Friday 17th December 2010

@ St Pauls
Started cloudy and overcast, ended up sunny and bright, with odd wind gusts

2x 6 arrow ends @ 70m 122cm warmup
2x 36 arrow rounds @ 70m 122cm scored
1x 6 arrow end @ 70cm 122cm warmup
2x 36 arrow rounds @ 70m 122cm scored
3x 6 arrow ends @ 70m 122cm cooldown

Total 180 arrows.

Scored for my double Olympic rounds.  First two were a 281 and 295 for a total of 576, the second was a 276 and 280 for a total of 556.  Both lots were slightly disappointing due to a lot of 6's and even the odd 5 or 4 here and there.  If, on average those arrows were one point better, I would pick up probably another 10-15 points for each set, bringing me to around a 590 for a good set, a much more reasonable round to my progress.

The current goal is a 300 round for a 600 double, slowly working towards a 320 for a 640.  It's early days yet for sure, but I have confidence that I can do it since I had two really good ends, a 56 (10 10 10 10 9 7) and a 51 (with X X 10), I feel that those aren' flukes, but it is more about getting rid of the randoms that ruin the end more than anything else.
