The 3D challenge
#1
I would like to challenge everyone who has never shot a 3D course before to give it a shot this year. I guarantee you will have a blast. Theres not much better than shooting the bows and hanging out with your buds / familyon a cool summer morning.
Just be careful.... It can be very addicting [8D]

I agree. It's A LOT of fun.....Too bad Dan won't be able to find out......

I'll be going to my first of the year the 14th....I can't wait....I'll shoot a few others as I can find them, they are pretty scarce around here anymore, then it's off the world qualifier in June.....HOPEFULLY after that, it'll be ibo worlds in Indiana early August...

Yea ... shooting at 3D targets is a blast , I enjoy shooting my bow so much that I was shooting in a five spot league , now a vegas league , I even signed up to shoot a 3D league for 12 weeks.
I think shooting 3D targets is a fun way to practice and to sharpen your shooting skills , helps keep you in top form.
By the time achery deer season comes , you'll be a more confident shooter and you'll be able to judge range alot more easyer.
I'm with the buckeyebuckhntr on this 3D challenage , for those who never shot a 3D range or course , you need to try it.
For those who are planing on being in the June 3D smackdown at the HNI get together , you better get to those 3D range's and practice if you think you have a chance at beating me.

Yep it can be fun for sure.......especially at first but if you have a competitive streak like I do, 3D archery can be a slippery slope. LOL
I am actually trying to back away from serious competition because it really is a lot of precision work, and have started shooting 3D with a longbow and soon to be custom recurve.Suddenly 3D and shooting in general has become much more fun for me.
Don't get me wrong I still enjoy some serious high end competition but that side of it for me has become a bit like work and it can become just sooooooo mechanical.
16 full rounds already this season with the compound, and lots of success but my favorite round of the year was a 30 target courseI shot last weekwith my buddy Frank and my longbow.
It's a nice mental break to shoot at both ends of the archery world. I havesome accomplishments shooting compounds, and I think I'm going to try and challenge myself to do the same with traditional gear in the near future.

shot a 20 target asa rules shoot sat, and a 30 target club shoot on sunday. jamie's now shooting with me and that's great. she's getting good fast.i absolutely love it. its so fun to be in the woods w/ others that love shooting. there are so many good shooters, so much to learn, and so many helpful folks.
