    Although I did not shoot very well( taget panic kicked my butt), I had a blast this weekend! This shoot is a lot of fun! I'll admit it was pretty tiring, but it could have been worse. The temps were in the 80-90s so it wasnt too bad. There was around 200 people in the hunters class which made for some tough competition. Anyway here are some pics of the weekend!

    What did you end up shooting?

    Did you shoot 50 or all 100?

    Were the "12" rings center 12's or offset?

    We shot the safari side yesterday, and the N. American side today. I ended up with a 415 on the safari side and today i bumped it up a tad with a 437. Like i said i had some target panic and this was my first shoot where i had 30+ people watching me shoot at times. The nerves got me a little. I had one target i missed by like 2 feet and hit a tree. I was bumming, but then shortly after i shot 7 straight targets with nothing but 10s and 12s. It wasnt as good as i expected, but it was a lot of fun!

    When it was in PA back in June I wanted so bad to go shoot it. Unfortunately it was not only my Saturday to work, it was the IL gtg as well as a Bowtech/Diamond event that I wanted to work. Saddly work won. :bash:

    Looks fantastic MO, congrats.

    Sorry guys, but it's a once a year event, unless you go to another state.

    Are the 12 rings in the center of the 10 ring or are they offset?

    The R-100 is actually up in Wisconsin next weekend. Only a few hours from my place. Might have to make that trip instead of shooting with Justin.

    Sorry, I forgot a question. They had some that were both it just depended on the target. The majority were centered though.
