SonnyThomas Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 2010 Archery Tournament/Practice ScoresI've been practicing. Last week I pulled the observation window out so to get 30 and 32 1/2 yards. Today, warmed up, I set loose 12 arrows for 60 and 10 Xs from 30 yards. I tried a 3 from 32 1/2 yards - have to bend a bit because of counter. Got my sight chart, yard for yard, out to 50 yards. 50 target 3D this weekend, so I think I'm ready. Been trying the 3" X vane - doesn't seem any better than 2" Blazers. The CXL 250 SSs run 342.1 with Blazers and 345 with the 3" X vane. Can't tell the difference in impact. That's my ProElite hanging on the right, 30 yards and 32 1/2 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Nice shooting. I might go to 3D shoot tomorrow that I have never been to so I have no idea what to expect. I am preparing for worst case scenario and today I have been shooting 40 yards just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Shot a 192 this week. I'm sad. Harry actually beat me.:jaw: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I didnt keep score at my yesterdays shoot. We didnt have a lot of time to shoot so we had to hurry to get it done. By far one of the easiest shoots I have been to besides the 50 yard plus elk target that they had, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Finally! Well, I finally got to get back on a course yesterdaya nd it felt good. I started out a little shaking on the first ten targets, (could have because of the extra refreshments I had the nite before-ugh) with two 5's. I got squared away and put my mind into it and began a 12 ring vengance. It was a pretty tough course but ended up shooting a 244 on 2 targets. I shot 7 12's, 5 8's, and the two 5's. Both five were on 30 yards targets and that really chaps my butt I did that.:angry: Regardless, it was good to get on the course and shoot. I've got another one next weekend, its another circuit shoot and I'll be ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Good shooting Kevin. I just went to a course today and I shot a 337. Not my best score ever but it was a tough course and the wind didn't really help my shooting, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyThomas Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 2010 Archery Tournament/Practice ScoresShot the 50 target event and did so-so. Beings a buddy was using his range finder I didn't really keep score as turning a score is not allowed if anyone in a group is using a range finder. Still, one shot was well worth putting on a 3 day event. I had been slapping DT's arrow virtually throughout the event, but on target 40 that changed. He was above the lower ASA 12 and I said; "Oh well, when in doubt just aim for the nock." DT said; :Yeah, sure." He was using his binoculars when I let log. Wham! Robin Hood! 40 yards! Got a pic, but sort of sucks. The rain or humidity must have got to it. Odd for them computer chip jobs, but you can see a lot of gray and I changed the color and contrast a bunch. I drew in the 10 and 12 ring and underlined my arrow and where it stuck in DT's arrow. Just today me and another sidekick went to Pekin for a relaxing 30 3D target event. We did good just playing around. CB shot a 290 and I shot a 288 for 300. IBO or ASA point rings not counted, but we had a few of them. To finish off the shoot I once more tried for the 50 yard 2" clay disc. 3 shots for a $1.00. My first shots were actually touching the bottom of the orange clay target. My last shot drilled the little sucker. When we left I was the only one to hit it. So maybe I got some prize money coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's been in the 100's here this week which really makes your string wax penetrate your string. One guy uses Scorpion Venom on his string and it kept making a spray everytime he realeased his arrow which was somewhat distracting. Shot a 198. Beat Harry again. But his team beat mine. We are respectful of one another at all times and conduct ourselves in a professional and adult manner of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I am going to a worlds qualifier in a few weeks in Oswego NY and I can't wait for it. It is the first big shoot that I have ever been to and if I get in the top 20 scores in my class I get to shoot in the worlds in Elicottville. The guy emailed my dad and said he would be shocked if there were more than 20 people in my class and pretty much guarantees me to qualify for the worlds. I can't wait for it guys!!!!!!!

Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) What arrows do you guys use for your 3D set ups. I am looking for a pretty light arrow for my 3D set up. I was thinking either the goldtips ultralight entradas 500s or the carbon express maxima 3D selects. What do you guys think? I am kind of leaning towards the goldtips because they are priced very good but thought I would ask you guys first.

m gardner Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They are all good. I prefer Maximas though. The most important aspect of your setup is between your ears. Don't get too serious and don't think about your score just shoot and have fun. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Had a 3D shoot today. Shot a 325. I was proud of my score since everyone was telling me that it is one of the toughest local shoots around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Just shot a 349. My dad shot a 348 and I beat him on fathers day. I did give him some lessons on shooting though so thats his fathers day gift, lol, just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultratec1 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Not sure how many guys here shoot or know what a target round is but we had our State Target chamionship a week ago and I ended up winning. I tied the state record shooting a 592 out of 600. For those not familiar with a target round you shoot distances of 60,50,40 yrds. You shoot 4 ends of 5 arrows at 60 then 50 the 40. I found a bow that I absolutley love I have and should have NEVER EVER gotten rid of my first one. Now its on to field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 My next 3D shoot is on sunday which is an IBO worlds qualifier shoot. If I place in the top 20 in my class I qualify for the worlds!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I just had the toughest shoot of my life, lol. I didn't have one shot under 30 yards. It was real tough but based on that I think I did alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyThomas Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Well, I shot in the ProAm back in June. I agreed to shoot a staff shooter's Martin Shadowcat. I had a week or so to play with it and it barely managed 264 fps, but was super accurate. Draw length was a tad long too. I ended up 46th of 78 in class, but there was only a 30 some point spread from me to 1st place. I got to be one of the score keepers, two of us, so I underlined my scores when I shot low. 14 times I just shot below the 12/10 area. Okay, I was a yard or two short in judging, but then I was used to a rig in the 280 fps realm. So being down 20 fps may have been some of my down fall. Later, use to the slower 264 fps I did real well in a few local 3Ds, a 1st place and a fun shoot with a 289/300. The bow was more or less a test bow and now has gone back to factory. I'd to have been to keep it and refine it for strictly indoor targets. Before I forget. I reported sometime back that I nailed the little disc from 50 some years. Well, I won the long distance shot. Noticed in one reply of arrows for 3D and someone noted Maxima Selects. At one time I would have said; "Good choice." Today, the Maximas far heavier than the older CXs, nope. And I like Carbon Express arrows, just not the too heavy 250s and 350s. I shoot CXL 250 SSs for indoor and 3D. A little thicker than Maximas and a lot lighter.
