I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD MY TWO CENTS, THIS PAST YEAR I STARTED BACK INTO 3-D AND BOWHUNTING AFTER 5 YEARS OUT, I ONLY SHOT FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS THEN, BUT DID SHOOT OPEN EQUIPMENT CLASSES IN ASA AND IBO EVENTS THAT I ATTENDED USUALLY WITH A HUNTING SETUP. NOW, THIS MOST RECENT YEAR I REFOUND MY HOBBY OF CHOICE, I COULD AND CAN STILL STAND IN THE YARD AND SHOOT 2-3-4 HOURS A DAY AND IT WOULD NOT BECOME BORING FOR ME. LETS FACE IT, TOO MUCH STUFF BREAKS, BENDS, OR RETUNES ITSELF WITHOUT US WANTING IT TO. THIS YEAR I SHOT THE 3RD LEG AND WORLD TROPHY ROUND. I DID NOT DO GREAT IN HC, 340s AND 360s RESPECTIVELY BUT I DID HAVE A GOOD TIME AND SHOT WITH SOME INTERESTING PEOPLE. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I KEPT IMPROVING. THIS GAVE ME SOME SORT OF SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND SATISFACTION. I WILL ALSO SHOOT THIS CLASS NEXT YEAR BUT DONT INTEND TO THE FOLLOWING (MAYBE MBR). I DONT FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD BE ABLE TO OUTSHOOT EVERYONE IN THE CLASS THAT I AM SHOOTING IN EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO DO AT A LARGE SHOOT. ALSO, I LEFT THE WORLD TROPHY SHOOT WITH TWO THINGS, THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I AM IMPROVING AND WILL BE MORE COMPETITIVE NEXT YEAR, AND A COMFORT LEVEL IN MYSELF KNOWING THAT I ACHIEVED MY GOAL OF SHOOTING BETTER THAN BEFORE. NEXT YEAR AT BEDFORD, IM GOING FOR A 380s THEN MORE AT MCKEAN. I DONT SHOOT FOR ANYONE ELSES PLEASURE BUT MY OWN AND BEING ABLE TO BE COMPETITIVE GIVES ME THAT, AND I WILL MOVE ON IN CLASSES UNTILL I CANT ANYMORE. I DIDNT TAKE THE TROPHY HOME FROM THE WORLD, I TOOK SOMETHING MORE.
