Today was my clubs first 3D shoot of the year. The forcast didn't look good, but after some light showers, and freezing rain early, the weather held off. We had 180 shooters, so it was a pretty good day for our club. So far it seems most people really liked the course.

Adam and his brother Alex, and Ed drove down from NY to shoot with us. My wife and I and Scott, also shot, along with 2 guys that have never shot before.

Jen and I along with Jared, and Steve shot together as a group. Jen smoked us with a 258. Jared shot exceptionally well for his first shoot, and ended with a 253. I bombed with a 243, after fighting left and right issues since yesterday afternoon. Finally figured out my rest was messed up on target 27. Scotty got me straigtened out,( thanks bro) and I was back on track for the last 3 targets. A little to late to salvage anything, but at least I finished in a better state of mind. I was getting pretty down on myself, becasue I felt good shooting, but wasn't getting the results. Steve had to take off after the half way mark due to prior commitments. He shot really well, especially considering he just recently picked up a bow for the first time in 20 years. Looking forward to shooting more with both Jared and Steve.

Here are some pics from today...

I learned something today, Adam isn't the biggest ballbreaker in his family...He could take some pointers from Alex!!!

Very cool pics tedicast! I think I know why Jen smoked you guys, check what kinda bow she has in her hands compared to you guys...:D :D

I would like to do that again someday. Back when I was first getting into archery, my uncle took me to a few shoots. Not nearly as popular back then as they are now. ;):cool:
