Rick had a class up in WV this past weekend and drove to my place on monday. We met up and went on down to our camp. Got settled in and ate a good steak supper. Guys in camp were me, Rick, John Dill (kanati quivers), Jet Mathews, Nick Georgaid, and a friend of mine from Reno NV, Ed Doyle, who was out here rifle hunting for the week.
the next morning, he got us all togather and had us shoot about 3, 4 arrow groups in a target, while he filmed us. then we went upstairs and put it on TV. He talked to us about stuff we were doing and stuff we needed to do. then he took each of us one on one, back down and spent some time with each guy. He reflectched arrows, changed nock pts, shelf plates and what ever. the guys were excited when we broke for lunch. some of them had made great progress. after lunch we went out and shot a 3d course that me and Jet had set up last sunday. Rick took his bow and shot right along with us. It was a fun time.
that afternoon we all went to get on our stands. I went with Rick and got my first experience in how to be a camera man. We saw one small buck and a doe. we pasted up the cowhorn and the doe never presented a shot. We got down at dark and met John, who also had a small spike under him all afternoon. When we got back to camp Jet and Nick were there. Jet had seen deer but no shot. Nick had shot a big 5pt management buck. 165lbs and about 4 1/2 yrs old. He had just went to 3 under that day and drilled him right in the pocket. deer made it about 75ys. end of day one. DB
