I got to the point where I didn't care any more, I just wanted the night to finish. It was that end where I scored 10,10,9. The next three scored me 20....
I want to just work on things, but feel pressure to score...maybe when we start shooting outdoors I can go to a quiet end of the line with a boss to myself.

My first observation is that you shot some good arrows, with a load of cr@p. I think there is a possability that you let the good arrows go to your head, got a little exited & with the adrenalin still in your system, shot without realy concetrating on what you should have been doing. ( You tried too hard!) It happens. Your second paragraph says it all to me "
I got to the point where I didn't care any more, I just wanted the night to finish. It was that end where I scored 10,10,9. . You obvoiusly had accepted the result, then shot the 3 good arrows because you stopped trying, you just did it. That's the way to go.
I found out some time ago, that by concentrating too hard, you start to concentrate on concentrating (I seem to remember this in another thread). Try to accept the fact you have just shot a good / bad arrow. it's gone, nothing you can do about it, & get on with the next arrow.
My thought is: There is no bad shot, even a miss is a good shot IF YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM IT.
Ok, there is a bad shot that is the miss you had & did not learn from it.
Others might not agree.
