Today, I shot my first ever 800 series with an 802.  290, 277, 235. I used my old Hammer Black Widow Bite for all 3 games, the only adjustment I made was an increase in speed toward the end of the 3 game set. Strange thing is I've never shot 300 yet. Is this unusual?

Nice work, young man!! I'm with you with the no 300, but for that matter, have not had an 800 (773).

800 is still hard work in my opinion. 

My two cents . . .
