Scoring was 5-2-0, horns and hoofs were a no score. I generally shoot about 80% at most tournaments, only shot about 65.5% at TX, but honestly don't know if I could have held my own if I hadn't had a sore hoof. Some dang tough competition there, and some intimidating shots--no telling how many arrows we saw floating in the creek, busted, etc. There were several shots where the backstop was the creek, one bionic armidillo shot (shape of a life-size armidillo cut out in plate steel), and a few where rocks made up most of the backstop. I lost a point, broke an arrow, and lost an arrow on the first day, plus broke another on the bionic deer they had on the practice range (should have stopped shooting at it--duhhhh....). Didn't loose or break any on the second day, in spite of several misses. Shots were very much varied--from 15-40 or so yds. Some were in an open field, some across the creek, one was a STEEP upward angle, downward angles, a few in trees on the edge of the creek, etc. It was the most variation of shots I've ever seen on a course, in angle, distance, targets, etc. Target sizes ranged from a praire dog (itty bitty) to a buffalo. Several smaller targets--a wolverine, couple of foxes, a Rhinehart frog (pretty dang big for a frog though), raccoon, bobcat, etc. Extremely challenging shoot--both in accuracy and endurance (50 targets per day, mighty long walk around the course). If you aren't a crack shot, you better have plenty of arrows. Think that even Keith Bain came in 4th this year. Some of the targets are misleading--better be up on your game on identifying different ones. I buggered up on a few that I misjudged the size of--there was one ram of some sort that wasn't nearly as big as I thought (shot over it the first time), and they had two itty-bitty whitetail doe targets that I'd never seen before--lots smaller than McKenzies--looked to be a lot further away than they really were.

Anyhow, I loved it! It was run very smoothly, two card scoring to keep everyone honest, shoot with your competition the second day, shotgun start both days. Not quite a Twin Oaks type shoot, but a very good one and one I plan on going back to.
