Indoor-Mania 2012

Pictures are a bit out of order ... so I'll just have to caption them as I go. I think you can probably put the pieces together. I shot the FL Archery Association NFAA and NAA indoor rounds along with the NFAA SE Sectional. I did FAA, NFAA, and NAA for longbow and FAA and NAA for compound freestyle.

First the numbers.
Adult female longbow, NAA: 380/600 x2/60, 402/600 x2/60, total 782/1200 x4/120. Not a personal best in the big picture but a very strong score nonetheless given the rounds were late at night and/or after a LONG day of shooting. These were the colorful targets.

Adult female longbow, NFAA: 211/300 x3/60, 195/300 x3/60, total 406/600 x6/120. Again, not a personal best but still pretty darned good, especially considering I had 3 shots where I forgot which target I was supposed to shoot at! These were the blue and white targets.

I noticed I had a tendency to do some vulture-like posturing and my shooting style became a lot more "punchy" (ie, faster than usual but also a lot more decisive when I did "punch" my shots).

And then there was adult female compound freestyle, NFAA: 296/300, 31x with 18 inside-out... and 292/300, 27x with 10 inside-out... for a grand total of 588/1200 with 58x of which 28 were inside-out. THOSE were personal best scores by a long-shot. My last NFAA 300 round personal best was in the low 270s with the same setup and thicker arrows. I was extremely amazed to put it mildly!
