Default Place your bets....Mount Airy showdown.

GMMAT, buckmaster, and myself are shooting a 3D tournamentnext Sunday, as some may know.


Being the good "bookie" I am, I like to lay out the bets/odds early.


So who's going to win this showdown in Mt. Airy, NC?


Will it be...


Jeff(GMMAT) , battling the new release, but shooting GREAT in the Vegas leagues. He has a little outdoor 3D experience, but not much. Shooting bowhunter setup.

-or-


Will it be Aaron (buckmaster). Shooting his Bear. He just put a new single pin sight on his bow (I think). Has a few outdoor shoots under his belt aswell. Shooting bowhunter setup.


-or-



Will it be Matt (Matt/TN). Shooting the Cardiac. Been shooting pretty stong as of late. Hasn't shot this bow as much. Also, hasn't ever shot an outdoor 3D round but has shot indoor 3d. Also shooting bowhunter setup.



So weigh the odd's a place your bets, and give us some predictions [8D]

My money is on Jeff, the guy puts 110% into everything he does even when he doesnt know it.

Thats what sold it.

I got Aaron by 8


Edit: Prediction stands as of now. Jeff, what release do you plan on using.

Have a great time guys, Good Luck.

I love the descriptions Matt puts on this. Nice spin!

I'm going with (but this has no bearing on me trying, or not. I'll try every arrow)....

Matt.....Aaron.....Me.

In my opinion.....being young and having all the time in the world (and seemingly all the money...lol) to devote to this sport (target shooting) is a HUGE advantage. I'm happy for him. I used to see this a LOT in golf. You had guys living with their parents that were in from or just out of college.....and they could practice and play the game every day. HUGE, HUGE advantage. There's no substitute for it. I'm happy for anyone in this situation.

I have shot one round of 3D with a thumb release. I'm shooting my second, today.

Me and Aaron.....we have fun. We always do.

Aaron....you know how you and I shoot. If Matt's one of those guys who takes 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.....I'll break his neck and we'll leave him on the trail.

Giddyup, Matt

And thanks, Diesel. I take that as a huge compliment. Good or not I'm gonna try.

I do not know Aaron's skills so I am going to leave him out of this prediction....

Matt will be to flustered and making excuses and Jeff will lay it on him.

You talk about how you are a 3D shooter and not a spot shooter and now you say you never shot an outdoor 3D.... D'OH

Where are these shoots at I am looking to go. Is there a website listing the local events? I have been checking a few but it is hard to tell where they are at.

I say whoever is the most "on" will win. How's that for a safe bet. What I'd like to see is the three of you go into an area that none of you know about and do a cold hunt during bow season to see who scores the best. That would be a true challenge and would be exciting to watch.
