me up with along with my ignorance. Well, I got on google, searched for reviews, landed on this site, became slightly educated, purchased a 101 in December, and now I am hooked. Between work and the family, it will be difficult for me to practice more than 1 time per week at the range, but I pulled my target into the basement and started to work on tuning, equipment, and form. 2 weeks ago, I shot in a 3d tournament and had an absolute blast. It started a bit rough with a few 5s, but when I calmed down and forgot about the 15 shooters to my right and another 15 to my left, I was good. I will say that I felt bad for my cousin that helped me out. After about 20 shots, I think that he got too focused on what I was doing and forgot to place an arrow on his string and dry fired his target mattews bow. It sounded like someone tearing a 1000 dollar bill in half. What a horrible sound. I guess it is ok but his peep shot like a bullet from his string. Can't wait to get to the range this weekend. Good luck to all and thanks for the advice.

Just shot my very best tonight with my hunting setup, 297 but lacked on the x's with only 24. This is my second year doing it and I am really starting to enjoy it.

I'm still getting on the spot train. I plan to be a little mroe serious about it next year.

My best, and I've shot this same exact score twice now, and this was with my 3d setup. Scope, .010" green pin, and no lense.

How many yards do you guys shoot at?

20.....

cool....then when I was messing around with some 5 spot targets last week i did pretty good!

well, I didn't do it today. 298 39xs, 298 40xs in the second game, the first 2 rounds were good but the last had 2/24s. oh well, i guess there is always next week. i think that i need to get a lens.
