Did you only shoot 6 shots? Not sure I understand the score...
First time up [MENTION=80736]500[/MENTION] yds in 30-35 mph wind, hitting paper is hard enough for most people.

Good or bad... is a relative thing.
If 52 was the highest score fired, congrats... if the other way around... well, you get the point.
For example, Worlds late Aug. Very calm morning. F Open shooters up to bat first. Highest possible score is 75-15V
Shooters left the line shaking their heads in dismay with ONLY a 75 with low V count. I think winning scores were 75 with 12 or 13 V. at 800yds.
One relays later, shooters are coming by to congratulate a shooter for an amazing display of wind reading... He ONLY shot a 68 - didn't see his V count. Same distance.
So it is always relative to the conditions presented and how you compare to your peer group.

It also depends on what the wind is doing. Two yrs ago I went to the National Matches at Camp Perry for the first ever F Class competition held there. The first match I shot was the first time I'd ever broken 190 in a 20 shot match, I think it was a 191 or a 193. I came off the line from that match with 7½ minutes dialed on, but it was a steady wind. Later that weekend I shot a 180 dropping points out both sides of the target, not nearly as much wind as the first match, but what there was seemed to come from everywhere all at once.
