RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I shot at Hard Nok's in Bloomville Ohio. I don't know the guys name but the guys I shot with told me he finished 2nd at the World's. However, I looked on the IBO website and the guy who got 2nd in HC last year was not from Ohio. Maybe I was given some bad info, LOL. He was shooting behind me and did seem like a good shooter, he had 2 5's in the 2nd half and still shot 290.

You aren't throwing out crap........take your beating and like it.;)

I actually didn't get to shoot this weekend because of work, but did 2 shoots last week.
Shot in a 3 man team money shoot at Little Buffalo Archers, we finished 7th out of 20 teams in "Class One" but only 4 pts out of 2nd place. (we screwed up one target)
It was a 28 target format indoors ASA scoring with those low offset 12's and 14's, and score the 2 highest arrows per target........and we finished 56pts. up for 28 targets.
We shot the big boy class, with the Pros and semi pros and the Open A and Open B shooters and I was the only clown there shooting pins. :) We shot well though. One target cost us about $400.:(

My Sunday league was a 298/20X for a 318/330 IBO.
(You buckeyes might want to bring 2 "A" shooters in case one of you gets something caught in your throat about 1/2 way through the course.;))

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Matt congrats on the great shooting but I have a question.

If you are shooting that well and feel you can hang with the open, semi pro and pro shooters why in the world are you shooting HC?

Why would you shoot a class obviously under your abilities?

Oh and don't worry about me getting anything in my throat.... I fully expect Troy to take over as the "A" shooter by then anyhow:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

My A game will be ready by June. My Zen Archery practice is paying big dividends. Can't wait to bust some pumpkin nocks. But don't expect me to shoot 5s and 8s just to do it. And I fully expect my nocks to be safe from all but my brother Buckeyes, IN THE 11. :D:D
BTW, good shooting Matt. If I didn't like ya, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to say so. Being that you're a pumpkin and all. [:-][&:]

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Let me correct myself and say I expect Troy or Phil to be the "A" shooters!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Buckeye,
It's all in the yardages........I don't have the time to practice at 40 and beyond. I might shoot like an above average open class guy, but I GUARANTEE you that I can't judge yardage 1/2 as good as the average Open class shooter beyond 40 yards.
That money shoot I was in, everyone shot from the same stations and the max was 37 yards. (12 targets over 30 indoors) You really have to be precise with pins against good scope shooters at that range.[:-]
I've never been to a "big" shoot either, and honestly this is the first year I have really been able to shoot 3D a little bit seriously beyond hunting practice. Last year I made exactly 1 shoot.........1.:(
So we'll see how it goes at the Triple Crown, and Worlds....and that ASA in HC. Trust me from what I hear, HC is no walk in the park and their are some damn good shooters.

I will shoot HC in the bigger shoots, maybe dabble in some MBR here and there, and then think about a higher class if I have some success.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

buckeyebuckhntr,

See pic below for the real reason Matt shoots HC instead of MBR or MBO. ;):D

j/k ya bro... I just hope I get to shoot in the smackdown (it's a shame I have to just use my hunting rig though) :D


I'll be sure to bring the music that weekend... Smashing Pumpkins should be good? [8D]:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

LOL:D That sounds perfect!


A little something for Matt:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

HAHAHA........:eek:

When this is all over you guys will be back at the Bowtech trailer serving me a nice big slice of pumpkin pie in the shape of the state of PA.....with whipped cream of course.

Hey, and if anyone is sandbagging it's Phil! He's been to these big shoots before.;) He's a ringer.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

You guys are funny with the sandbags....

With the talk of classes my thoughts are to do this whole year in HC although I may continue to shoot some local shoots in MBR just to get a taste of the longer yardages. Next year I doubt I will shoot HC, will probably go back to Open since hardly anyone shoots MBR anymore. And 50 yard max separates the men from the boys, and evidently Matt is not one of the men from his post above:) Just kidding, my yardage estimation over about 35 yards sucks axx and over 40 yards you have to be within 2 or 3 yards to get a 10 and within 1 yard to get an 11. Sucks when guys beat you just because they can judge yardage better when you were tearing them up on the practice bails.
