Qualifying Ranking Event 04/10/2009

Held a QRE at Paringa Archers with the aim of gaining a second qualifying score for the Commonwealth Games squad... minimum score to make the squad is 1360 points and I need 3 scores of 1360 or better to qualify for the squad. I had already shot 1 qualifying score of 1376. The day was great weather wise, I was feeling ok with my shooting and I was trying a couple of different things with my equipment. 

1: slightly shorter draw length - I was thinking that this might help out a little more in windy conditions but it felt cramped and aiming was not as steady.

2: different positioning of the arrow rest - No real problems here, I have the blade of the rest positioned over the wrist. I had read about Jesse Broadwater of USA using this set up and his reasons for doing so... so, I thought I would give it a try. It has not made things worse, so I will keep playing with that one.

The day ended with me shooting 1385 (331-350-345-359)... happy to get my second qualifying score..... now just 1 score to go.
