Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

The 1st annual battle of BowTech - The Bucks vs. The Country Pumpkins

Figured I would start it's own thread. We can talk smack or use this thread to figure it out.

I do hope some of us can meet up. For the guys who are interested, what class do you shoot in? I am trying to decide between HC and MBR. Buckeye and myself were leaning torward HC but then we realized there were enough sandbaggers in there already, LOL. So now I am leaning torward MBR. Isn't Hunters Class intended more for a guy who just wants to bring his hunting bow without setting up anything for 3D? I know there are some very serious shooters in HC at the nationals but I am picturing "average joe" at the local shoots with big old aluminum arrows and slapping his release trigger like an old girlfriend. And then there is me using ACC's and a back tension release. I do like the thought of only having to judge distance to 35 yards though......:D........

Couple questions:
Do these classes shoot completely separate ranges? Or just different stakes? Does anyone know what the average shot distance is for HC and MBR? Unless something has changed over the years I am thinking that most of the MBR shots would be more than the HC 35 yard max? Just trying to figure it all out so I know what vanes to put on my arrows. How would we crown an official "Border Battle" champion if some of us are shooting different classes?

Thanks for any input.

AHEM matt/pa:D

I am still up in the air whether to shoot MBR or HC. I will shoot HC for the indoor worlds then will decide what to do for the triple crown after hand.


For the smack down we might have to shoot it on the defense range if we are all not shooting the same class????

As for the Erie leg of the crown who will be there for sure?
Pat, Matt, Phil, Troy, Myself should all be there for sure

Bm, muzzy, hardwoods, Frank What about you guys??

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

How did I know that buckeyes big mouth would be the first one on this post :D

I should be able to meet up with all you guys! Heck, by that time my girlfriend will have her bow (BowTech Miranda), and by then, she will already be above your league buckeye. :D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Well seeing you guys dont know what class you are all gonna shoot then just go to the blue stakes and shoot from there with pins no scopes and hunting stabilizers.

Lets put some fun in this thing gee whats shooting over 35 yds gonna prove?

Seein ya'll good at the big talk lets see ya back it up from the blue stakes and we'll who the men are and who the boys really are[:-][8D]:);):D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

hell yea bring it on buckeyes!!!!!!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I love pumpkin pie. Isn't that what you get after smashing pumpkins? I'll bring the cool whip. Feet up, enjoying being served dinner by the LOSERS!!! :(

Troy, at the National Triple Crown you'll see lots of target gear in HC. It's just limited by rules.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I don't know if us "Pumpkins" (Where the he** did Pumpkin come from anyway?) will have enough team members?
You might have to pony up a Buckeye.:D

I will most definitely be shooting HC in Erie. I haven't shot any of the Triple Crown shoots yet and would not enjoy driving 5 hours to get my butt handed to me the first time out.

Been shooting pretty well lately.......shot my first 2 shoots now with the Old Glory this weekend. I dropped a 324 ASA score on the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show Indoor 3D shoot in Harrisburg on Saturday to take top slot for the day for all classes combined and qualify for the finals next Saturday (They only take the top score for each day in each class to advance)
And then today shot a 312 IBO in my Winter outdoor League. Only shot (4) 8's in the last 60 targets after just getting the bow on Wednesday, setting it up Thursday night and sighting it in the last hour before dark on Friday..........I'd say me and the Old Glory are getting along just fine.:)

Don't you worry fellow PA Pumpkins, turn em' back to your boy.;)

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Thanks for thinking of me but, no big shoots for me. If one of you knows of some local club putting together a shoot somewhere in between all of us then I will be glad to attend. I am not in the same class as the pumpkin from York above....;)

:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

What about Muzzy and Hardwoods? Where you guys at?

It was muzzys idea for the Buckeye pumpkin shoot off in the first place.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I guess so Matt, that sounds like some awesome shooting, nice job! I have only shot my new Allegiance a few times since I picked it up last week. I shot my first 5 spot round yesterday and finished with 300/44X with pins and a 12" stabilizer. I was averaging about 296/40X with my old bow and beat that easily on my first round with the Allegiance. No doubt these bows are some sweet shooters! We have a couple outdoor local 3D shoots coming up in Feb., and I want to shoot them if its in the 30's or higher temps.

I don't know where the "pumpkin" term came from, I copied it from the other thread.[&:]

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Count me in fellas. I have never shot any of the big shoots. Just some local ones at the clubs in my area. But I feel I can hang with the big boys.

