Improvement game.

[buzz lite beer]

Whilst playing some of the flash games that I and others have posted on here I noticed that the score was recording the string of success then when you failed the counter was reset, Had a go at the club the other day and got most of the other members involved, Got everyone to pick a distance they are comfortable with, and see how long a string of golds they could maintain at that chosen distance, there are many variables you can throw in, how long a string of shots with out coming out of the red for instance, you could see the intensity of peoples efforts increasing over a normal practice session, and many stayed noticeably longer trying to set new PB's

I play this game with my intermediates. I call it "Better Than". They have to shoot a dozen arrows all within a given scoring ring. When they've achieved that they go in a ring. If they put one outside the old ring it's back to the previous ring.

Good games!

Another game you can play is to set an average (say an 8) as zero, 9 as -1 10 as -2, 7 as +1, 6 as +2 etc. Then set a starting point (e.g. 25)

The aim of the game is to get from 25 to zero. If you shoot a 7 (in this case), it goes up to 26. If you shoot a 10, it goes down to 23.

This can be easily adjusted by skill level (get them to shoot a dozen and take an average or adjust penalty values) and duration (make the starting point 50 instead of 25).

Thats similar to one of our club christmas fun shoots,
we start by taking about 6 playing cards, joker included, then have a scoring system, eg blue no score, clubs reverse 10 zone scoring, joker swap with the person on your target, spades 5 zone scoring ect. shoot 3 arrow ends, before collection someone picks a card, eg clubs, score arrows( inner gold becomes 1 and outer white becomes 10). 2 doz arrows later a winner is found.it is a great game. not too serious .
