@ Liverpool City Archers
Sunny, no wind

30 arrows warmup at various distances on field faces
24 Target Marked FITA Field round

Total 102

Shot the second day of the Liverpool Bi-Tournament today with the field round.
Having only shot the field course once before with a previous score of 288, I was hoping for an improvement in score relative to a rating of 82 (331).  That said, I wasn't very confident in my field settings nor being able to adjust and compensate appropriately.  I only normally shoot field for Nationals, and haven't even shot State Field either.

Todays score was a 314, including 1 miss where I set my sight setting to 11 by mistake instead of 1, missing the 20cm bugs eye at 15m entire by about 2cm above the centerline.  Other than that, besides one target where my sight settings were wildly off (a 45m downhill shot off a mound position) the rest were reasonable.  On the rating tables, a 314 is a 76,

Overall in the two-day event, I placed second, edging out Steve Kilgannon by five points across the two days, having beaten him by 15 points yesterday with him clearing me on the field by 10 points today.  Sadly I didn't shoot sufficiently to catch up to Michael.  But, coming second I think in a range of really good archers is pretty good methinks.
