Tuesday 21st July 2009, Outdoor Indoor practice

@ St Pauls

Warm, Sunny, light odd breeze. Very un-winter weather.

Due to the State/National Indoor Championships this weekend, one of our club members who is competing wanted to do some 18m indoor practice. Thus we shot a FITA Indoor 18m 600 and scored accordingly. I chose to use a 3 spot target face with a X-6 ring only.

2x 9 arrow ends @ 18m as warm up
10x 3 arrow ends @ 18m scoring, 40cm face
10x 3 arrow ends @ 18m scoring, 40cm face

6x 6 arrow ends @ 30m, 122cm face, no scoring.

114 arrows shot total.

The scoring from the ends:
1) 56 55 54 57 54 = 276,
Average round 55.2, round rating = 82,
Australian 18m 300 rating = 80

2) 50 55 53 51 54 = 263
Average round 52.6. round rating = 72
Australian 18m 300 rating = 70

With a total for the FITA Indoor 18m 600 = 539
Rating = 74

Not too shabby.

Points from todays shooting:

Control. Control. Control. Had excellent control in shooting the 3 spot face.
With increased control, shooting cycle time increased leading to fatigue.
Maintain relaxed state and release when the clicker is through and aimed, no rushing = good shots.
Pushing with the left arm helped immensely.
Still need to maintain a deep hook on the release hand as while taking time and relaxing, hand was opening up making it extremely difficult to get through the clicker.

Am aiming with right eye only, but this seems to be a distance issue since I could aim at 30m with both eyes open fine. Will have to work more on sight picture.
