A sincere thanks, then, guys. Much appreciated.:)

RE: Traditional 3D.......lotta fun
 

I am serious. No big deal there. Missing4 out of 30 target is nothing, especially at this stage.

You should see all the broken arrows we collect after a shoot. :D

RE: Traditional 3D.......lotta fun
 

I'm not saying how many I miss at some shoots.;);)

RE: Traditional 3D.......lotta fun
 

Me either!

RE: Traditional 3D.......lotta fun
 

I'll shoot a 20 yd max shoot in a few weeks.....and my goal there will be to score 130 (10ea 8's and 10ea 5's). I think that's a reasonable goal.

What do you guys think?

There are some terrific trad shooters who shoot this circuit....including our state champ....who hovers around 190-200 on a regular basis (20 targets). That's shootin' the eyes out (or heart/lungs) if you asked me.;)

Jeff,

I've seen2 IBO World Champions completely miss a 20 yd shot.... I realized that day that we all put our britches on one leg at a time! Just keep shooting and keep working on form... I have no doubt you'll be in the above average group in no time!

Jeff I know how you feel. I shot my first Trad 3D round last year. On a 30 target course where we score 10x, 10, 8, 5 ,0 I managed to shoot a 206 out of 300 with only one zero. And the second one I shot a few weeks later I managed to not miss any targets and score a 215 out of 300:D. It does get better. I'd say you shot well. Keep up the practice and you will be all ready come the fall.

Jeff I think that's really good shooting for this stage of the game.........Probably about where I was last year at the same time in my shooting.
I love seeing progression and how the mind and body starts to be able to repeat these shots, and picking up the little things learned and learned through trial and error or experience.

I have made a decision this weekend to not score or compete in traditional archery. I'm just not going to do it. This is just something that is too much fun for exactly what it is, learning a new skill to use in the hunting woods and have fun with friends.
I don't want to screw that up and cause any bit of the feeling of stress I feel on the 3D course with wheels in my hand.

I'm going to shoot for me and that's it.
