Getting closer, and WOW, equipment DOES make a difference.

Shot 298 42x today. But what really has me all adither is that I was shooting a new set of arrows. I just got a dozen Easton Redlines, which have a considerably smaller diameter than the aluminums I had been using. So I may have missed out on a line cutter or two.

However, I matched this new batch as carefully as I could and shot 3 that all weighed within a tenth of a grain of each other. For me, the results were astounding.

So yesterday I tried them out for the first time. Just took 10 shots at a 3 spot, same size rings as the 5 spots. Got all 5's with 8 x's and could hardly wait to get out today. And, as I said, hit 298 42x. The 2 missed points were me all the way.

These arrows fly so nice and true. I keep thinking I've been bonking my head against a brick wall for no good reason, trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. So we'll see if these help in the long run. Hey, if it's good for the mind, do it - right? grin.gif

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

im already seeing results from my coaching class. i shot my highest 450 round ever and smashed my total baby X count. grin.gifcool.gif

i shot a 444 out of 450 vegas rouind with 28 baby Xs. my previous best score was 444 with 19X .

the 6 shots that i missed were due to loss of concentration not from bad shot execution .

Shoot Strong

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Shot my Ovation for score for the first time. I scored 300-41x but really shot better than my score implies. I wore out 5 holes on the 6 o'clock x. If I would have moved 2 or 3 clicks I shot a good enough groups to score in the low to mid 50's. Not a single arrow was left or right and only had 2 that were touching blue. But, not one was over half way up the x and most were on the line. ACC's at 280fps don't help either.

Really happy with the way the Ovation fits me and holds. Making back tension feel right.

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Shot first tourny. Man, I just can't pull it back together. shot 296 35someodd x's. I think it is my releasing. Shooting thumb trigger and I trained my subconscience to jerk as soon as my pin hits that x. I have to retrain my subconscience mind....been listening to Mental Management cd's by Lanny something. Really good, and listening to it made me realize what I am doing. Probably will not join leagues next month, just need to work on my shooting. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! tongue.gif I was so close to the 300, now it seems so far away!!!!! I guess it's like Dan said.....I'm still young and this is my first competitive season. Shoot staight

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Shot a 3D course at the bowhunter club I belong to. They score the 10 ring as an X, the 8 ring as a 10 and anything else as a 0. This club credits kill shots only.

The first time through the course I shot a 290-29X. I fell out on one shot. This still was a PB for X count for me. Second time through I shot 300-24X.

Weather was perfect. We had a very good turnout surpassing 50 shooters. I think there were alot of people shaking the dust off after a long winter.

i shot 299-50 X in league last night and while i dont let score bother me it did make me determined to concentrate better.

so tonight i went in and shot a huge round. 300 -58X . ooo.gifgrin.gif just had one of those nights when everything just goes off perfect. i was concentrating on making just 1 perfect form shot. i ended up shooting 76 out of 80 Xs . i had the first 40 straight in scoring . the shot a 3X end ? can you say pressure . hehe

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Wow Tony, that IS huge! A hearty congrats to you on a fine round like that. smile.gif

And finally I have hit the magic 300! Did 'er tonight, a 300 37x. WOOHOO!!

Started off a bit sloppy and had 2 shots in the first 6 that were half way out of the 5. But then knuckled down and became increasingly focused the more I shot. Also had 22 of the x's in the second half.

Made my day. grin.gif

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Shot two different courses today.........I'm exhausted..

Had troubles on the first course with yardages from 35-45yds. I was seeing these targets as 3-4yds short all day. I had so many jarlicker 6 o'clock 10's it wasn't even funny. Way too many 8's in this area. Ended up with a 385/400.

Second course was at the hunt club I belong to. Shot Ok with a 300-22X out of 300-30X. Ranges here didn't get much past 35yds.

My daughter shot a personal best today with a 240-10X. She is getting that trigger under control and her score is reflecting it. I need to get her back into shape, she was dragging towards the end.

Re: Post your 2004 scores here.

Yeah....no more easy wins, like the one at leagues crazy.gif Have shot better and have shot worse....but I really can't complain for shooting 2 rounds back-to-back. 297 43x 297 30x.

I was getting lazy and then Dean Pridgin (sp??) told me what I was doing....didn't drop any more arrows in the first round after that. Second round just plain got tired. Shot good first half and then I was shaking all over like there was a 250" nontypical under me. I guess I did okay for first big shoot, but there is definatly room for improvement.

I am glad I found out what was wrong because I had been having trouble for a couple weeks not knowing what I was doing....just wasn't following through. 300, here I come!!!!.....after I get some rest. Man am I beat!! crazy.gif
