I often ask students what kind of scores they shoot. More often than not, they do not have an accurate answer.
What is a proper baseline for scoring? It is the scores you shoot in tournaments.
So if someone were to say to me, ‘I average 280’, but it is in practice, not timed and with no pressure, I take it with a grain of salt.
The crucible of competition unmasks every wart in our shots, be they mental, physical, or form related.
If you truly want to understand how good you are, if you are improving and by how much, it is important to understand what are your baseline current scores.
