Saturday 7th May 2011

@ Northern Archers
Cold morning start, sunny, barely a breeze, turned warmer.

2x 10 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm, warmup
2x 6 arrow ends @ 70m, 122cm, warmup
QRE F70/720
4x 6 arrow ends @ 50m, 80cm 6-ring, warmup
QRE F50/720

Total 200

In an effort to warmup faster, I tried to shoot more arrows in the warmup, so shot two lots of ten arrow ends instead of the six.  I don't know if it really did anything useful since I have been sick (thus not shoot any at all since Wednesday), and had overslept so rushed over without a proper breakfast either.  I was still not feeling best of conditions today with a bit of coughing still happening during the day.

Not much to comment on the shooting in terms of technique, it was pretty mediocre.  

QRE F70/720
1) 48 47 46 47 51 54 = 288, 3 X, 4 X+10's
1) 45 54 48 55 45 49 = 296, 2X, 9 X+10's
Total 5X, 13 X+10's for a 579

QRE F50/720
1) 47 47 49 44 47 45 = 279 0X, 3 X+10's
2) 43 53 46 47 50 51 = 292 0X, 4 X+10's
Total 0X 7X+10's for a 571

A bit ordinary if you look at it as a whole, but I was satisfied with a 296 and 292 as individual round ends for the 70m and 50m respectively.  I believe that my round averages are moving up, it is a matter of improving consistency.
