Will we need rain gear???
-
We usually do have rain but it nevr has been a major problem, we always manage to get out shoots in. This year we are a about a week earlier so it might help.
-
I think I may have to drive out. It is only 90 minutes from my home. If anyone else from Utah wants to go we can carpool.
-
Steve are you going to use the bow you built in 2007 the one you dubbed "over built"? That's one sweet piece of sage and a testament to it's durability over time...Good luck to ya

Butch, I think I will retire it this year. I all ready have the record with it and am hopeful my grandson can take it back in about 15 years and beat either mine or the new record holder with it. I can still tweak it a bit more.
-
Like in the email, Steve, I'm working on one. :) It won't be ready this year.
-
what about the 100 lb osage bow. Are you going to use that one? If so, I would like to know how it did.
-
James Sanchez will shoot the 100# osage, I am hoping for a 300 yard broadhead shot with it. It has enough speed with the 500 grain arrows to hit over 300 if conditions are at least fair. Present record for unlimited broadhead is 270 yards.
-
Good luck this weekend Badger. I'll be watching for the results to be posted.
-
Go show them how its done, Steve. 8)
-
Goodluck Steve!.... Brian
-
I wanna shoot that 82# shorty! But that's way too far for me.
-
I wish i could find a way out there especially since i live an hour away
-
Good luck Steve,hope to do well. :)

Good luck, Steve, take lots of pictures.
-
Steve, have a great time there, break them all, take tons of pics and please check out the data of the best arrow they' ll use there.
Great times, Michael

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the well wishes. Leaving tonight and should be back with some pics on monday. I am bringing the 100# osage for James Chavez to shoot in the broadhead. Other than that I only have one I am feeling pretty good about. If I can get good arrow flight I should be able to top the 400 yard mark this year.
-
I hope both bows score the win for you !!
I wish this was not so far from me, I would love to watch and maybe even give it a try !
-
Steve, enjoy. Have a good trip. Jawge

And just a heads up Badger, It has rained every day in Salt Lake for about the passed 3 weeks.
-
Well, how did you do?
-
Well the lake was wet when I got there but the weather was great. I set a record in the 50# simple comp broadhead class I had been chasing for about the past 9 years. I moved it from 227 yards to 231 yards very close.
The interesting part was with my little flight bow. I am getting better speeds out of it than any other flight bow I ever built but could get any distance because of arrow tuning, a little girl with a 20# long bow beat me in one round. I did manage to get it out to about 330 yards in the last round using better matched arrows but I know the bow has over 400 yards in it. I plan to shoot it agin next year after refining the arrow pass and finding out which arrows shoot best out of it. I presently hold that record in the 50# simple comp with 341 yards but I know it is easily beatable.
I wish more of you guys would give it a try, all the records are beatable.
-
Congrats on the new record. How far did the 100# osage bow shoot?
-
Congrats Steve,sounds like a good weekend. :)

James the shooter had an inury and wasn't able to get the bow back all the way. We remeasured the weight at about 112#@28" 60" long. Maybe next year we can get a proper shot off.
-
We had an archer there from Hungary named Joseph who also brole a couple of primitive records in the unlimited division. Powerful archer with good form and tecnique. He came very close to 400 yards with a flight arrow in the unlimited division, and close to 300 yards with a complex composite in the broadhead division. I don't know exact yardages at this point.
-
Congrats, sounds great fun, I'll have to get to a flight shoot sometime soon.
BTW I'm having trouble viewing the pictures ;) >:D

That's the problem with heavy bows, not everyone can pull them. Maybe next year James can have a go at it with that Osage bow or maybe someone else will show up that can shoot it. Good go with the records
-
Correction, Joseph shot 270 meters in broadhead with an unlimited self bow and 289 meters with an unlimited complex composite, so that would be over 300 yards with the complex composite.
