Tonight we had a 3d/spot shoot at the shop. I'm not as good at dots so I opted out for that but I was game on for 3D. I ended up comming in 5th behind a semi pro for Mathews, who got first. I should have had a solid 3rd but I screwed it up in the last round and actually shot down for that round. I was pleased, with taking 5th out of 30 some odd shooters with a borrowed scope and borrowed, overpined arrows. I should be in buisness next week though. I have a new scope, arrows and spring steel headed my way now. I've got room to improve, but I'm getting ready to start working with Nathan a little (the Mathews guy). He's the best shooter I've seen in person, by far.
Here's some pictures I got for the night.

My Boss, shooting spots.
This guy is a machine. I've seen him shoot 300 52x's on a 5spot and a 300 20 on a Vegas face, 30 arrows.
We usually have around 30 in our indoor shoots, too. You did good.
One thing I noticed.......almost everyone is shooting thumb releases (or BT). There's something to them, I guess.
Yeah Jeff, it's the way to go. Once you get up into the Pro rankings, it's about a split, as to what the pro's are shooting. I'd say more are shooting BT instead of Thumb, but that's just a guess. Nathan, the guy in the picture, shoots an ST-3, and it's set HAIRY! Somehow he still pulls on it though.
3D shoot tonight..
