Sota,

Was that you walking out today at noon when my brother and I were walking in???

I turned it up a notch today.....294 w/ 34 x's.

At least my score and x count is going in the right direction! grin

On a side note, after I shot my round, I shot a single spot target hoping for a Robin Hood. I told myself I'd shoot 5 arrows and see what happens. On the 5th arrow, CRACK!!!, I excitedly walked down the lane to find I had shot the end off an arrow, but didn't "tube" it.

So close................. crazy

Shot a 292 22x at regions at Little Crow Archery in Willmar on Saturday. Was a fun time, almost forgot how they did everything for the state tourn. There is one weekend left to get your regions score in to shoot the state indoor tourn in Redwood Falls in March!

Still stuck in the low 290's. 293 w/ 20x yesterday. Hoping to bump it up a notch tomorrow.

I could up my score if I was shooting those "fat" arrows, but I figure why shoot something I'm not going to be hunting with. But that's just me.

Wow, we got smoked the first half. Guess it's all been for the handicap as second half starts this week. Time to get serious now.

You're consistent, that's good. Maybe start tweaking your setup and see if anything improves... Maybe try toying around with different stabilizers to minimize pin float or experiment with a few new releases. Are you using back tension or using a trigger release? It's a mental game, just draw back and shoot x's. It's that simple. grin

I was thinking some minor brain surgery might help! eek LOL

What really bugs me is there always seems to be 1 bullseye that I X ring every time. Only problem is, sometimes it's the middle bullseye, sometimes it's the upper left bullseye............. crazy

Honestly, I think it comes down to target panic. To many people pass shoot and punch..

When I taught some classes I would say this.. "Archery is fun.. why ruin it by pulling the trigger"..

If I ever gave good advice it was this.. Pull the bow back.. Settle on the target, The CENTER of the target, count to 5 then start your shot process.. Train with a back tension release. I have 5 different back tension releases.. I shot awesome with those, but never really used one for league.. but training with it really helped..

I have a target that I should really take a pict of... I was training for state.. Shot it on 4-6-04 so it was quite a while ago.. but shot back to back games.. 57X -58X on the same target.. 120 arrows.. is a sweet looking 5 spot if you ask me.. only had one arrow that touched the white..

Shot an 855 last night. WAY over my average, and the best score I've shot since the very first night of league. Looks like a good start to the second half!

Wow, tough course last night. Lots of little targets far away. Still shot an 835, about average. We had a poor start to the second half last week, only taking one of four points. frown

Shot a 295 w/ 33 x's last night. I really didn't expect it, especially with a couple misses during my 15 arrow warm up.

Not to mention that was the most people I've shot in front of at the club this winter. Maybe an audience is a good thing??? confused

Good job Brian. Nice to see the scores finally start to climb. Do you normally shoot Friday nights, why the big turnout last night?

Thanks Don!

I work mainly nights, so I shoot during the day when most people are at work. Maybe it's too quiet then and the mind starts to wander a bit? Maybe with more people in the club I focus a bit more? Maybe, maybe, maybe??? grin

There were 2 couples in there and a family of 5. Good way to spend a Friday night I guess!

I decided this year to get back into archery after 11 years off. It's been a fun season so far, challenging to say the least. I've gotten myself to shoot right around 290 with 25-30x's, best yet this year is a 295, worst a 280 (2 misses, lol...) I shoot an old hoyt aspen 45" ata with fingers.

shot a 295 27x last night. The funny part is it wasn't with my bow. I cracked a limb on my Firecat on Saturday so I had a spare bow loaned to me from my dealer. Rytera Alien-X...dang nice shooting bow!

rbs, that's pretty good shooting with a borrowed bow.

Reminds me of a friend who's bow broke early into a 3D shoot. He ended up shooting the bow of someone in his group-and beat him with his own bow! laugh

Not my best night, still shot an 820. Haven't yet gone below the 800 mark, would be a good season if I could keep that up.

Well last night I shot the best round I have ever shot. 297 with 32x Also with that VERY nice Alien x that I have been using while my bow gets new limbs. Everyone has been asking me if I am going to buy a new bow...almost think I should...lol

296 w/ 36 x's this morning.....99, 99, 98.

Tied for my highest score and it was my best x count of the season so far.

Also started shooting my Martin X-200 recurve a bit and shooting pretty darn good too. I plan on killing a deer with it this fall if my shooting continues to improve.

I shot a personal league high today, 296 27x with fingers.... 100, 97, 99. Gotta give the release guys some competition. Kind of fun to see some of the guys squirm when a finger flinger out shoots them laugh I have to say it has been fun getting back into archery. It used to be such a large part of my life that I can't believe I let go for so long.

      Agreed.  If Darnold could unload a lot faster off the snap he would be unstoppable.  I could see how frustrated Jefferson was.

      I think they could get the Lions.  Not as confident with the Chefs.  I’d love to see it though.   Darnold did well for sure!  But he was off a bit and the receivers made some great catches.  Then a few plays that were close to turnovers.  It was a good thing GB took too long to find their game.   Im not hatin’, just sayin’.

      Just like the Twins in 87 and 91.  One game at a time.  I think with KOC they have a good shot. Besides it's a rebuild year according to the experts at the beginning of the year.

      It was a win but can they get by the Lion's and Chief's if the defense doesn't show up?  What more can your QB do but his best stat game of the season?

      It’s for really big fires, wonderful fires, great fires, the best fires…. lol!   Really, I could but didn’t wanna right now and didn’t wanna move it twice.  I’ve got more than enough split and will have more to come every year.  This friend that DID eventually take it last night heats with wood and sometimes helps me cut up the trees.  Takes it all, including box elder.  Wood stove don’t care, he says.  Works for me.
