300

DC:
I recently extended my backyard range to 18 meters(20yds) so I marked up my target like a FITA target and I've been shooting a few 300 rounds each day. I'm not terribly impressed with my shooting. After 5 days and 10 rounds my low score is 75 and high is 126, average 98. I've been shooting for two years. Can anyone compare this with their results?

Swamp Thang:
Never tried keeping score.....but I myself due to the nature of my job didn't get to shoot for months and when I picked it back up I was all over the place.

If you have the trust and time might I suggest following these steps for one week and let us know if they work for you. Stand five yards away and keep sinking arrows (not too many otherwise risk damaging good arrows) until you can pull back and release at anchor without aiming much move two steps back repeat until over the week. It feels foolish at first but it worked for me.

DC:
I've heard of this. Do you just do this exclusively or can you do other shooting?

My goal is a 230 average or so.. :\ But I hit all over the target, sometimes miss, most of the time.

I think I put 3 arrows in the gold in a row once in my life.

Pat B:
Use a backstop and about 3' in front hang a small object. I use a magnolia seed pod. Shoot at this small object and don't worry about the misses.  I have a piece of 1" metal conduit bent to a tall "U" shape to hang the seed pod from. When you hit it it swings making it interesting to shoot at.   I don't like to shoot at a target per se because there is too much to interfere with my concentration. Shooting at a small object with a neutral background helps me concentrate on that one spot. Even on a large target butt I use a very small spot to shoot at. For me at least a bulls eye target is too busy and interferes with my concentration. Plus, I've never seen a deer with a bulls eye on it's side.
