RE: LBR
Nahhhhhh.......I was happy with my score--shot better than 80%--but it wasn't near good enough to get a trophy in the men's longbow class. I shot a 160-something, Bill Leslie won it with a 205--and a 200 was a perfect score! We had 2 shots where you could take the harder shot for extra points, and one optional shot. The optional shot was the steel fox--you either hit the kill or got nothing (well, nothing but a broken arrow). I think I hit the same dent I put in it last year--about 1/2" low. I did hit the other two bonus shots, but had too many 1's (scoreing was 5, 1, 0).
Had a great time--the Twin Oaks club puts on the best of the best--the terrain, the people putting it on, the people attending, the activities, the tournament itself--all first rate. Shoot rate is reasonable, t-shirt costs are reasonable, novelty shoot prices are reasonable, free supper on Sat night (you will hurt yourself--all home cooking), nobody asking you to donate for anything or acting like they aren't happy to be there, lots of very nice prizes, unique and beautiful trophies........I've never seen anything like it. Everything is very organized and runs like clockwork. I can't say enough good things about it--you just have to experience it for yourself. In a nutshell, if I could only attend one tournament a year, this would be it. Had one guy come down just long enough to shoot and leave, and he thanked me at least three times for telling him about it! lol He was only there long enough to get a small taste, and he will be back.
If at all possible, you owe it to yourself to come to this one at least once--it don't get no better.
