Hooked On Spots!

I am getting into shooting these daggum spots, especially the Vegas face.

I cannot shoot a 300 to save my life though! I have shot two 299's, a few 298's, more 297's, etc. but always seem to blow it due to a lack of a strong mental game I reckon.

I made it all the way to the 8th end the other night before dropping my only shot on the way to a 299/16x.

I am gonna do it sooner or later. I am shooting skinny arrows with a BHFS set up BTW.

If I could learn to let down a few times a round when I start to come apart at full draw I think I would do better. Thus far I just muscle through the shot and usually end up with something out of the 10.

Anybody else hooked on these little guys?:huh:

yeah, but don't know about vegas style. I saw on another forum a compitition that talked about ends and was eliminating shooters with the lowest number in particular ends.

Vegas face is just a three spot target and a game consists of 10, 3 arrow ends. I like it better than the 5 spot for some reason?

I was shooting a Commander, 56#, 29 3/4", 2613s @ 33" with 300 grains up front.

Friday pretty much sucked with a 292, and then shot 299 Saturday, and 297 Sunday. To give you an idea of what it sounds like in there....

Shooting Spots Is Easy..

...Hitting the spot is the hard part...

2008 I got myself an "Indoor Bow".
Funny thing, My original 3D Bow did the trick....with a set of GT x-cutters non pros (silver lable)
to date 300 25x's....the high life..

Thats it...Have not shot a 300 since....

Congrats to you with the Skinys...


Bow Smith:good shooting..
