MCH Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Been checking in over on AT on the Gainesville Pro/Am results. Looks like there are quite a few archers zeroing in on the new 14 rule. Apparently, the leader shot 10 in the first round. I shot my first ASA of the year two weeks ago and didn't even attempt a shot at a 14. The way things are looking, if I want to compete at a State/National level, I may have to change my approach. Anyone else shooting ASA? What are your strategies?

ultratec1 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s I'd like to shoot one but don't really feel like driving that far to get my butt royally kicked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s Kevin, you know there will always be the guys that go for the 14s everytime. if you feel you have the yardage right, then why not shoot for a few. not all, but a few. i have a feeling this is really going to be a big deal in ASA. those 14s are a serious risk reward shot..

MCH Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s Rumor has it that Tim Gillingham, the leader in Semi Pro class, shot at every 14 that was 35 yards and under. They say he was 40 up with two targets to go and dropped 8 points. Now that's shooting lights out. The Hunter Class, Bow Novice and Open C classes are looking a little more human. If I remember right, they're sitting at 206, 216 and 217 respectively for the leaders. They're not giving out an official 14 count, but the highest combined 12&14 counts I've seen are 11. ultratec--I've got a feeling you wouldn't get your butt kicked that bad. In fact, according to Tony, you'd be doing a little but kicking yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwheel5 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s Any change is subject to some controversy. But, controversy can be good. If I can see it I know I would shoot at it. Ata boy to the ASA to shaking things up. BTW, Gillingham is not a semi, he is pro, and he won.

dg Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s Stick the 14 in the hind leg and see what happens surrounded by 5 land. Make it the "femoral artery"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] LOL. Might as well be in the hind leg. You're lucky if you don't get a 5 on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: ASA 14\'s Yep they set that baby way back there............I won't be going for it. I would rather shoot for 10's and 12's. Start going for 14's and you could possibly end up wayyyyyyyyyyyy down the list at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
