[Coach]

I plan to be there on Friday, but I don't have any CWT stuff to wear.

[CouesWhitetail]

Good idea deserthntr!! I won't be there, but I know lots of cwt'ers will be.

We are planning on shooting Friday.

[Jackal]

I'll be up there Saturday and Sunday. I'll either be shooting or over by the shaved ice trailer.

[Coach]

Tell you what, I'll be going straight from the shoot to the little-league "All Stars" tournament in Round Valley. I'll be wearing my purple BR hat, and so will my son. I'll be with my wife and 3 boys so just yell "Coach" and see if I turn around - lol. I really didn't intend to head-coach our all-stars this year, but the head-coach got called to the Los Alamos fire, so now it's on me. Just look for a bald guy, a pretty gal, and 3 camo-clad young'ens.

Good Luck Coach, hope you guys do well in the tourney.

Thanks man. We had a Blast! Did 2 courses at Sunrise, 1 and 6, then played some baseball. We were fortunate enough to win our first game against Round Valley, but I have to say about that team and town, great kids, great coaches, very professional umpires and staff. Just awesome people there in Springerville/Eagar.

 

We'll be doing it over again tomorrow, get up early, eat a big breakfast, shoot one or two courses, play more baseball. This time we'll be playing the boys from Snowflake/Taylor and they know their baseball and always produce really strong teams. I know our boys are up the the challenge, but we can count on a really great and tough game.

 

Guys, the shoot is almost vacant. The guys setting it up did a fantastic job, it's absolutely gorgeous on Sunrise Mountain. If you're sitting down there in the heat, make the trip up, shoot some 3D, enjoy the area, and if you are a sushi fan, I can tell you, Sharky's (in The Chalet next to Safeway) is where people who know and love good sushi come. Ask for Doug and he'll set you up with a micro brew or Saki and the best food you've ever tasted.

 

I've known Doug a long time, and I can tell you, even if you aren't sure you're into sushi, he'll sit down with you, talk about what you like and don't, and put together something you will love.

i saw one person wearing a cwt shirt first thing friday morning walking in to get registered. i didnt have internet access so i missed coaches post. outshot my dad and uncle only missed once because me and houston shot at 70yds and i clipped a branch ha. but had a great time and shot every course!

[Coach]

We shot one round today - course 3. For whatever reason, we were all shooting better today. It was raining off and on, but really nice.

 

The boys from Silver Creek (Snowflake and Taylor) whipped us pretty good later in the day at the baseball tourney, but our guys just didn't look like themselves. Not taking anything away from Silver Creek, they played really well, we just weren't playing our kind of ball today. Hopefully we'll be able to play them again later in Flagstaff and bring our "A game" this time.

 

We'll be back up an Sunrise tomorrow to try and get 2 or 3 more courses in. Should have some good pix to share as well.

Anyone get a list of the raffle winners? I guess since my phone has been quite I didn't win anything.

 

I went up solo and shot all 4 of the upper courses and the Extreme course. I shot horrible Saturday but much better Sunday. I'm not sure if it was the hangover from Friday night, the rain, or the elevation (or all three) that did me in Saturday but I got a good nights sleep that night and had much more fun Sunday. Well except for the extreme course, that thing kicked my butt. It sure puts in perspective of thinking you can make those kinds of shots at that elevation. I knew the shots would be hard but I under estimated the difficulty of getting to the shots at that elevation. I was pretty winded much of the course. I missed 3 animals and shot most 5's and 8's with only 2 10's. I was ranging them all also! Definitely an eye opener.

 

Although I did descent on the long range course. I shot a 33 with a 12 on the 100 yard shot!! I was a total luck shot though, I only have a 80 yard pin so I held a foot high, closed my eyes, punched the trigger, and heard a nice sounding thump a second later. Pretty cool. I think my 33 was good for 4th or 5th on Sunday. I had a 5 on the bear which killed me. I wa sgood left to right but high. I just misjudged him, thought he was farther.
