Yes the range is in Burlington IA at Crapo Park. There is also a club at Big Hollow and it is called Flint River Bowhunters Club.

I attended the last 3d shoot for the year at the local club yesterday. I scored a 137 which was the same score as last month I was hoping to do better because I made a set of POC Arrows and practiced a lot. (My Homemade arrows are 510 grains and the POC are 380 grains) The lighter arrows shoot flatter and group tighter but tend to require more skill to shoot. I like the quality of the arrows they snap back faster and are straighter than my homemade arrows but the POC tend to shoot much higher on the down hill parts of the course. So I can have arrows that shoot great at 15-20 and work well on the down hill parts or arrows that are lighter and shoot flat out to 25 and work great on the up hill. So I think I am going to work toward the middle with my next set of arrows.
My homemade arrow are great for my 15yard hunting situations but don't work well for 3d shooting. I am going to keep my 500grain setup for hunting for Now.
So for 3d shooting I was going to use heavier wt arrow shafts rather than adding wt to the tip. What do you all think?
iowabow:
Rather than making arrows right away I decided to buy a practice treestand. I set the stand up and fired the bow at 15, 10 ,and 6 yards from the base of the stand with both sets of arrows and notice no difference between the two sets of arrows. I did notice a different in accuracy, the POC were much more on the mark. I sure hope all of this practice makes a diffence this time. Last year I did not shoot from a stand. I will include pictures maybe later today.
