Well i think its good anyhow lol.
Just had to tell someone lol

And now he's really going to rub it in by saying he shoots longbow.

Like everyone says, 570 after only 8 months, no matter what you're shooting, is excellent.

Or am I stealing Dave's copyright also.

Well done merv.

As Dave said

oi! you two, stop using my excuse....

If it's good enough for the ubermeister, it's good enuff for me.

Who was it who said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

That's really good shooting, well done! My PB for the Portsmouth is 546 after two years, I'm trying hard to crack 550.

I shot a 309 Frostbite this morning, which was a PB - beat my best score by 3 points after 18 months! Ah well, it's fun trying...

Well done MrT

Bettering a PB is always something to be pleased about.

Well done . Can I ask you, "What is your mental state when shooting"? What I mean is, do you try, & concentrate into the gold, or do you just "Do it"? I have found that by concentating, you start to concentrate on concentrating, more so than concentrating on the gold itself, thereby missing what you are after more often than not.
Just a thought

[merv]

yeah know exactly what you mean cliveanne,i can nearly guarantee that if i stare at the gold and will the arrow into it the bugger wont do it lol.
Someone on ebay has a great user name which i think is very pertinent to archery which is FEEL- DONT- THINK i think it sums it up beautifully or maybe its DONT-THINK-FEEL either way you get the message.
Personnaly if i concentrate on anything its keeping the form tight.
What does everybody else think about or not as the case may be?

Well done Merv, I think thats a brilliant score after only 8 months.

I had my first lessons in June so have been in the sport for 6 months. My best score for a Portsmouth is currently 551, so you have now given me something to aim for within the next couple of months.

Watch this space............

I think that some of us had better watch out we are being passed by these "High flyers" , first merv & now panrixx.




WELL DONE TO YOU
