🦅 Saturday, May 2, 2026 | Newton Match – Newton, Iowa (Competition)
This week’s focus is on wind & environmental adjustment — learning how to stay disciplined and make subtle corrections when conditions aren’t perfect.
Athletes will work on staying calm under changing conditions, trusting their fundamentals, and avoiding overcorrections when targets react differently due to wind.
Key practice elements will include:
Developing awareness of how wind affects target flight
Making slight hold point adjustments without overthinking
Maintaining tempo and rhythm despite changing conditions
Trusting shot pattern and fundamentals instead of reacting emotionally
Practicing handicap shooting across all divisions
