Hey guys, I am new to the site but have been checking it out for a while. I bought a Camera from Amanda at the outdoor expo.
ANYWAYS, I was at the shoot also. What a stinking blast! I never knew 3d's could be so challenging. I haven't done one in over 15 years back when I was a kid. I have done 4 so far this year, the 2 Willard springs shoots, the one the Superior Bowhunters put on at Oak Flats, and of course the Sunrise shoot. I am amazed at how much of a better shooter I am after doing these shoots. It's definitely a different animal (so to speak) than the range. My confidence is a lot higher now and I am getting better at judging distance which I struggle the most at. I spoiled myself with a range finder.
I was pretty proud of myself. I shoot all 4 courses using only one arrow. I had plenty with me as backups but shot with the same arrow all weekend. I did miss once out of the 60 targets but the arrow lived through the wet stump shot. I now how a new lucky hunting arrow! I didn't have the best scores and only had 2 12 ring shots but I did well overall in my mind. My proudest moment was hitting the 12 ring dead center on my last animal of the weekend. It was that Lion at 50 yards at the end of course 1. I do believe it's the same one Siwash posted a picture of earlier. The other 12 ring shot was a pig at 40 yards (attached). It was a cool shot, the three of us had 2 12's and a close 10! I had to take a picture of that one with my phone, you don't see that every day.
Great site! I look forward to chatting with you guys more in the future.
