RE: The 3D challenge
 

I've shot in 5, all local club shoots. In 2, last year, I didn't place. Finished 2, 1, 2 in the three, this year. If they would hold more shoots.....I'd shoot more.:)

To keep from getting TOO competitive, I promised myself I wouldn't do anything to my bow that changed it from my pure hunting rig. I haven't.

There's a big one I want to go to......but it's on the weekend I'm hosting a friend to turkey hunt. I've got my priorities straight!

RE: The 3D challenge
 

THe shop I go to also does 3D shoots and I had never done it before last year and it is awesome. I can't wait this season to start, which is this weekend! It has made me a much better shot and judger of distance as well.

RE: The 3D challenge
 

How about if we take the hot chick to the shoot and depending on how well she does there... enjoy the coronas later. I'm down for that.

And yes, try 3D. Thanks buckeye.

Gibblet......LOL If you think any of the guys in MBR are sandbagging![:-]
Seriously , it's not a Hunter class....She's a big boy class, long stakes / fixed pins but everything goes on arrows and stabilizers.

Trust me the Hunter class guys aren't shooting at 40yd turkeys, 44yd Alligators or a 48yd Blackbuck.
;)
My nerves can't take it anymore. LOL:D

(In all fairness to the Hunter Class guys, that's no cake walk either......to be successful you need to beat about 8 million guys at any shoot and do it with a rediculous X-count. Its a tough class to win in)

RE: The 3D challenge
 

I dunno Scott, I've tried shooting 3d before, and I just can't get into it. I'd rather spend 10 minutes in the yard shooting the bag and the rest of the afternoon in the woods. I just can't get into competitive archery for some reason.

There are two reasons that I really don't go for it: 1. - The "bow shop crowd" seems to linger at the 3d shoots, and the B.S. is a mile deep, and I personally know most of those guys haven't killed a deer in archery season since the dawn of time. Just not my scene. Then, these are the same guys who I swear dedicate their lives to figuring out where you're hunting and invading your hunting spots, so you wind up telling some huge lie about how you haven't seen any deer in the woods since the Reagan administration. 2. - I only get so much free time, and I dedicate all of it to time in the woods, in the fields glassing, or in the car spotting.

I guess I just like the "being in the woods" aspect of hunting a whole lot more than the "shooting" aspect. Weird I know.

Nelson Ledges, Mosquito Bowmen, Trumbull Rod and Gun andLake Milton are the local shoots we go to most........ If we could pry you away from the golf clubs sometime we could meet up for a shoot and finally introduce ourselves.

We shoot mostly sunday mornings, but Nelson Ledges is open on weekday evenings now as well.

RE: The 3D challenge
 

Everyone tells me I should shoot one. Too many other activities, too little time. And really the idea never appealed to me.

RE: The 3D challenge
 

haha nice! I'd prefer the hot chick, but I guess I'll have to stick with 3D for now. And yeah 3D is a blast.

RE: The 3D challenge
 

i'm only teasing you cause you're so good matt. we have a lot of guys here thatshould be shooting open A or pro - but their ego's won't let them go a year getting the 42-52 yard shots worked out from each other.i'm sure you know what i mean.

Ditto. Very addicting.
