I know competition scores are what we commonly see but Chris' (chrstphr on archerytalk) thread on the Korean women's amazing scores prompted me to wonder:
What is your personal best practice score(any round type or endeavor)?
What scores have you witnessed others achieve that you find amazing,inspiring etc?

No need for debate; simply talking for fun/ observation
I'll go first:
My best practice score was when I shot 140 for the first half of a 300 round.
A shot/score that always comes to mind was 10 years ago. I only shot longbow then and was out for a hike with my future wife. At the top of a hill she asked me " can you hit that pine-cone down there"? I said i would do my best for her. She kissed my bow for good luck (awww.. I know lol) I then shot 2 arrows and made a 2" group, touching and moving the pine cone. I remember being very relaxed and completely in the zone. She exclaimed "WOW you really are good". Pacing off the downhill shot came to 84 steps. Welp, I wasn't as good as it seemed but it was a memorable practice round none the less.
As far as someone else's practice scores, I always find the blind archers shooting and practice amazing. Talk about "feel". Very cool.
Now your turn. Don't be afraid to talk about yourself-- that's the point; to inspire.
Ok. Stories and scores. Go!
Ps I just posted this over at archerytalk if you want to read what some of the folks over there will have to say.
