SUPER SUNDAY at the range - pics
« on: February 01, 2009, 05:47:00 PM »
Just got back from the range a bit ago and thought I would share some pics of a beautiful day in western Colorado.  First a few action shots.

 

 

 


Then the feast we had after shooting.  Menu included moose brats and burgers, salmon, halibut, pheasant and some chips and guacamole. A few liquid refreshments as well.

 


Last one, a pic taken from the clubhouse.

 

What a great winter day!

Hey Mark,
         Is that a Sheep target in the third picture and how far is that shot??
     Looks like you guys had a great day!  It was warm and no wind on this side of the Mountain, made it out to the range this morning myself.

Tater, that is a 2D sheep and that is a 50 yd shot.  We throw a few long ones in for fun.  We have one that is our 160 yd cross-canyon shot.  All the regulars have a "cross-canyon" arrow in their quiver (one you don't mind losing, breaking, bending, etc.).  It is a nice range, 3 - 2D ranges, 1 -3D range, a practice range, a few broadhead targets and a flying pig.

I really enjoy the 2-d targets. I like em more than the 3-d targets on the market. Dale Pottenger used to make 2-d targets out of the same type foam that 3-d targets are made of.

 Where do ya'll get your 2-d targets

Looks like a very nice day...we had warmer than usual weather but it wasn't that nice.

I should have gotten out and shot some.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what a cool range!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Andy, our course is just outside of Grand Junction.  Milt still has his course but ours is probably just as close.  I sent you a PM.

Very cool range, How high up is it? do you see any arrow flight change at higher altitude?  :thumbsup:

You guys are lucky to be able to see that country every day. I've been to CO only twice in my life, and it affected me profoundly. Such pretty country--and no hurricanes, which would be a nice change for those of us grinding it out on the Gulf Coast.

Cheers!
