Why I like IBO better than ASA.....

IBO pays $$!

Finished second (HC)in the IBO Mid Atlantic Challenge held last weekend in NC.

Pretty happy with my first IBO shoot ever.

......but I got SPANKED by the guy who finished first[:-]

Well you better get used to being spanked - the commander is almost set-up

Congrats- that was a tuff one for sure - one or two fives are a killer

Jeff.

The ASA pays out money too but you have to shoot from the mens stakes not the kiddie stakes[8D]

Very impressive Jeff, two second place finishes in a weekend. Doubtful I would do so well. I just shot my first ever 3D course and it was indoors. Didn't shoot bad, but not great either, you're a natural

I don't know about a natural....but it was a first and a second!...lol

Aussie....I've been talking to the guys in the circuit I shoot....and I'm moving back next year. I've shot ONE outdoor 3D before this season.....and I've shot this season so far with three different bows.....just trying to figure out what I like.

I get it, OK.....that's twice, now. ha ha.

I shot the 30 yd course on Saturday and the 35 yd course on Sunday. I shot the same course everyone else in my class did.

Whoops...yep 1st and 2nd...even better right? Either way that's a good accomplishment for what first year of competitive shooting?

Go to the ASA national shoots and they pay all classes except for the novice classes.They have a bigger pay out as well.

Yeah no kidding!.......Went to the PA ASA/Pro Am 3 years ago just to shoot and ASA for fun (we don't have ASA's here) and went home Sunday with $486.

I got $200 just in the pro am shoot alone in Georgia I think.

Not enough pros to shoot pro am so we shot an am am against a group of pros and doubled our money when we beat them.

None of you guys have had the opportunity to shoot the Cabela's shoots. I'm not even sure they have them anymore. I shot two of them in Warren, PA. Lot's of manufacturers were there, lots of pros, etc.. probably over 200 shooters per class and it was a two day shoot, 20 targets each day for 40 target score.