Oh by the way Matt, you can thank Muzzyman for us being called pumpkins. Matt I'm gonna be at the Outdoors show in HBG on saturday. What time do you shoot? I'd like to get together with ya and swap Old Glory Stories. I got mine all setup and roughly dialed in. Having a little trouble with fletch contact with my trophy taker, but I think I got it fixed. I can only think of 2 words to describe my Old Glory. "Tack Driver"!!! it is an amazing bow. Drop me an email or a pm maybe we can get together at the show.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Sorry fellas, been hectic the last few days.

Count me in. Me and PAhardwoods can make it for a shoot with everyone. That would be a heck of a lot of fun.

Its on!!!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

We can use the BowTech Hilton as shoot headquarters. You can't miss it.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

But knock first. :D:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Sweet rig Phil

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Here Kitty Kitty. Nice Kitty.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Very nice Phil, my new buddy:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I shoot in the finals at 3:40 on Saturday against 6 other Pumpkins I guess? This is only the second time I have shot there.......should be a good time. Hopefully I have good showing.
I'll be in my "Shooter's Atire" :) Black long sleeve Bowtech shirt (Bowtech down the sleeve) carrying the Red foam slayer.
I'd say come and check it out but spectating is like watching grass grow.......only with people and bows standing on it.:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Give em Hell Matt. Hope you do good!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Good luck MATT! Show them pumpkins a thing or 2;)

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I'll stop by to see ya Matt, and good luck to you. I have to stop by the A-way booth to talk to them about arrowwrap i'm doing for them anyway. And there booth is always located near the 3D range. I'll make sure I say hi.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

By the way Matt, you can count me in as a "PIMPKIN.......I mean PUMPKIN??!!":D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Oh Boy you Ohio boys are in for it now. We got 3 guys shooting Old Glory's you don't stand a chance!!!!!!!!!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

So far we have 2 Alleys, Troys and mine.

Not sure what Phil is shooting an Alley or OG I would assume???

No telling what PAT may show up with:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Justin and Troy, thanks. It's the only way to fly. Especially with kids. ;)
Chad, don't tell anyone. It's a foam kitty. :D
Good luck Matt. Don't leave any room in the 11.
I'm shooting an Old Glory.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Hey muzzy any word on Alley???

BTW I told you I got mine The last week of December right

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

One of everything for sure and doubles (left hand) of some too...;):)

Heck, in order for me to shoot y'alls class I may have to go buy some different equipment, or just shoot my hunting rig...[8D]:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Nope, no word on Alley yet. It probably shot so nice at the factory that they decided to keep it.:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Pat, you can borrow my old, tired, worn out P40 Dually. It's a pumpkin killer. :D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Just wanted to say Hi to all you fellow keystone state residents. If I were a betting man, my money would be on you Pa guys. Ohio is just a bit too nutty for me:D.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Clever pun from a pumpkin;)

I heard Vegas placed the odds 14:1 in favor of the Buckeyes[8D]

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

I'll be shooting HC in all of the national IBO shoots again this year. If you're going to drop the lowest score then you can count me in. Otherwise I'll just meet up & say hey to everyone.:) (Off to a slow start this year. Shot the worst round of my life on my first outing last weekend. Only about 50 points lower than last years avereage.)

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

medic, you mean to say we have more oak trees around here? Are acorns nuts? [&:]
Jeepnut, with a handle like that, you're only strengthening medic's position. :D I know what you mean about starting out slow. But in all my experience, I've found it best to approach a pumpkin patch slowly. Then drop the hammer fast. They'll never see it coming. [8D]:D BTW, look forward to meeting you at a Triple Crown, join in the fun.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Jeepnut come on and join in. I am sure you shoot better than most of those pumpkins, I mean come on your a Buckeye!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Just thought I'd add.......Shot the finals tonight at the Harrisburg Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show for Mens Hunter Class. (Was more like MBR tonight, they had us shooting into the rafters[:-])

1st Place- Your's truly Pumpkin = 326
2nd Place = 314
3rd place = 303

Now I'm tired and have to get up at 6:00AM to shoot our winter league 3D. Practice up little Buckeyes, practice hard.;)

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Nice shooting Matt. But we all know it's the bow. :(:D
And only beat other pumpkins. :D:D

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Wow Matt, looks like you smoked them, very nice job. But I aint skeered:D[:@][:'(]

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

First place in the hunter class just means you were the biggest sandbagger of the day;)

Congrats on the fine round[8D]

326 = 26 11's and 4 10's.

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

i usually shoot MBR, but il gladly jump down to hunter class, just to whip up on some of you flatlanders out there in ohio!

RE: Ohio versus PA Smackdown Official Thread
 

Come and get some, my new pie ingredient friend.
