My First Round

Did a club short round today, my first one. Felt slightly odd as I only bought new arrows yesterday and all my sights were out. But I was pleased with the results I had. As it was a short round we did 50m and 30m, and I came out wiith a score of 261.

How does that compare with others? Should I be mildly pleased or deeply worried?

You should be very pleased - any achievement better than before is good! There is nothing worse than settling into new equipment.

Well done & keep it up

Thanks Miss P, a blisteringly fast response.

It does give me a starting point and as I did not humiliate myself (too much) in front of the beginner course I feel quite proud.

My round points to a handicap of 63 or 64. But it mostly gives a starting point for me. I guess I'll need to start scoring more rounds now, and see if I'm actually improving at all.

And so begins the grind....

I am a beginner, only got my bow three weeks ago following a course in Jan/Feb. Thoroughly enjoying it tho'. Far more to learn than I thought possible. I guess Robin of Sherwood on UKTV Gold wasn't a great guide to the complexities of a modern recurve. *sigh*

Total noob question alert: -

What exactly is a round? How many arrows at each target?
