TradGang April Virtual Shoot Roll-Up

[Cavscout9753]

Ok folks, thats the show for April. I'd like to thank everyone one more time. We had 55 shooters "sign up" with 34 participate, counting the 2 that were unable to shoot, so a pretty good turn out.
Additionally I had a lot of support and help and I really appreciate it, it made it much easier. Ok on to the scores:

1st Place: 30 Points
flyguysc

2nd Place: 28 Points
Friend
newhouse114
Jakeemt

3rd Place: 26 Points
DanielB89
Trick00
ARriverdog
maineac
MStrum
Bodie Phillips

Now for the largely made up catagories:

Most bows shot:
newhouse114

Most Interesting Bow:
Ben Bow (What IS that thing?!)

Best Photo:
newhouse114 (a shooting video will always beat a pic, haha)

Most "arts and crafts" target:
Dogboy900 (I need to do something like that! I could barely see my 10 ring, haha)

Thanks again folks. I'll be in el paso for much of May so the date for the next one is to come, but we'll look at what parameters we'll change up. This was a great event thanks to you all.
For those that sat this one out, I hope to see you at the next one! My goal will always be two-fold: make sure that its interesting and in some way reflects hunting (i.e. sane ranges, hunting shot scenerios, etc.) as well as keep it as inclusive as possible. We had folks shoot that have never shot any type of competitive shooting, folks that haven't shot in a long while, and a couple that I think just learned photo bucket or how to post pics, haha. That was and always will be the spirit of these shoots that I'll run. Rob, Terry, and the other admins and senior staff at Tradgang do a bunch of things that not only further great causes (such as St Judes) but also foster community. For this shoot (and future ones) thats important to me. I even remarked to my wife how we had 1 shooter all the way in the land of the kiwi, New Zealand! Any activity that in a small way draws this group together only strengthens everything that is great about Tradgang.
Thanks again everyone. I'll be posting an informal poll for ideas for the next one, while still keeping it simple enough for everyone to still participate.

Lucas you find my angle iron riser interesting?  
Fun project to make use of some limbs i built that came way over weight.

[Cavscout9753]

Thats hands down the craziest bow I've seen, but it sure seems to shoot great!

[monterey]

Ben shoots darn good with any bow.

Looking forward to the next round.  Gotta beat my 12.  

[Dogboy900]

I have plan for my next one to try and make it easier to focus on the center... Hopefully it works  

[mt-tom]

I sat this one out and I am sorry I did.  I have to get in on this next time.  I don't shoot that good, but I don't care.  Looks like too much fun to miss out on again.

Great shooting guys and thanks cavscout for putting it on!

[Cavscout9753]

No problem possum. Mt-tom, don't worry about your shooting at all. If you can hit the paper, you're plenty good enough!

[Dogboy900]

I second that! I think I am lucky to hit the paper with all three arrows most times! I am sure my score will drop as the shoot continues...

Augusta gives a green jacket to the winner,maybe we should give a green feather.

I've got green feathers I could donate    

[newhouse114]

An enjoyable escapade and I enjoyed making the video of my shots.

[Longbow58]

Sorry to miss the first one,will be joining the fun on the next.Not much for posting pics so I have to figure that out first. Thanks for running this Cavscout.

[flyguysc]

Lucas, thank you for your service to our country.

[Cavscout9753]

Haha, green feathers.. Good idea. No worries longbow58, even if you can't post pictures, if you can get them to me I can always post them for you. So don't worry about that keeping you out of it. Very welcome flyguysc, there's many of us on here, which is always good to see.

[lablover]

Sorry I've been down sick and have not been able to get out and shoot. Will try this week.

[Meilaq]

Thanks for setting this up. Always good to get a bit of a push to improve one's game.

And thanks for the Kiwi mention. Yes we like our bows down here too. Actually myself and dogboy900 have been flinging arrows around together in NZ since about 1981.

And he's still better at it than me

[dirtguy]

Next one soon?  I'll help out.

[Lady Frost]

Lucas, thanks so much for coming up with this.  I was not happy with my shooting, so I practiced as much as I could:

 

That's at 15 yards.  I will keep practicing and be ready for the next one.
