who needs speed for 3-d
:DI went to a local shoot that was a Toys For Tots benefit shoot.All classes shot from the same stake so it was basically set up for hunters.Fairly common bowhunter distances but for the mbr and open,it would be considered really close.
I was using my hunting setup at 53#'s and shooting a whopping 236 fps[:o].I only had 2, 8's all day long and 1 of them was a freaking 10 yard pig I pushed out the top with a bad release.[:@] Well,I got into a good rythum about half way through and started stroking 11's.There was probably only 20 visible 11'sthat could be counted and I ended up with (9)11's.:)(Would have had more if they would have been in the targets.:eek:) Ended with a 305 and was quite content.[:-] Point is,you still have to judge yardage,even if you are shooting a fast bow to win at 3-d.Not saying a little speed doesn't help,but don't count on it,learn to judge.;) |

Gospel.
I'm not setting a 3D bow up to shoot 240fps though. :D You need every advantage you can get.;) |

ORIGINAL: Matt/TN Gospel. I'm not setting a 3D bow up to shoot 240fps though. :D You need every advantage you can get.;) Those that set their bow up with room for error at 280 -283 and actually work at judging yardage,and executing shots,are the ones winning.That 4 fps is USELESS. I did shoot an ASA shoot at 260 fps once in open B.I didn't win or even place but I did bring home $200 from the pro am.[8D] I had to shoot twice at 3 or 4 targets and shot (2) 12's each time.:DOf course we were discussing yardage.[:-] I figured out for my setup that 20 fps FROM SAME BOW,equated to just 1/2" difference in poi at 40 yards on a 3 yard missjudged target.That 1/2" might be the difference in an 8 or 5 but chances are,if you are misjudging by 3 yards,you aren't winning.;) |
RE: who needs speed for 3-d
Agreed.

RE: who needs speed for 3-d
Then you would probably agree that if I misjudged a 40 yard target by 3 yards with the 236 fps it would get ugly at 40 yards.:D

RE: who needs speed for 3-d
Yeah, hopefully it was on the hot side...lol
Shooting hunter class though, I'd say she was a bit low ;):D |
RE: who needs speed for 3-d
Nice shooting but I don't see many ASA shoots up here in Michigan, I'm more comfortable around the 300 fps mark. No real reason, except that I think my sight tapes are already printed out for that speed. :)

I'm going to a 'hunters'3D shoot this weekend. I'm shooting a smoking 204 fps.
I'm gunning for, oh... 150 points. ;) |

I went to another club and it was a little tougher and my yardage started out HORRIBLE.They started me out withthat little freaking Rinehart bear which I misjudged by 3 yards and shot a 5.Then a goat I misjudged by 5 or 6 and got another 5.[:'(]Already 10 down on 2 targets.[:o],then I got rolling and got dialed in,shot a few 11's. Then off to the 2nd half,wasn't shooting great but catching 10's.Fatique was setting in from spending all day before at the Ky state fair watching my daughter dance.Then about half way through,they had a freaking Delta Turkey with a rear shot that was DRAWN IN with a marker.[&:]The 8 ring was about the size of a normal 10.This target fooled me.I was thinking 30 yards and it was about 27,well,that is a 5 that should have been an 8. I shot a 283 with (3) 5's so yardage killed me,not speed(along with some fatigue).The BEST I could have hoped for shooting at 280 fps was catching an 8 on those 3 targets and that would put me 9 points better.That would be a 292.That looks better and sounds better but still ain't gonna get it done.;) |
RE: who needs speed for 3-d
Good shooting bud!!
 When i did black hawk it was late in the day and most were done shooting. There were only two left in the field when i left and i was pulling a strong third at the time just barely being edged out of second. not sure how it ended up.ORIGINAL: TFOX ORIGINAL: bloodcrick Todd i was going to call you before last Sunday to see if you wanted to go to blackhawks last shoot of the season but i had things come up [:@]I did make the one before that. nice club!! as you told me before.
