trad groups in NM?
« on: July 29, 2010, 10:54:00 PM »
I've been able to find one trad group in Silver City, NM, but that's all the way across the state from me...over by Arizona. Anyone know of others, especially in SE NM?  I'll look in west TX...there may be more there.

Wish I could help you guys out. My wife is from over that way in Clovis NM. Unfortunately the only guys I know out that way shoot wheelie bows.

Hi Eddie,

I'll sure let you know if I find a group. I'm surprised there's not one around you in the Albuquerque area. Do you know any of the bunch over at Silver City?  They're about 330 miles closer to you than they are to me.

Those wheelie/cam bows are waaay popular around here...as are 60-80 yard shots.  :rolleyes:

Yeah Andy, we've got the Crest here - lots of animals on those slopes!  Quite a few trad archers here but I don't know of a trad club; doesn't mean there isn't one, though.  I didn't know about the Silver City club but I don't get down there much, anyway.  There's a decent 3-D range not too far away but would sure like to get together with some like-minded folks every so often.  Yeah, lots of 60-80 yd shooters here, too.

Guy I went quail hunting with in Clovis/Ft Sumner swore he practiced at 100yds "to make those 75 yard shots seem like a chip shot". Give me a break.

I've actually seen guys that can group 5 arrows in 4-5" at 100 yards...but we'd best be careful, 'cuz talking about those kind of bows is a no no here!  "[dntthnk]"    A 75 yard shot with an arrow, even if started over 300 fps, is IMO, showing an immense amount of disrespect for the game being pursued. One step and a gut shot can occur. A miss would be better!

ooops I forgot. Please delete my posts if I broke the rules. Sorry moderators. But in that respect, you're right Andy...with ANY bow...thats way too much distance for anything not propelled by powder to travel, giving the animal too much time to move.

Benbow,
I looked at the website but couldn't find much info for the trad shoot.  Sounds fun I'm in Los Lunas and would like to go.  Is it a good shoot to bring the family and campout?  I will try to call the contact numbers and ask them also.  Thanks....Shawn

Shawn I went last year and it was a lot of fun. They do have camping there and the targets are setup in ways that kids can handle. They don't have much on their site for sure. Hope to see you there.

Hi Andy.
No clubs up here (that I know of) in the northeast part of NM, but if you ever venture up to Colfax County, I'll fling some arrows with you.
