Shot my first 3D this year...
 

Well I shot my first 3D shoot after nearly a year's layoff.

It went pretty well, didn't shoot lights out but was close.

The course was 40 yards max with most shots in the 25-35 yard range with 3 or 4 around the 40 yard mark. I shot 315/330.

I was rusty with picking out the 11 rings... Once I am back on my game I should be doing fairly well. Looking forward to my shoot on Sunday Up in Cleveland.

I went to one this morning out by where I live and shot against two other guys , one was using a recurve and the other guy is a pro I.B.O. shooter.
Gotta tell you guys I was out matched in this round although I shoot pretty good , I couldn't hold a candle to the I.B.O. man even the recurve guy out shot me.
The last time I shot that range with a friend of mine I did a 286 out of 300 , today I did a lousy 234 the recurve guy had a 279 and the pro had a purfect score , can you figure.

Well how did you do in Cleveland? Did I miss anything out there? I hear the lighting was awful............

A dismal 402 14X...... I was all around the X's all day, I just couldn't catch a break. I only had4 X's on the first 20 targets [:o] I had 2 deflectionsoff my buddies arrow onthe 5 yard beaver and a 25 yard gobbling turkey knocking me into the 8 on both. I also dropped 3 easy 8's on two deer and a standing bear. I can't recall what I hit the other 8 on.

The lighting and shoot was not that bad people just like to complain.... It's the same thing out of everyone every year. I say if they don't like it, don't shoot it :eek:In fact my pins were way to bright for the shoot with my hunting sight thatI was forced to use because of a certain manufactures delays. My pins were all "haloing" real bad. I ended up finding a piece of tape around the 22nd target and covering the fiber wrap up, that took care of the halo effect for the most part.

I would say yes, you did miss out... I have a blast there every year [8D]
