10th February 2007 - NSW State Short Course Championships & Northern Club League

NSW State Short Course Championships
@ Homebush
Hot, humid, some wind later on in the competition.

FITA 900
24 arrows @ 60m practice

60m: 54, 51, 53, 53, 54 = 265, rating 84
50m: 55, 55, 52, 52, 55 = 269, rating 79
40m: 53, 55, 57, 55, 56 = 276, rating 72
Total: 810, rating 80
Average rating: 78.3

I came in 4th place.
Sadly, 2nd place and 3rd place was on countback of X and 10's.
Further more, 2nd and 3rd place scored *811*.
Which meant, one little point seperated 2nd, 3rd and 4th place....
~sigh~

  • Reasonable ends of shooting
  • Head Rotation worked well
  • Good focus for most part of the shoot.
  • The release was a bit patchy, having to remember deep grip during the 40m
  • Needing to slow down, averaging 80 seconds remaining in each end. Could afford more rest time between shots.
@ Northern
Club League Townsville round.

12 arrows @ 70m practice

70m: 49, 40, 40, 52, 40, 47 = 268, rating 69
60m: 48, 48, 55, 51, 52, 50 = 304, rating 76
Total: 572, rating 72
Average rating: 72.5

I came in 5th with the handicap system, shooting 1 above my rating of 71.

  • I wasn't very happy with my shooting
  • Inconsistent shots traveling far right
  • Arm drop was very large when not focussed and concentrating hard
  • Very tired, even though I had not shot that much for the short course, could be considered as competition fatigue apparently
  • Arm rotation was a total loss also
