Consistency In Position Setup – A Training Session

Part of this training session is to figure out a way to set up and align yourself in relation to the target in such a way that you end up in the middle every time. This is an ongoing process which, over time, will be refined. Have a look at this post for some tips on how to make it easier. Training on this should preferably be done at the beginning of the season or during off-season. Since it’s related to the position, any changes to it might also mean changes to how you set it up. Come back to this from time to time, especially when you find yourself too far off aim when starting a training session or competition.

Final Scores 1990 to 2012 – Women

A new year with new competition formats is upon us. The first competitions to use the new format have already been wrapped up but many more is to come. We have both national and international competitions, continental championships (like the upcoming European in February) and World Cups. Since the system of firing ten single shots for everyone is now in the past, I thought this might be a good time to look into how the development of final scores over the past two decades has changed. I have written two posts on final scores (and qualification) in the past: Olympics and WC Finals, check those out for more information on the topic.

New Competition Format Used in RIAC and Swedish Cup

This will be a short post with just a few links for anyone interested in how the new competition format might work.

2013 has just started and with it all rule changes come into play. The main one, and the one that will affect competitions from now on is the new competition format. As all of you are probably aware of by this point, finals will from now on start from zero and of a knock-out style. For the top two shooters this means 20 shots and a maximum of 218 p (decimals included). Considering what elite shooters are currently scoring in finals, a more reasonable score is closer to 210 p (105*2) to take the gold.
