Try, The National Triple Crown. (Bedford, Indiana;McKean, Pennsylvainia; and Nelsonville, Ohio) Then you will want to try the IBO World Championships. This year it is at Snowshoe, WV. It is hard to tell where it will be next year. Hopefully West Virginia!!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The top level 3-D shooters are on a par with any shooters in the world.
Last year Jeff Hopkins, Connie Calloway and Mike Pelligrino won the Vegas Shoot.(indoor target)All 3 primarily known for their 3-D skills.
The above 4 shoots would be a good group to attend. Lots of shooters and you can find a true test of your skills. I would bet that you would really enjoy the shoots too.

Hey Ken,
You mentioned "the top 4" which included the worlds. How can someone overseas qualify for the worlds without flying twice to the states OR spending over 30 days vacation? Most qualifiers are over in July and it's usually 3-4 weeks until the worlds? I ask this question because I was stationed in England for 4 years. Only when I took a months leave (timed correctly) could I shoot a qualifier and hang around enough for the worlds? Thank you......
