Imperial (ie yards) 5 zone scoring, except for the portsmouth round ( 5doz at 20 yds, shot indoors) which uses 10 zone scoringThanks guys.
Another silly question...
Is it a case that if you shoot in yards, you record scores using 5-zone system and if using meters, you use the metric?
I'm assuming that a)122cm face and b)you've only just started archery.At 20y aim for 252+ then move to 30y and aim for 252+.Once you've progressed to 40y shoot 6 arrow ends and aim for 252+.Be patient,and get used to scoring all gold ends before moving up a distance.Just a very basic question here.
If you're shooting 12 x 3 arrows over 20 yards (recurve), what kind of consistent average score is generally considered good enough to warrant progress to 30 yards, then 40 yards and so on?
Ability to shoot a dozen arrows straight scoring 6 or better is usually my guidance on such matters
Of course, some will move up distances even though they can't get all arrows on the FACE at their current distance. :talktothe
Not with my poundage and sight its not.More like drop it to the bottom and sight bar in kinda thingThe difference between 10metrs and 90meters is just 20-30 clicks on your site.
Good advice....but if you can,get someone to check your form first.That way you'll know that what your feeling with you eyes closed is correct form.If you want to work on your technique shoot in 5-10metrs and with your eyes closed in order to feel your body.
I am true fan on short range shooting. this is where things build up.Not with my poundage and sight its not.More like drop it to the bottom and sight bar in kinda thing

Welcome to AIUK addiakogiannis :wave:I am true fan on short range shooting. this is where things build up.
My thinking on this is that the Arrow doesn't know how far away the target is.....There are people who deem short distances as "unworthy"
I can understand the question on this though. From a newbs point of view, I'm itching to push the distance out, once I become a full member I'd really like to start heading towards classifications / handicaps. In my understanding for a gent that means I need to shoot at 50yards/metres (depending on imperial/metric round). I guess I'm a touch childish and impatient and want to do everything now, but every sport I've tried, I've tended to push hard at. It's very easy to be impatient! - I feel the same about buying my own kit too. :sigh:
Last shoot (week 5 of my beginners I pushed out to shoot a long metric IV (40m/30m)), scored 418 from the 6 dozen which I was pretty pleased with. Figured that shooting 500 would be enough to push myself out a further distance, so that's close to the 252 mark except for bias over the two distances (shooting barebow btw)
I guess I will have to work a new mantra.....
