3d shoots

Roy: I gotta get to shoot with you.  I cant walk those hill like I once did.. that will introduce you to the "lets talk about this shot" mentality... LOL

Huntschool's reply is same for what we shoot in AZ.  Our big competition is the Western States Triple Crown (google Arizona Bowhunters Association) which pretty-much models IBO rules.  There are other great trad 3D events hereabouts (or great 3D events which welcome trad) and most have a stake and range for trad, depending on target size, of 15-35 yds.  PS, good practice is finding a FITA Field event and shooting the barebow class.  

Have fun!

When I was setting up the 3D shoots I would have most deer sixe targets at 18 yards to 35 yards max. The smaller targets like turkeys etc at 15 yards to 20 yards.

The last one I went to ( A LOONG time ago) we had a spot just past the women and before the novice compound group....

I shot ok, but the best memory was some spoiled teenager bragging about his new something or other bow, and how it was a real bow....then one of the older wheelie gents tapped him on the shoulder and pointed in my direction and said
"That's a real bow sonny"

3D's out east that ive seen IBO ect. are around 30 yrds. Here on the west coast its no more than 40yrds.Most at 20-30 yrds. I have been to some shoots that are not trad only shoots and they are set up by wheel bow guys.They dont really understand the trad shooter.

I can't remember the last time I kept score at a 3D shoot... Most of the time I won't shoot from a stake anyway. Just like to step to the left or right of the trail and have a "real hunting type" shot. But that's just me.  :rolleyes:

I went to a shoot yesterday and as expected the shots were 10 to 30 yds. Most were in the 12 to 18 yd range with a few closer and 1 or 2 larger targets a little furhter. Thet had 85 shooters and everyone one I met was friendly and helpful.
