RE: 3D tips?
3D is what it is........a practice for hunting for some, simple fun with buddies for others right on up to serious competition.
It's a game with a score and as such it will have people that take it to different levels.
Local 3D shoots are the only consistent and real life practice that serious State, and National shooters can get on a weekly basis. I'm out for absolute precision and with unmarked yardage and scoring rings that are hard to pinpoint its simply not possible to be an upper shelf 3D shooter by taking shortcuts.
The issue many people have with the "Serious" types (and I'm one of them) is not having consideration for your fellow shooters. Just like golf, if your slowing play let the faster shooters shoot through andeverybody gets what they want from the same course.
We ALWAYS let faster shooters by, sometimes 2 and 3 groups at a time to keep things moving. Nowwe're not taking 2 and 3 minutes per shooter but with 4 guys it still does take a little time to go through your yardage estimation and make a good shot but there is absolutely no reason to not be considerate of your fellow shooters.
