"and a consistent shooter"

If sending an arrow a foot OVER a target, followed by sending an arrow a foot UNDER a target is the definition of "consistent," then, YES, I am a "consistent shooter."    :o

Statistically speaking... You got him!
I went to see where the tree went down. It was near the next-to-the-last target, the small feeding buck. Top of the tree was brushing the trail. While there, I found an arrow that I had forgotten I had mIssed with. How fortuitous!

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

That was a HUGE tree that fell, and it DID make a noise!

Killie,

Do you have bear in your neighborhood?  I've heard them knocking trees over in the mountains of WV while I was deer hunting.  I think maybe the bear(s) was, or were, giving me a warning that it, or they, didn't want me trespassing in its, or their, neighborhood!

She is great, I'd say. She went out of her way more than once for me.

So, yeah, the day ended with a bang when this middlin' size red oak came down. Glad we were up at the clubhouse. Not likely that a bear would get uppity in these parts.   "[dntthnk]"

I had a blast. I love shooting 3D and I am often too lazy to do the course without company. Thanks, Kingsnake.

Wow . . .That is pretty darn close to where we were, huh.  I guess timing truly is everything!

Pleasure was all mine, Killdeer.  (Although I may feel a bit sore today!)

Consider your start to "real" archery a success!

I have to say my favorite day of shooting 3D was at BBTC, shooting what I believe is the finest single course location as far as sheer outdoor beauty goes, with Kathy.  I actually carried a camera with me.......and never once took it out of my pocket.   :banghead:  

Quite a start to your archery adventure....and you got to shoot Kathy's bows to boot!

Killy is in a class by herself.  You're an enriched 'newby' to have Killy's company on the range. Even us old timers would learn an archery trick or two from that gal. Not to mention we're envious of her stable of bows(not beau's).      ;)

Yeah, we like her around here. She's definitely top shelf as TradGang members go. You've picked one of the best teachers to show you the ropes on this site no doubt. And we are all jealous you got to meet and spend time with her.

You guys must be blind to her evil ways!  She knew I was a newbie and STILL dragged me all over the range shooting who knows how many arrows.  How do you think my shoulder feels today?  :knothead:  

Just kidding.  I'm sore, but it's "a good sore."  Fantastic experience and Killy is a true gem.

Sounds like y'all had a great time! Kingsnake you're always better in the long run when trained by the best.

Always remember you're your own worst critic. In the beginning there will be good days as well as not so good days. Guess what, those not so good days will still show up from time to time. Enjoy the trip, you'll never regret it!!!

Killdeer -- That's what you meant by the tree coming down.  

Kingsnake -- I asked Killie if she wanted to meet at the range this Sunday, but she has other priorities.  She did suggest I contact some new guy that drug her all over the range last Sunday.  I guess I know who it is now.  Are you interested?  I might be able to get one or two more guys out too, we'll see.  I can get you signed up at the club at the same time if you want.

I remember a picture of an artillery officer standing behind the gun with a martini in his hand, dressed in his very finest. The caption read "Artillery brings class to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl".

Could it be that's one of Killdeer's functions to this forum?
