By the way Recurve...something that really improved my shooting in fairly short order, was shooting the "300 round". Its on a 40cm target like this


You stand at 20 yards and shoot 12 ends of 5 arrows each.... the middle is 5, then 4.3.2.1. as you move out the rings. Best possible is 300. The way you are shooting in that video, I would think you'd shoot a 230+ pretty easy, but its hard to say. Maybe much better?? My best ever is a 263 (barebow) 278 with a sighted recurve. Its cool, cause you can track your progress pretty easily just by looking at the numbers.

Then...when you are ready, you shoot this same target at 30, or 40 yards...

Good Luck!

Thats sweet!  Where can I get some of those???  Lately I have been stump shooting a lot.  Seems to help with the instinctive shot, and there is less pressure to get a perfect shot, so I end up shooting better haha.  Its also fun!

If you google NFAA Blue face target (40CM) you can order them.  Most of the archery clubs have them also.  I shoot a lot of Blue Face during the winter,  at the clubs indoor range,  as it gets to dark after work to shoot outside much.  This will definetly hone your skills!  I even have some on the bales at the house to shoot at.  if you go to:
http://www.lancasterarchery.com/index.php?cPath=53_250&osCsid=e1plpcmd47s102ce3j68i0qia7  they have all kinds of target faces there,  most are pretty cheap.  Keep shooting!  This is the hunter target....

Shooting the blueface 300 rounds is not only good practice but also good for the endurance!  12 ends of 5 arrows,  plus 2 practice ends... 70 total arrows.  My suggestion is if you do shoot this,  and you are not consistently shooting in the 230-240's,  move up to 15 yards until you can shoot those scores there.  Then back up to 20 and you will be all set.  Since you are only a short drive away,  you might want to look into joining the Whidbey Bowmens club,  we shoot an indoor league every year,  both multi color and blue face and currently shooting an outdoor league on Wed nights.  We also have 3-4 3D shoots we hold open to the public.  Our practice range is 20-80 yards,  plus we have a 32 target 3D course and the indoor range.  If I can be of any help just PM me.  Shoot straight!
