I am new to this as well Darkside, 1 year in loving it, 6 months of comps with mixed results I have started to notice a taste for certain grounds who throw long high targets hitting my best scores (84s) with the tight faster grounds costing me around 10 targets ( currently focusing on shooting faster).
I am looking forward to the Open ( shooting squad 125) I shoot there monthly so will be an interesting line in the sand on my progress.
Good luck - Hope for good weather its in a Welsh Valley!
