RangerClay Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Go to a 3D shoot with friends! :yes: For years it seems like whenever Swampy and I try to get together, something always seems to come up. We both live in northern NY and have been friends here on the forums for years but we had never met in person. Well the stars finally aligned and I made the 100+ mile trip up to Massena this morning. I finally got to meet the RT Forum "Banning Master" himself and his son Blade. After greetings and introductions Swampy took me to the Norfolk Rod & Gun Club for what was my first archery 3D shoot. We got unloaded, got signed in and off we went into the woods. Probably our best grouping of the day. Blade doing a little predator control. Swampy taking aim. A father & son pic. Last target of the day. What more can I say, it was great day today and I couldn't think of a better way to bring the summer to an end. Ken is a great guy and a gracious host. Blade is very special little guy and an excellent archer who will be teaching Randy Oitker a thing or two in a couple more years. I had a great time today guys, thank you for everything. As for results, I was planning on putting the smackdown on Swampy today but I didn't want him going off to Burlington next week with a complex. So I "purposely" sent 3 or 4 arrows off into the weeds and let him win. :taped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamphunter Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 It was an awesome time! My son really enjoyed his first 3D shoot and it was my first in probably 15 years or more. It was nice meeting Joe, and it took a few years to make it work, but we finally pulled it off. Thank Joe... you definitely helped makes this an awesome weekend!
