@ Homebush Archery Park
Day 2 of Metropolitan Championships
Slightly cooler, still humid at times, sunny but with changing wind conditions, light to medium blustery conditions.
4x 6 arrow ends @ 90m, 122cm practice
FITA90
Total 168.
Being the second day, I had hoped to have a stronger performance than on Saturday, with a score improvement, however the weather conditions didn't really swing in my favour. I had sleep, and I had food, so I had half expected to be able to put in a better performance.
Shooting wise, I did feel stronger and better for it, and to some extent, I think I did actually shoot better through the event, it was just a trickier set of conditions to deal with.
What I scored was down, but not majorly so.
90m: 27 42 35 40 49 29 = 222
70m: 42 43 53 51 48 50 = 286
50m: 19 25 26 26 24 22 25 25 19 26 24 25 = 286
30m: 28 27 24 28 28 29 29 30 29 29 26 29 = 336
Total: 1130
I lost 17 points at 90m, gained 2 points at 70m, lost 10 points at 50m and gained 6 points at 30m.
Putting this into perspective, the two who came 1st and 2nd ahead of me, lost 36 points and also 19 points respectively, so I held quite well against them. The gap though between us was still quite large as my 90m score has really cost me the difference, with them shooting 250-280's for 90m. If I can find a way to improve my 90m consistency, then I am sure I would have a much stronger fighting chance for the FITA90 events.
That said, I was pretty happy to finish up with a solid performance in challenging conditions.
