I agree 100% with what Bisch said.
3d archery archery scoring is much like golf to me and score variances from one course to the next can have a big impact on average scores. I've always been of the thought that if you can keep them all in the 8 ring, your basically staying at "even par" and any score above that is just a bonus. If you can get to the 8 point average per shot, for most courses your looking at being in the top 30ish percent of scores which is great.
I can remember starting out, my goal was to not lose or break any arrows, then it went to not missing any targets, then onto getting to the 8 average, then trying to go through a course without any 5's. Of each of these steps in my progression as an archer, I think all of them were equally as challenging to reach and looking back, reaching each of these goals was 98% mental. My biggest peace of advice is if you make a bad shot on target "5", try to figure out what mistake you made, then forget about it and move on to target "6". Likewise, if you make a great shot on target "6", forget about it and move on to the next target. I KNOW its extremely hard to do sometimes, but once you can break that barrier of not letting any prior shots you've made (good or bad) dictate the outcomes of future shots, then moving on from one goal to the next is much easier.
