To shoot that fast Geoff, are you really Human? I've never been able to shoot three quicker than about 2 mins. Many years ago at a Fita Star I needed a 5 with the last arrow of the day for my 1200. I got blown off the line and lost it. Funny thing was that I found out later that being the only archer remaining the Judge had blown me off the line at 2 mins. Too late then........But worse thing is that now the shooting times have gone to the 4 mins I'll never be able to get even my M.B. back..
