Who do so many people see 500 as a barrier? They feel comfortable with a 499 but one point more and it suddenly becomes a barrier. AT my club we try to ask the novice archers to shoot unrealistic scores to try to get rid of the number barrier.
I saw the 500 as a barrier because 499 was a regular score no matter what I did I just could not get past it. Then, one day, I thought "What the hell, forget it, & just shoot" I scored 511. A bit of an anticlimax realy, OK, I broke the barrier but the callenge had gone, so I had to create a new "Barrier". You need a goal. I guess it's all between the ears
