1st 3-d. . . the wall o shame.
Prarie Bowyer:
Well I did my first 3-d shoot today.
Was up last night making a btch of new arrows 98% of which were sacrificed to the woods Gods. When I got down to two arrows I realized that I should shoot the same arrow till I loose/break it. I started improving! Oh and I switched to the kids distance.
what I learned.
1)Wear boots. It's a mucky mess back there if it has recently rained.
2)Shoot the same arrow till you loose it.
3)Practice with your arrows some before going (yea I went with a new bow and new arrows).
4) Don't misplace the shooting tab... dry shooting that much hurts.
Score was all over the place. Safest place for any wild animal for me is at about 20yds broadside.
Impressive misses: Bison, Standing bear, Elk.
Impressive Hits: Skunk, Gator, Mosquito, Havelina.
Most common hit, gut shot - 5 except the Hayenna who took it in the noggin.
Was hoping for a Turkey shot but didn't get it. Killed the Dino. That was kinda cool.
Injury: Broken knock slapped the arm and left a wicked bruise. Pretty sure if it wasn't a boo arrow I'd be in the ER right now with a shaft in my arm.

The main thing is that you tried, and got your feet wet (no pun intended).

LOL, been there done that. Wish there were more around here. Byron invites me every time and so far there's always a conflict. :'( I love 3D shooting.

M-P:
Howdy, 3D shoots are my main use for all the bows and arrows I build. There are some days where the arrow gods demand sacrifice(s)! Ron

Found my shooting tab today. It fell behind my desk.
