Gator Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Went to a local 3D course yesterday for a fun shoot, found out my range estimation needs ALOT of work!! Anyways, got a 5ft hang on stand looking at a 15yd turkey. Not as easy as it sounds. Anyways, there already 5 arrows in the thing, one guy pops off he'll buy me a coke if I can hit it in the head. So I turn, can't get a shot at all. Owner pops off he'll give me a coke and candy bar if I can hit it in the tail. We haggle it out, to the white strip on the very end, (RHINEHART TARGET). Now this strip is all of 1" wide, I got a spot to shoot maybe 2" big. I took aim, released, and yopu guessed it, right through the white, got me a water and kitkat outta the deal!!! Started using my rangefinder after missing 3 targets and losing an arrow. Missed one more after trying something, shot a 177 on 21 targets. Some were in stands. Pretty neat course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: Won a coke and candy bar It will get better. Keep at it and always look at the yardage and try to guess it before ranging it. They probably thought that buying you a coke was a good idea so you wouldn't bust one of their arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
