Yer embarassing me hoss. No big deal, I only won by 5 pts. But it was sweet to compete with a fairly large number of shooters who are used to the pressure of a big shoot, come from behind at 3rd place and take first...all as a "snap shooter" shooting a hunting weight (59@27) bow and hunting (585gr) arrows. I didn't put away anyone...thankfully ultracompetitive target shooters decided to not brave the heat. I would have to practice more to stay with some of the top shooters of the Traditional Bowhunters of Florida. I was just luckier than the rest this weekend.
You should have seen the looks on the faces of Gregg and the others when most of my arrows buried to the nock and some out the other side of the long range target backstop skipping down range. That was one of the many highlights of my weekend! Makes a feller feel good to have a setup that'll pass through a TBOF dragon as good as it does whitetails.
If ya'll haven't been to a TBOF shoot, you HAVE to go...awesome venue, wonderful people, well thought out logistics. Well worth the trip.
Best thing was, Connor, who at 9 has not cared for trad archery in the past few years, suddenly was bit by the bug and had to go on this trip. He took second in cubs, Chase took 3rd in youth, our own Skyler Wilson took 2nd in youth, and his best friend Mason took 1st! It was awesome seeing young men get wound up about traditional archery. It was very renewing seeing all the young folks and so many others with deep passions for our way of life.
