The distance was two sections consisting of 6 rounds of 6 arrows each, at a distance of 70M.
I was the only person under 18 participating and many of the people who were competing do archery for a living so i wasnt expecting to win but as practice for the Nationals which are next month, but i faired much better than i thought, and the results arnt in yet, but i think that i might have scarped a qualification for the national team.
A very good score would be 300-310 out of a possible 360 points per section.
On the first day my scores were 242 and 243, which i was not dissappointed about considering the little amount of practice i did in preparation.
My scores on the second day weere much better and on par with the scores of the more serious adult competitors: 284 and 287.
My scores on the final day were better yet and it is these scores that might get me a place on the national team because they don't average your scores in consideration but take you two best scores from the three days in consideration: 290 and 304.
This experience greatly increased my awareness of my strengths and areas for growth through my drastic improvement through the course of the competition, and I developed new skills through the experience i gained, learned to better work collaboratively with others despite the fact that archery isnt a team sport because i was able to interact with people who i usually would not, such as people that do archery for a living, most often on contract by one of the armed forces.
