Hey at last weekends state trial, i noticed my 30 small scores were really poor as in around 10 to 15 points less than what others who i shot simelar scores to at the other ranges. What ways are there to improve at 30 ?
Cheers

Hmm looks like i put this in the wrong section but shooting more 10's is easier said than done.

If you can shoot 285 indoor you can shoot 340+ at 30m.

Get fit so you don't tire at the end of a FITA, and make sure you keep mentally alert, don't slack off because it's an 'easier' distance :)

come shoot at AIM for a start :wink:

30 is my best by far, the fact i shoot it way too much at aim probably helps.

i'll pass... if i shot at aim, my 90 and 70 would suck, which are by far my best distances, and after today, 50 is up there too, none of which i could do at aim... and i can shoot 30 at mac too... wait... so what does aim have to offer me? :roll: :wink:

Make sure your peep isn't set too low.

I've been caught in the past shooting too low a peep, which results in me shootng great for 90,70 & 50...........but I end up feeling squashd up at 30 and shoot like **** :D

Most important thing about shooting 30m is to relax. Don't get too het up on aiming, as you will not be able to do it well. 30m is a 10 game, just don't think that whilst you're shooting lol. Also, don't think about your score or the score you want (this goes for all distances) however I find it hurts most at 30m, as when I start thinking about how many 9s I can still shoot and break 350, it rarely happens.

Relaxing is key, however you must still be focussed. Don't tense up.
