"Good thing is there's nowhere to go but up from here."

That had me laughing becuase I have been there out on the course.  Best advice I can give is relax.  I have a hard time doing that for some reason and I don't start doing ok until about midway of the course.

I don't shoot well in front of an audience. If you've done well before, you'll do well again with the new equiptment.  :archer2:

battman, I'm sure you'll improve. Keep the faith. I shot my umpteenth 3d shoot on Sun. and "there's nowhere to go but up from here". I think I missed 6-7 maybe 8 targets. By far my worst outing. I've been fighting target panic for what must be pushing 2 years now. I had things going pretty good in the back yard and thought I was getting on top of it, went out in public and...KAPOW!! Oh Well, I guess I'll hitch up my pants, roll up my sleeves and get back at it. I WILL BEAT THIS THING!

I think the hardest thing for me to do was focus on a spot.I wonder if they'll mind if I run up to every target and put an orange sticker on it?Thinking about hitting another one here in a couple weeks.

Tony,

I broke four arrows at our last club shoot and that was not my first time at a 3D...or breaking arrows.  Bill Stroupe likes it when I get in that zone. Lol

The thing about 3-D is you can't beat yourself up on it because you probably would not have taken all the shots presented prefering to wait for a better shot, at least the ones I have shot.

It does make you a better shot though, so please continue.
