Tony Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Great shooting kevin.. your turning into a target archer for sure... i have been shooting like dog poop and i dont know what the deal is .. i shot bad in league last night .. i shot a 439 Vegas round out of 450 possible.. for some reason i just cant focus or hold steady..i still have a slight sinus infection and a cold.. i wonder if that has anything to do with it ? i will try to shoot my round tonight ..but if it stinks im waiting a day or 2 and try again.!

Tony Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores i found out what was wrong .. i was anchoring in the wrong spot.. it was slightly higher up and forward of my usual anchor.. plus i let my draw length out 1/2 inch .. i know that thats not the best thing to do but im just cnvinced im not a 28.5 inch draw length.. im 6 ' 3 " inches and have long arms..... once i corrected this i shot lights out.. i shot my round last night and i shot 298! back on track baby !

MCH Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Thanks for letting us have a week to dream, Tony! Got my second tourney of the year Saturday. It's about twice the size of the last one, so I'm excited. Sure am glad that you solved your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Wow, you guys are really going to town! MCH, nice shooting there. High scores, Robin Hoods; you're in the zone! Tony, good to see you've sorted out the problem and are shooting lights out again. Isn't it funny how little things can change without us realizing it, and they make a huge difference. I'm out for the week. Had ear surgery on Wednesday and have to lollygag for a few days. No cramming my release hand against my ear. So I'll be back in the fray next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores i am shooting my new Ultratec at 29 inches and its shooting great.. so i figured tht i would let my protec out 1/2 inch and see what happens..so far it agrees with me a lot... im going in tonight to play with the tiller tuning on my protec....i just feel that my form is really good but i want to hold steadier...adjusting the tiller on each limb will help... its going to take a bunch of time but i have all night.. i usually just set the tiller to the same for each . but i have been doing some reading and i want to try adjusting the tiller on top and bottom a 1/4 turn at a time to see if i can get the bow to hold a little steadier....

Tony Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Glory of Glory !!! i cant believ it .. my old buddy that showed me how to shoot is back into shooting again ! this guy can seriously shoot..he won the Open Class for the IBO Heartland Triple crown in 3d and is a awesome shooter at spots as well...this is what used to drive me to shoot so much.. to be able to beat him , even though i only ever beat him twice... he always put pressure on me to shoot and now hes back.. so the first day he sets up a Hoyt Turbotec and gets everything sighted in.. then he proceeds to whip me good at a 450 vegas round.. then he whips my good again in league tuesday night...but i loved it because it made me bear down and concentrate.. so friday night hes feeling cocky and we shoot off for a 300 5 spot round...he shoots 20 X the first game and i had just 18 X.. i then turned it on and only missed 1 more X out of 40 shots.. so i shot 300-57X and he shot 300-55X.. not bad for his first 300 , 5 spot round after a 2 year layoff ! but the thing is i have never had such great concentration ever .. i was totally focused on just making 1 perfect form shot after another... nothing else ever entered my mind.. i will say the last 5 arrows were kind of tough but i made them .. im so glad hes back..i cant just express how much i needed that tight competition in my shop to make me shoot better... Thanks Jason .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Tony, that is just so cool! I can tell it pleased you immensely to have your old buddy back. Obviously he's had - and continues to have - a very strong influence on you. And you have shown yourself how high a level you can reach with the proper mind set. Nice going, man. Haven't been here much lately - more like feeling like crawling under a rock. Improving now and will hopefully shoot for score by Sunday.

MCH Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Not so proud of tonight's shooting....285. I purchased a dozen new arrows off the internet. They appear to be about 1/64 of an inch longer than my old arrows. I shot them at 30 last night and a few of them appearred to be grouping left. At 20 however, they seemed to be on. Today, they were grouping right at 20. The wind was blowing to the left. At times, it would move my bow. I think subconciously I was pulling right to offset the wind. I tore up the right 9 and even landed two 8's. I've got this week off, since there's not a tourney nearby. I might go to the pro shop and shoot in their indoor range.

Canuck2 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores Well, I just shot a sizzling 291. I have more excuses than Carter's got kidney pills, but I think I'll just sulk instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores man where do i start .. ammoman score was 295.. i shot an 8 ! yuck... oh well it was fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores 296 here, and I'm happy as a lark... Also shot a 300 22X on my five spot. Thought I could've shot a little better. Punched a couple of shots. But I've been shooting pretty good lately. I hope I keep it up because I'm gonna need it at the Paris, TX tourney.

Canuck2 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Competitive Archery League Scores No matter, Tony. It was fun regardless. I think a lot of us are switching gears about now anyway and heading off to 3D. I no longer have a pin set at the ammoman distance. But we must do this again next year - perhaps start even earlier. Thanks for looking after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
