Sometimes competing against yourself is the hardest.

Yep better to compete against yourself and try and ignore what your competitors are doing. Hmmm I should take my own advice :lol: :lol: :lol: I always get caught up in trying to beat the A graders.

Keep at it,I know the blokes from your area,shot with them plenty of times,good blokes.There is a fine line between a good average and the best.The main thing is to not let your mind beat you,just keep doing the best you can and accept what comes.You will get better.

Very true Raven very true. Now if I could only put two great stages together in a row that would be just fantastic. Of course it always helps when the wind plays along two stage's in a row. :lol: :lol: Out here it'll be harder first stage most of the time.

Was 700 for us yesterday, bitching wind 6 to 7 minutes at the start thankfully only 5.5 to 6 for me fist stage could only muster a low 51.2 Second stage much better 56.1 wind down to 5 to 4.5 minutes for a total of 107.3 Not a keeper for the club championship but enough to win the F Class COTW :D :D
