We went to Wingfield, near Chesterfield today, LNER archey club held a 50/50 shoot. That is 50 arrows @50mtrs, 10-zone scoring & 50 arrows @ 50yds, 5-zone scoring . I did not do very well at 50mtrs, in fact, I WAS LOUSY. I scored well under 350 I can't remember what it was, but it wasn't good. At the 50yd mark, I did get 2 5-Gold ends (The end consists of 5 arrows in this shoot) this was much better. I do not understand how such a great difference of performance can be affected by such a short difference of distance. However there you go.
I did manage to claw back quite a few points, but not enough, I ended with a score of 785 (I think).

What was/is my problem? I could blame my equipment, but I should look to myself first. Yes, equipment does come into it, I think I should have shot my old ACC's, & not my new Tripples. The Tripple/Bow combination has not realy been tuned in: my fault I have also discovered that I have started to move my arm in an upward direction with a touch of side movement away from my face. NOT GOOD this will interfere with arrow flight. Another point to ponder; am I concentrating enough, or am I just letting go when I'm in the Gold, & trusting to luck???
Time will tell, I'll just have to wait & see
