@ Sefton,

Clear skies, late afternoon with dusk settling in.

5x 6 arrow ends @ 18m, 40cm spot, scoring

1x 6 arrow ends @ 18m, 40cm spot, no scoring.

Total 36.

Scored a 266 round.  I thought it would be much lower than that by how it looked and felt until I added the scores up.  The changing light conditions made it difficult to shoot progressively and appeared that my arrows were getting lower in the target, but the deviation was not that great.  There were two really great releases and shots, with one entire cycle being so perfect, smooth, relaxed that it felt awesome.  The only thing now is to try and recreate it yet again.

I shot two scored Indoor I rounds

1) 274 with 3 X's and 9 10's.

Outliers were  1x 7's and 2x 8's arrows

2) 274 with 5 X's and 11 10's

Outliers were 3x 7's and  1x 8 arrows

A 274 rating comes to a 78 rating, so only 2 ratings off.

I'm quite happy with that.
