Hi all,
I took up compound last year and will be shooting my first outdoor competition in 4 weeks - an Albion. Over the winter I've been working on my technique and improving my equipment (I now have a decent sight and matching arrows!) and am very pleased to have recently brought my handicap down to around 30. Using the Archers Mate handicap tool I estimate that I should be trying for a score of around 880 in the Albion if the day is dry and calm, but how can I estimate what scores I should be getting at each distance? I've been able to get sight marks for the 3 distances but haven't had a chance to shoot a full round in practice yet.
Is there a generic percentage dropoff in scores for each distance - i.e. -5% between 50 and 60, -15% between 60 and 80, or something like that? Results sheets only ever post the total score so I can't see what others have been shooting at each distance...
Failing that, is anyone willing to share their scores or dropoff percentages at these distances?
Many thanks!
Pippa
