1st 3-d. . . the wall o shame.
Scowler:
The main thing is that you went out and had some fun ( I hope). The next time you go to a scoring 3-d shoot don't concern yourself about your score. Just try to work on improving your shooting/accuracy and having fun.

While I agree that 3d's should be shot for fun, the score does give a pretty accurate read-out of our distance limits. For me, that is a huge motivator to practice. Sadly, they don't do 3d's nearly as much down here in Texas and my practicing has slipped a lot after moving into a development. I will say this, the most fun I've ever had shooting was at 3d's was when a group of us walked the course after everybody else was done and made up shots. That was flat-out awesome. I miss the old club and it's outdoor range.
Don't be too hard on yourself PB, it will get better and better. You will see unbelievable things at 3d's. I once took a shot with about a 2" window between saplings just before the target. The heavy douglas fir shaft caught the tree on the left and flew to pieces. When I got up to the coyote it had 3 different sections of arrow stuck in it. I lobbied to add the 3 scores together, but they made me take the score of the piece with the point. Thankfully it was an 8. :)

I measure my success on 3d courses by the amount of arrows I left with and came back with.

You win if you loose them all right??
PEARL DRUMS:
Heck no! If I bring in 4 arrows and step out with four arrows it was a success. Really bad shots usually dont let you find them!
