Today for the indoor we've been shooting we have a new member of HNI hooked. M/Hensler PA shot his very first 3D ever. Yeah, he's hooked.

I sucked terribly today. I couldn't figure it out, for the first time, I was dropping low. I never drop low, it's usually high left..LOL

Nate, unbelievable. He shot one 5, one 8, 30 tens for a 313. He also shot 15 twelves for a 343. Ben finished 2nd, yeah he beat me as I shot my worst score yet which I'm having trouble with after grouping so well yesterday. It wasn't the bow, it was the shooter. I finished 3rd, then Matt and Brian (BPBowhunter). I was a little frusterated at first but then said screw it, have fun and I did. I'm glad I did.

Here's Brian bearing down.



And then here's Ben bearing down with Matt, Brian and Nate hiding behind:



A couple targets:



26 yard turkey:



This was the hardest the course was thus far.

Most of the small targets were beyond 20 yards back in the nooks and crannies. Target one and target two were the spinning turkey and spinning raccoon. Yeah, welcome to 3D Matt we said...LOL His first two real targets on his first 3D course and they spun...LOL

WOW Im sorry I missed it! Gosh the way Im shooting I would of need 2 dozen arrows to get threw all those small targets!Good shooting guys...Glad to see another is hooked! If not for such a drive I would be there every week! One more thing I waited for this post all day to see how it went!

Yeah, notice target 3, it's the little brown bear behind the skunk that's 31....and it was angled.

Holy crap![:-] Looking forward to the 27th! Cant wait to shoot!

SO who won?

I know you guys had fun. We had a blast outdoors. I wish I could join you guys for this one day. Maybe next year.

Just like a Playboy you just look at the pictures. I said in order in the thread, Nate, Ben, Rob, Matt, Brian. [8D]

Well Damn.....you said he shot 343 but you didn't say he won!

(I should've read into that, though)

Had a blast today guys. Certainly glad I decided to go. GREAT group of guys. (Again Ben thanks for the re-fletching). I'm going to be back for sure.

Things I learned:

Just when you think you can shoot pretty decent, surround yourself with these guys, and you certainly think differently

Spinng targets suck

With one look, Nate and Rob corrected my anchor issue that I struggled with for almost a week, lol.

Rob should become a salesman

Ben may or may not be suffering right now due to the spicey baconater

Four guys in a truck...five pairs of binoculars...nobody can figure out how to get a closer view of a flock of turkeys in a field

Peanut butter eggs are better when they're won

Thanks for the good times guys.

Awesome time shooting today fellas. Matt, welcome!!! Hope you can join us again. Tough course to start on but you hung in there tough. As you heard in the truck on the way home...My first time was like a 234 or something...I forget your actual score but I know it was well North of that and on a much harder course.The last two weeks have been fun as we have been playing roulet with the arrows androtating who shoots first in the groups of four or five. Lots ofews and ahs on the 4th and fifth arrows as we hear the vanes smack alot of the time as the picks show. Even if it costs a vane hereor anarrow there,if that is the case then it is just good shooting and fun. PS Matt, your two and my one arrow now has new blazers on them already. Good as new. Thanks for a fun day guys.

Another awesome day was had by all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt, welcome to the club it's an addiction.

Like Rob stated Nate was on fire, as I was the official scorer of the day he made my job really easy. [8D]

Take care,

Brian
