3-D with Primitive Bows
« on: January 22, 2011, 02:18:03 pm »
I used to compete in 3-D shoots all the time with my compound equipment. Now that I build and shoot exclusively my own bows (self and backed) I was thinking of starting up again. Does anyone else shoot or compete in 3-D shoots with you primitive equipment? If so, what setup do you use?

 I used to compete in the ASA open class With compound. Got burnt out about 6 years ago and didn't pick up a bow till last year when I started making my own. I think it is alot more satisfying and fun doing it this way. To me, there is nothing better (almost) ;) than watching an arrow that I make shootting from a bow that I make. No more 12 rings, just hit the vitals and relax ;D

i shoot around 10 3d a year. i shoot what i intend to hunt with  but shoot a lighter arrow most of the time. dont be intimidated by others or more modern equipment, just have fun and shoot what you like. you will be surprised at how many self bows you see out there any more.

if your not dead you are getting older so get out and shoot some arrows.

I went to 2 of them last summer.  They were both traditional only shoots.  I had a blast.

Yep,the wife and I shoot 3-D with primitive bows. We go to two 2 day traditional only shoots every year. We both shoot primitive longbows and wood or  cane arrows. In shoot a 55 # BBI R/D and hers is a 40# BBO R/D. Try it you'll have a blast.

I didnt think there was any other way to shoot a 3D tournament other than with traditional bows >:D

Only 118 days to our first outdoor 2 day traditional only shooot! ;D

 Traditional Bowhunters of Florida has 3 shoots a year. Three classes, longbow, recurve and primitive. The first two classes are glass.

I shoot 2 or 3 a year and use the same set up as when hunting. I buy a score card to support the shoot but don't keep score either and use it for hunting practice.

 Heck, first time I met Pat was at a 3-D shoot in Ga. I was shooting an osage that wasn't finished and Pat had a hickory bow that turned to a noodle when the temperature and humidity went through the roof.

I usually do a couple a year... one longbows only, with 2-blade broadheads, called North American Longbow Safari. It's a blast.

Just got back from an indoor one in Cheyenne today. I shot with a bunch (I think we had 9 in our group) all shooting recureve & longbow. About 50+ other people with compounds. I was the only one shooting 'primitive' equipment. But you know what, I had fun shooting and being with people I like. Will be doing about one a month till fall.
