Default RE: Think I finally have the desire to shoot again......

Thanks guys. Shot in our "Lost Arrow" league last night, it's not as fun as 3D but a great social event locally with a good 60-70 guys that show up every week. It's a 14 target round that shoots at the NFAA paper animal targets. One arrow at each that is worth 20 points for a kill, 16 for wound, 0 for a miss, and a 21 if you can hit the 2" orange dot (there are 7 dots on the 14 target course). You shoot from 11 yards out to 60 yards. I shot pretty good especially considering I hadn't shot much for so long. Ended up with high score for the night cleaning the course and only missing 1 of the dots, and most importantly I had a really good time and I'm looking forward to getting on the 3D course.

I'll be back at it in the basement tonight working to clean up a bit of my draw sequence and settling into anchor with some aiming drills and blank bale. I will probably be at the new club Friday night then to shoot out to some distance, and then will be attending a local 3D event at my old club on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to that one, I won each of their events for the last 3 years back to back in HC and this year will be my first time shooting in their open class. It will be good to hang out, harass, and shoot withsome of the regulars from the old club that I haven't seen since the winter indoor leagues. [8D]

For those of you that are getting burned out, find a way to make it fun. Don't make work out of it I guess is my advice. Find a buddy too........that helps a lot to bring the fun out of it.
