I've probably shot in over 300 3-D shoots. I've been doing it since I was 3 years old. We don't have a local Archery Club around where I live anymore, we use to put on 4 shoots a year. Our club was called Crow River Archers. We were very well known in the 5 state area as having one of the better 3-D shoots in the Upper Midwest for allot of years. We would have 1 spring shoot, 2 summer shoots, and 1 winter shoot. I've only done it competitively 4 times at a regional level. In 1987 as a Youth at a Traditional shoot I won 1st place in regions at the Youth recurve level but never went on to state being I was just there for the fun of it anyway. Another time at the same Traditional shoot but a year earlier (1986) I took 4th place as a Youth in the recurve level at the regional level. The other 2 competitive 3-D shoots were also Traditional but as a adult, one was 2006, placed 40th out of 300 recurve shooters. The other was this last year in 2007 and I placed 45th out of 350 recurve shooters. We don't go for the competitiveness or to win these Traditional shoots, we go to have fun and its the only Traditional shoot in the area that I know of. Its a damn good one too if anyone is interested in going this coming year. Its in the 1st or 2nd week of June located in Coon Rapids Minnesota. Its an all Traditional shoot only. Its A very well known 3-D shoot.
