    I haven't shot much as of late but I decided to go shoot my second 3-D tournament of the season today with the longbow. Distance was Max 20 yards with at least 5 shots upwards of 25 yards. I hit 29/30 targets and had 4 12's for a final score of 217. I had several 5's that were just shy of cutting the 8 line. I thought I was going to make it through the whole course without missing a single target but #23 was a javelina downhill at 22 steps that I grazed the belly. But in my defense there was a tick crawling up my leg as I was trying to shoot, LOL. All in all a pretty good day, I figure I'll win the Trad bracket as I prob. will be the only trad shooter there. Stephanie shot the compound after not picking it up since last year and shot pretty well. I didn't take the camera as we were racing the rain that was on it's way.

    Thanks Steve
    I finally got in a groove towards the last 15 and the guy behind us was shooting from the hunters stake 40 yards max. I stepped back and shot some from the hunters stakes and done fairly well. I did shoot one bear 2 times b/f I hit it from 42 steps. We have the R100 here next weekend, I'd like to take the longbow, but they have some flamingos that I know it'll take a stroke of luck to hit. Might pull out the compound to tackle it, who knows?

    It's official, I won the Trad. bracket at this weeks shoot. Of course it wasn't very hard to do since I was the only trad shooter there, LOL.

    I knew going into the shoot that I would prob. be the only trad shooter there, I figured if I was gonna pay $12 I might as well get a trophy, LOL!!!
