RE: First Tournament of the Year
Thanks Bob! I was really proud of my son--he's been struggling the last two years. He has grown a LOT, got glasses, got braces....he went from being able to hit pretty much what he wanted (from a kid's distance) to not being able to hit much at all. Then he got the bright idea of trying to mimic a friend of mine, who is accurate but has a VERY unorthodoxed style (even Rod Jenkins said he's never seen anyone anywhere near that accurate that shoots that way--kind of a modified Asbell snap-shooting style). Well, it worked for my son like most everyone else--lousy. Saturday he had his form down, his focus was good (most of the time), and he shot the best he has in a long time.
Chris, the course will probably be a walk in the park for you, but it's a lot of fun. Usually fairly close shots, but brushy, awkward, etc. Real similar to the Jerry Pierce at Enid, or the ASTB shoots. April is not a serious shoot--most of the course is novelty shots. September is the biggest one, the charity shoot. We raffle off a new bow (CM), lots of door prizes, free food, and usually one of the biggest crowds of the year. I try to get there every month--great people, and the course is great--challenging enough for experienced shooters, but easy enough for beginners not to have to worry about hunting arrows at every target.
Good luck with the Triple Crown--keep us up to date on howit goes.
