Title: First 3D shoot!
Post by: Hawkdancer on August 04, 2018, 09:45:35 pm

Our local club held a fall tune-up 3D shot, decided I could use the practice and experience.  Used the in progress hickory bow I finished tillering at MOJAM - I think it shoots right where I point and release!  Didn't exactly scare the big boys with my shooting, but had a few good shots.  The ranges were very long for non-wheelies, I thought, but I had a few good hits.  Will try to post pics from my phone.  Going to try to do more 3D, I think.  Totally pooped out, but I had fun!

I'll lend a hand, imgur is working for me right now.

Good shooting!

All the shots were 15 - 25 yards!  No close in shots.  I am in the process, slowly, of tuning my arrows to the bows and me, instead of adapting to the equipment.  I will be doing a lot more range time and 3D, I think.  Just have to get done with the honey do list!  I missed more than I hit this time out, got to reverse that, and improve the score!

Thanks, Paul!  I have a ways to go before the big boys get worried, I hope to have them wondering "who the heck is that old guy" real soon!
