Week 3 Update........
 

Here it is guys.

Keep in mind, Huntinged, GoosehunterJr., and myself have all used our 1x allotted missed week. Our average for X count and score from the first 2 weeks were used for the missed weeks and are shown above.

Good shooting guys, and keep up the progress!!

After this weekend I will be done at Harrisburgs 3D event and be able to focus on spots more than 2x a week for the first time since September. I will be attending 3x vegas league nights a week + this league, as well as at least one practice night as well. All of my tuning issues are done now and I will finally have the time to work on my game that I haven't had for months, so you guys better pick it up a notch or two! [8D]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Man alive, we have an all out WAR going on for the top spot....You 2 dudes are shooting extrememly well!!

Turn it up a notch???? Holy moly man, I'm shootin my butt off now, better than I've ever shot.....I need a scope....[8D]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Dang, guys.....I finished second at my 3D shoot, Friday.....and shot the best 5-spot I've ever shot on Thursday of last week (by 9!).

All that....and I moved down. I'm in the wrong league.

[:-]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

yea guys I wanted to shoot this week, but i had two final papers, a 1 hr presentation, and a final... not to mention work.. this going to grad school and working thing is time consuming sometimes [8D] They one day I coulda shot it was snowing/raining so i jsut decided to skip this week...I should be shooting this week...

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Yeah without adjusting handicaps there is no reason for shooters less than 900 to countinue. That leaves only 14 "in the hunt" !

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

If your in this thing to win it and that's all that matters, then yes you are correct and you should probably quit now. If you are in this thing to have fun, get to know the others in this contest a bit better, and learn to be a betterarcher then you might get something out of finishing up the league and shooting the next several weeks. I personally hope you stick around, but it is really up to you.

Wewill have adjusting handicaps for both X count and score for the next league, it is just that as ofwhen this league startedI didn't want to donate the $90 for the software to keep track without knowing how many people would actually follow through and be interested. I also didn't have the several hours a week to manually track and calculate an adjustable handicap at the beginning of the contest, and I am certainly not going to change rules half way through.

Next time handicaps will be calculated based upon best 2 of the previous 3 scores shot. This will prevent anyone from sandbagging, and will level the playing field more. If I would have known that we were going to have around 30 participants I would have spent the $$$ this time but hopefully people can still have fun.

If you have other suggestions for future leagues, please feel free to provide constructive criticism that we can take a look at and possibly implement in the future.

I don't know about the rest of you , but I'min it for the duration even though it would nice to whip everybody's butt .
It don't matter to me if I win or not , I know I'll improve as I continue for the next four weeks so ya' all better look out cause I'm coming at ya. :)

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Dang, I just didn't want to end up dead last, now I'm in a race for last place! Oh well, who'd have thunk that my first ever 5 spot scratch score would have been one of my best... Kinda reverse sandbagged myself there [:@]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

One bad week, otherwise I would be duking it out with Mobow right now.

Geez!! [:@]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

No critiscm meant..I applaud you for your efforts. I was just stating a fact!

Next time you either need Classes or an adjusted handicap to keep everyone interested.

Otherwise more people may "lay down" in qualifying!

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Mobow's got nothing! I've got my sights set on Justin this week. He's goin' down!

Hey Bols, you could hope that everyone suddenly gets hit with an appoplectic fit of hysterical blindness or something... then you'd have a chance.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.....I gotta shoot 5 more rounds ya know......;)

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Whaddaya mean, mobow's got nothing???? I got game damnit!! :D:D

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

big problem i am not in the spreadsheet[:o]

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........I'll get on it..

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

alright

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Here ya go dude.....I'm not sure what happened, I'll contact Rick and see...My apologies.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

i dont like that at all mo well at least this weeks score will bring me back up some

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Hey MoBow

You'd better watch out...I'm coming for ya boy...I'm coming.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Good God, I didn't even notice that....I'm so wrapped up in beating make up boy I didn't pay any attention.....I need a GOOD night tomorrow, that's for sure.....

Ummmmm......why do I have the bullseye again?????

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Some people are destined for greatness... then there's all the rest.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

And if you wear a bullzeye, you are destined for that greatness, yes? :D

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

First time in a while....lol.....but I agree with GR8.

When you have scores of 342,335,331........how does one compete against that? This is the equivalent of a 30hcp golfer shooting even par. It isn't possible.

I'm going to follow my gross scores and try to keep from getting trampled to the bottom....lol:). I've had a good time learning about this.....and it's helping my 3D. it's helping! I'll give it, that.

GR8 NOR me is whining. We're simply stating that it would be MORE interesting if you thought you were competing.....in lieu of just turning in a score, every week.

I'm also aware that some of you guys do this a LOT....and that you're DARNED GOOD AT IT. Thats apparent, also. Kudos!

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

So you're like me, amongst all of the "rest"?

[8D];)

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Now that was just uncalled for!! That hurts my feelings!! I do feel a little better knowing oneshot complained and now I am not in last place!!

90 bucks for software isn't that bad. All members of the league could pitch in a few bucks to help out...I would be more than willing to help out.

I am not sure how my score will be in the next few weeks. This week is another cold one and not due to warm up until next week. When it starts warming up, I want to start retuning and adjusting my bow. Hopefully by the time we are done, my score will be atleast heading in the opposite direction it is now.

I am not quiting!!

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Just for fun I knocked out this spreadsheet w/o handicaps.





Edit: The original left off mbhutton. What are the week 1 averages used for mbhutton and TM1376?

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

I like that one! ;)

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

I gotta say .... I like the looks of that one for some reason :)at least I'm in the top ten. ;)

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Yeah RD, we're duking it out pretty hard for 5th. After week 4 we're tied for 'x' and I've only got you by 1 point!!!

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Heck ... If they use this sheet instead of the other one , you and I will be ahead of the top two in no time :D

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

I didn't seem to move at all but I think I like to see where I am at with OUT the handicap. If we can keep both up here that would be great. I am only in this to get myself to shoot more. And by more I don't mean what I used to do (and still do sometimes) just going and letting some arrows fly. I find I am enjoying the whole archery thing more when I am TRYING to become better. Hard to explain but I hope it makes some sense.
Well I probably won't have my new bow set up for this league but I hope to by the time another is started. Gonna be sweet.:D

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

It's easy to keep up to date since it doesn't have any of the formulas associated with the handicaps. I'll keep it up as long as there are no objections from mobow and Rick James.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

Thanks. I did not get in this to see who I could beat. I am having a great time and I think being able to see how everyone has improved is part of it.

RE: Week 3 Update........
 

WHat was the first weeks average for my score???
