DRAW MATRIX CHALLENGE … How High Can You Score with This Draw Control Drill?

[kanzzo]

That's a good idea for a short version, but I think I still like the current long version (4 distances, 5 draw amounts, 60 shots total).

I will give it a try

I prefer the long version (5 shots each), that is scored straight up one point per successful shot, right?

Correct. The original version had 100 shots (1 point each).

FYI, the latest version has only 48 shots. I killed the stop shots (because they are not draw shots, and since they required a different measurement of success, and since it reduces the total number of shot required even more). The links are the same:

• draw matrix spreadsheet
• draw matrix PDF file

FYI, I will not be making any more changes in the draw matrix drill going forward. This is the final version.

Also, soon I will announcing a Challenge with significant money prizes (and Dr. Dave Merch discounts to all participants) to see who can score the highest on both the draw matrix drill and the follow matrix drill since they will soon be new BU Exams. So start practicing and recording your sessions.

Here are the current (and final) score sheets for both:

• draw matrix spreadsheet
• draw matrix PDF file
• follow matrix spreadsheet
• follow matrix PDF file

If I may, it would be interesting if those who do this also let us know what their Fargo is too.

I imagine that the score I get as a 560 will differ just a bit from the studs here. Having that perspective could give me some insight to gauge improvement along the way...

Good idea.

Yes.

The final versions with full documentation can now be found as BU Exams VII and VIII here:

I will be announcing the official Challenge (with money prizes) very soon. I look forward to seeing you place high.

I look forward to seeing you place high.

It's a very nice challenge and a great practice for my draws. I would have practiced it anyway. Finishing high on an official challenge is definitely additional motivation.

Perhaps having an extra trophy for the best AZB'ler?

I might have difficulties competing with Tobias Bongers, Shane Van Boening oder Joshua Filler. But I have definitely a fair chance to finish on top of the AZB leaderboard.
