I really wanted to stop while I wasgoing across the mountainon my way to Jeff's house to take a picture. I was commingacross right as the sun was starting to set.It was honestly, the single mostbeautiful view I've ever seen.

Where are the monkey bars and swingsets? Glad you guys had fun! Congrats to you as well Jeff for your first outdoor win!

I have to admit.

Jeff's hunting spots, aren't what people think. Some are pretty close to houses but I doubt it's any different than alot of people's honey holes, including mine.

Sounds like Jeff is on his way to some more impressive wins. Nice shooting, everyone.

Good photo on that last one. A hair left of the 10 ring on that animal and you've center-punched a sappling:D
I wish I could have gotten a picture of the target me and Aaron seemingly went AROUND a tree trunk lol.

Dang Jeff. Not bad.


I knew you were on your way to a good round when you started pounding a bunch of 12's.

Matt/TN 01-27-2008 08:03 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
I just looked at it as well and it looks as if I would have cleaned house if I would have shot young adult :D.

why is there a # 3 beside my score??

Jeff did you see 1st open trophy? thats the guy i talked to in the pickup...he' good

Matt/TN 01-27-2008 08:10 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend

I was just being nosy and noticed that there was 60 people at that shoot today!!! Thats a hell of a turnout for the weather you guys described!!

good shootin to yall!!

GMMAT 01-27-2008 08:12 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Aaron you tied for 7th and got 8th due to the guy in front of you getting more 12's.

As a side note....the guy who finished 11th is a local guy, here, who's won SEVERAL indoor tournaments at my club. Outdoors.....no known yardages.....uphill/downhill......it all takes its toll on your scorecard;)

Isn't that the truth. I plan on doing a lot better next time. I shot ALOT better last time...


That miss on the turkey still kills me. I don't know what happened for me to miss the thing that bad? Stuff happens. I could have been in the 280's if I would have made a good shot there.


With practice, I'll get there.

We also shot it during colder weather than they did too. We started 3 hours earlier than most.

How do you get an X with a shot like that?

Rob/PA Bowyer 01-27-2008 08:20 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 







This is a big NO NO at a sanctioned shoot. Vitals/scoring is never to be blocked like that.

Good shooting Jeff.

You hold REAL steady on the edge of that sappling:D

Or...you just take your medicine and hope to make it up, later;)

I was standing a little left of the stake too. It was a close shot though.

GMMAT 01-27-2008 08:25 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Rob:

It wasn't blocked;)

NOTHING between you and the 10 ring. Nothing.

Now....shoot a "little" left......and that's another story.;)

We had some worse than this.....but none blocking the vitals. We had a bear on No. 27 or 28 in the afternoon that was worse for Aaron and I as RH'ers. I have NO IDEA how Aaron's arrow got where it did without drawing wood.;)

I believe he has those arrows, that are capable of going around trees.


Jeff, how many points do you think we would have left out there if we were shooting skinny shafts?

GMMAT 01-27-2008 08:33 PM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Matt .....I'm guessing6-8 as a pure guess.....per round.

Maybe,maybe not,you might have been inside the line with a skinny shaft instead of just touching the line.Wind plays a role in this game as well,especially at distances of 35 yards or more.;)

Hey guys I was there too. I was looking for you guys but I started around 11:30am. BTW - I'm the guy who got 7th in Hunter (Shootin Skinny Shafts). That was a really nice place to shoot. I havn't shot a 3D since 1994 so it was fun. It was the first time for my girlfriend (lknhuntress)and son to shoot a 3D and they really had a lot of fun.

GMMAT 01-28-2008 07:34 AM

That's great, LKN.

I loved the course. We'll have to meet at one of these in the future.

LKNCHOPPERS 01-28-2008 07:54 AM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Congrats on your fine shooting. I liked the course and the scoring system (Only Center 12s Counted). Did the other shoot score that way as well?

GMMAT 01-28-2008 08:07 AM

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Yep.

Only exception was some low 12's on a few targets in VA. Otherwise.....all center 12's (we heard of these regions.....although we found them VERY seldomly;))

Most all of the places around here use 12's. Especially when using Rineharts.

Looks like an awesome time. I think I would really have fun at one of these (get a bit frustrated I'm sure as well, not sure about my yardage estimation skills). Now I need some strings...

I might have missed it, but how was the shooter turnout for this event?

buckmaster 01-28-2008 06:14 PM

I dont know about you guys but after 60+ shots at 65lbs, and delivering the mail today....My shoulder is killing me!![&:]

I'm not sore at all today. I'd say I shot 100 shots today, after tweaking my bow a little, I noticed yesterday my strings and cables had stretched some. My cam wasn't orientated correctly and my DL was a tick off. I got everything back to where it needs to be and it's now at 63lbs, which I like :)

RE: TN/VA/NC 3D weekend
 
Buckmaster, I saw that we tied on the scores. I saw you guys talking earlier in the thread about how I bumped you. I thought it was funny that it turned out to be me. Well, good luck in the upcoming events, maybe I will see you guys at one. Maybe you will bump me next time, it's all in fun.

Ok Buckeye, Looks WAYfun, find us one and let the learning begin. Just tell me what yardages I need to set up too.

We will get together one evening this week and shoot some spots? We can go over all the intricacies then as well. It really is a lot of fun..... Unless you take it to seriously....
