Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted July 8, 2010 I did 6 courses and to be honest they were setup well and agree that some of the targets needed to be upgraded or turned around. The one was not shot up on the back side. I wonder if an archery person was present when they set up that target? Second was there needs to be more enforcement of the 4 shooters per group rule that I think the ABA upholds. We were on course 3 Saturday for 3.5 hours and that includes skipping two targets mid way through to try and get ahead of two large groups and then we walked off the course with 4 targets to go having waited 20mins and still had 2 groups ahead of us waiting to shoot the next target. That my friends is way to long on a single course! In the end... it was a good shoot and I felt I got both my monies worth and my archery skills tested. Great practice for my upcoming bow hunts. I got to shoot with Deserthntr and I thank him, his dad & buddy for allowing me to join in their group. It was a pleasure to shoot with you guys, thanks. I wish I could make the ABA shoot at the end of the month but we have our RMEF banquet in Tucson that same weekend. I thought I saw you on Friday shooting alone.... We let you shoot through on Course 5 I think and my brain didn't register that you looked familar till you were gone...LOL! Sounds like you enjoyed yourself... we did also... The only way to go is the early AM I might try shooting late next time as well??? Mid-day was s-l-o-w..... took us 2 1/2 hours on #1... Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmc Report post Posted July 8, 2010 Just a thought, why doesn't anybody set up a chronograph at these shoots? Somebody could make a ton of money!!! Figuring that Chronos cost about $200 then one better charge $50 a shot because it won't take long before some idiot puts an arrow through it. It is a good idea but I think I'd have a piece of steel with a hole cut out for folks to shoot through. Actually now there is a novel idea for the smoker course to get more folks to shoot it! Maybe on the first target on the smoker you shoot through a hole in a steel plate at a target. As long as you make it through the steel you'll know your speed even if you miss the target down range, you'll know how fast you missed it. Hmmm.... Think the ABA guys could work on this one before their event? Hey Dick you reading this one? C&S.... I think I recall you guys shooting too now that you mention it. To funny. cmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
