Sounds like fun, sure is difficult to tell much from a 3D scores though. What do you shoot on a Vegas 300 round?

And that is where it gets tough to compare 3D scores - was it a buffalo target at 20 yards or skunk at 30? With a Vegas or NFAA target, it's the same target, same distane for everyone anywhere. Makes it real easy to compare your shooting with anyone if you want to. Lots of guys don't like to shoot 'paper', it's difficult and brutally honest.

Also changes as how you score changes, 5,8,10 or 5,8,10,11 or 5,8,10,12 and where is the 11/12 ring, center or offset.
Heck even Vegas face has 2 "10" rings, which one you using?
All fun!

Want to take the fun out? Shoot with someone who is actually very good, that's humbling. I did it once with one of the better/top 3D pros who worked in a local shop. I was "ok", well we shot together, he used my bow which was to long for him and he kicked my butt! Was humbling.

All fun! That dime size inner ring is the X ring, you can keep track of X's and use them for tie breakers. If you are keeping your arrows in either one of the inner rings for the entire round then you are shooting very well indeed.

Indoor vegas will test your form . 3-d will test your form and how well you judge yardage. Both challenging, both humbling .

Want some fun and challenge, try traditional. Back when I lived in WNY we had an informal outdoor winter traditional bow 3D league. Shot weekly, early Sunday, snow or not. Scoring was +1 for in the kill zone, -1 outside kill zone, 0 for clean miss. I think they still shoot it.
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone. Everyone knows what they mean. What's more important is time that is known as the little dash inbetween.

My personal best is a 284 25X on the NFAA face.
