Thursday 26th May 2011 - Day 4 Target, Australian National Championships

@ Mt Petrie Bowmen

Warm, light winds at times, dying away to no wind in the afternoon, bright.

2x 6 arrow ends @ blank butt 5m
3x 6 arrow ends @ 90m, 122cm warmup
FITA90

Total 174

Today was the second day of the target championships.  With the miserable effort yesterday and the winds, I was hoping that today would be better overall.  Having set some reasonable windage from yesterday, I was also more confident in being able to group closer to the center of the target at distances.

Putting down the shooting today, I was a bit disappointed with my 90m and 70m results.  While they were overall still better than yesterday, they were much lower than I had hope.  My 50m and 30m results were quite good I felt, with a solid 292 and 327 for the distances respectively.  Those scores are on par with my good shooting levels.

I finished up with a 1086 for today, a 127 point increase from yesterday, but still 100 points down from my personal best range.  But, it was still good experience as I had a lot of frustrating moments, that I now have a better idea on how to control myself to reduce the affect it has on my shooting.
