Oh, I'm nowhere near any of the lists. "Not too shabby" by my standards means "only the one outer" normally!Dougan wrote:Hi Gaz,
It appears only the prize list is published, and there's still a lot to search through there...I'm curious; what sort of scores did you put in?...I want to see if I'd show myself up - I don't think I'd get on the prize list anyway...from looking at that, it seems that anything less than a 'V' is dropping one...
And!...Is that the Mr G Morris on this forum who won the Daily Telegraph with a 75.13 !!??

OK, I didn't realise it was 'classed', which would make it worth maybe shooting a few individual comps just for fun...Gaz wrote:Oh, I'm nowhere near any of the lists. "Not too shabby" by my standards means "only the one outer" normally!Dougan wrote:Hi Gaz,

Bear in mind the prizelists also work by class, to combat the "dropping a V means not getting anywhere" routine. Class X and A tend to dominate the top of the lists but it's quite possible to get into the places reserved for the Os and Ts (I did years ago and wound up in the Chairman's Prize, which was a novelty but it broke my T and relegated me to obscurity forevermore!). For the class O lists it's usually possible to squeak on with 48+ and a decent V-bull count.

Personally I reckon it's possible to shoot 48+ regularly in TR so long as you don't fire the bad shots.
2+7s have a slightly different dynamic to 2+10s. It is easy to put pressure on yourself by thinking 'I can't afford to drop a shot here', but in reality you should be thinking quite the opposite. After all, you get 2 attempts at the first two shots (convertible sighters), then after that you only have 5 more to go. Easy! It should be much easier to get a 34/35 than a 49/50.Dougan wrote:...that doesn't solve the problem of the Queens though - just to get through the first round you can't drop more than 3 shots in the first 21...which really means you need to be consistently shooting 49 minimum...which is my best score out of 4 shoots at 300 and 600 this year :roll:
Gaz (the other one) is sending me his training program...so I may be able to find a few things that I can do at home to make up for my lack of range time...
Anyway; regardless of scores, well done for competing...maybe see you there one year...
Aye - 2+7s are much easier than 2+10s. Less time to get tired, for one! It's mostly psychological - you can afford to drop a shot at each distance, or go clean at 300x and have a snafu at the longer distances. Take a look through your scorebook: I bet you'll find a few shoots where you've got seven consecutive shots on target all inside the bull.rox wrote:2+7s have a slightly different dynamic to 2+10s.

Gaz, I appreciate your encouragement, but that hasn't helped :lol: ...Gaz wrote: Take a look through your scorebook: I bet you'll find a few shoots where you've got seven consecutive shots on target all inside the bull.
Adopting a GazM-style anal analytic stance your average is therefore 32.75 ex 35, which means you need to improve by only 4% to make a 102 and have a good chance of passing the cut. You're practically there already!Dougan wrote:but that hasn't helped :lol: ...
In the last 6 shoots at 300 I've dropped 3,3,2,2,0,3 in the first 7 shots
In the last 6 shoots at 600 I've dropped 2,1,2,2,3,4 in the first 7 shots
