I had never even shot at a 3D target until 2 years ago, then I went to every shoot I could in 2006 (about 15) and then in 2007 I went to a bunch (12 or so). I won 3 in 2007 in the Bowhunter class. This year, probably not going to shoot as many for the same reasons you mentioned Jeff. I have NO plans of getting a bow with lens, giant stab, or anythign like that, so in the Hunter class, I've kind of peaked, which is perfectly fine. I use it more for a yardage practice than anything else.
