3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics) & 4th week.
 

Well I took a couple pics so you guys get the gist of our local Gander's 3D indoor league. They shot paper then they set up the 3D targets.

30 yard indoor, 5 targets. The deer is target one, center 12, the bear is target #2, center 12, the coyote is target 3, low small ASA 12, the boar is target 4, low ASA 12 and the javelina center 12.





The first week I shot a 314 which put me in 3rd, 2 out of second and 16 out of first, the guy who I finished second to last year shot a 330.

The second week I shot a 332, 32 up so did the first place guy and my buddy Nate who was in second shot a 340. So I was still 16 out of first and now 10 out of second. Tonight I shot a 334, gained two on the first place guy but my buddy Nate shot a 342 which put him up 4 in first, I'm now 14 out of 2nd and up two on the 4th place guy whose magic pencil scored him very well. I was watching his arrows, somehow his score doesn't reflect what I saw. I was previously up 6 on him.

Looks like fun, is this their only "league" or do they have shoots throughout the year?

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Not sure Matt, this is my first year. Good time though.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Looks like fun guys, I'm really jealous. I've got 3 weeks till our first local 3D, and I'm chomping at the bit to get outside. All I can do at this time is shoot 10 yards in my basement and wait for the DL mods to get here.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Hey Rob....

Looks likea 28 and 29 yd shoot out. Don't get me wrong.....I'm jealous.....butit sure looks like they'd mix up the yardages a little. I'm betting thescores might not "necessarily" go UP;). Move those low ASA targets to about 20 yds and dare shooters to hit the 12 and you might get more 8's.;)

So you shoot 3 arrows at each target.....and go through the course, twice?

Like I said.....I wish I had it, here. Looks ike fun.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

It is pretty much a 28-30 yard shootout. They don't need to move the targets up to tempt us on the low 12 rings, I shoot for them deliberately anyway, at least with the second and third arrow of the first one is a good marker.;)

Looks like alot of fun but out of my league! [8D]Good job shooting Rob and Nate!

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Jeff, when you come shoot at Miller's with me next weekend. It's a 30yd range, and there isn't any of this silly center 12 stuff. ;). All of our targets are Rinehardt low ASA 12's. It's a blast Jeff, we have some small fun targets....like a Poison Frog, Mosquito, Wolverine, and everyone's favorite....A strutting turkey ;). There will be 10 targets, and you'll shoot them twice. The winning score will probably be in the 18-28up range. Occasionally there will be a break out round from 30-44up on 20 targets. 14's are definately in play and get pounded. The winner in bowhunter will usually range 10-22up.


It'll be fun Jeff....I can't wait.

4th Week:

Just shot the 4th weeks Gander 3D.

I shot a 332. I shot 10 of the first 15 12's and couldn't get the 12's (6) the second round. I dropped no 8's this night.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Way to go Rob! Amazing what ONE day difference there can be...great shooting. How did Ben and Nate make out?

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Hey Rob....Are 14's in play?

If you guys are aiming and hitting the 12's.....why wouldn't you go for the 14's (if they're in play)?

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Great shooting Rob!

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Well, after shooting fairly well yesterday in Catawissa and starting out with a broken nock and then this guy, I had high hopes for tonights round. After the first 15 shots I was on my way to my new personal best. But sadly, I had a mental breakdown with a miss and a 5 in the second round. Still, it was a good time. Just got to get tougher up top.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

ya rob i put the arrow back in for effect:D

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Nice shot Ben! It's coming together for you well.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

No sir, no 14's in play. In fact, only one target has a 14.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Ben it was a great shot, I understand.;)[8D]

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Week 5 is over with one week to go. I'm now 10 up into 3rd place and closing on 2nd although for second I'll need a great week and unfortunately my friend Nate will have to have another bad week. I beat him by 10 this past Monday night.

I shot a 330.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Outstanding shooting, Rob.

I got SCHOOLED at Matt/TN's place last weekend by a BUNCH of good shooters. I mean a BUNCH of good shooters.;)

14's were in play and these guys weren't shy about trying for them. They even had a 16 ring in play on 3 targets that was smaller in dia. than one of my fat shafts. I saw one kid aim for and hit it. It was 16 or a 5......nothing in between.

I'll say the lighting was not what I;m used to (and they were)....but I still got SCHOOLED!:D

There are a LOT of really good shooters where young Matt shoots. Kudos to the whole lot of 'em.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Jeff, it definately was a good time. No doubt, there are some great shooters in this area. I wish a couple of the awesome open guys wpuld have came. There were a few regulars missing.

I ended up better score wise than what I thought I was. I ended up with 209 I believe with that 5. Which was good enough for 3rd.

Jeff, you have a G5 hat you won, if you want me to bring it in April?

Can't wait to shoot outdoors with you again, I'm more fired up about that, than the indoor stuff right now.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Matt....thanks....and if you want the hat...you keep it. If not....give it to the first "cool" kid that walks in the shop.;):D

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

LOL! Ok. If it was up to me I would consider burning it...lol.:D[8D]

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

It is a mortal sin to burn a G5 hat. Shame on you;)

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

lol not quiet. [8D]

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Rob, who's in 1st place at this thing? Where's he from?

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

Jeff, I don't believe I've even ever seen a 16 ring. One of these days in Catawissa we're going to play 14's just to see.

Matt H, Barry Sones is leading right now. He owns Sone Archery. He's a great shooter. He won it last year with me in 2nd although I beat him 3 of 6 weeks, tied one week but the two he beat me, he was unstoppable.

This year, He was up after week one and then Nate caught him and was up on him, Barry regained the lead with Nate in 2nd. I believe it's going to finish week 6 with him in first, Nate or I in second and then the other in 3rd. I'm not sure how many Nate is up on me currently. I'm thinking a bunch.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

They were custom 16 rings. We took a piece of copper tubing, heated it up real hot and burned them into the mids. Then colored them in with silver sharpie. They are about the same diameter as the Fatboys I shoot.

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

interesting idea matt. i like it. how do you like the fatboys?

RE: 3rd week Gander Indoor 3D, (Pics)
 

I like them alot. I was back and forth between them and the Victory XRingers, and the Fatboys blow them out of the water as far as durability goes. So I sold the Victorys.
