RE: traditional 3-D shoots
3 Rivers used to list a lot of shoots in the catalog, but I don't see any in the latest one? Trad archery boards like this usually give a heads-up about upcoming shoots. I don't know about the ones in your part of the country, but I'll try to announce the ones I know of and/or plan to attend. The first one I can think of is Kalamazoo indoor expo. in MI, I think in Feb? Then it's the Kentucky Klassic in Nancy, KY in April (also not a tourny, but has 2 good courses to shoot), the TN classic at the Twin Oaks club near Clarkesville, TN in May, Cloverdale near Greencastle, IN in June, and the AL State Championship in McCalla, AL at Tannehill State Park in August. There are several more I can't think of off hand.......the TX State Longbow Championship near Mary's Creek (just outside Ft. Worth) Memorial Day weekend is one, The Real Thing in LA somewhere between May and June (I think), the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational in MI (don't remember when it is), Denton Hill in PA--in July, I think, the GA State Championship near Meansville, GA.............there are lots if you are willing to travel.
