Gettin in some pre-classic practice

[Stringman]

It's been a long cold and wet winter. Not had much enthusiasm for the finer arts of form and shooting. Now that the winter season seems to be behind us, I took some time to get out and fling some wood. I have a new batch of arrows and a recent acquisition that needed some testing. Looks like a match to me.



Any body else out there getting there string on?

I've been trying to get some shooting in also.  Looks like you are doing a lot better than I am.

[H Rhodes]

Heck yeah.  I was right there with you, don't you remember?   That's my big fat cane arrow way up at 11 o'clock  above yours in the pic....  the one that almost missed the whole danged bale!   Just foolin' Scott.  That is doggone good shooting.  Hope to see you at the Classsic.  I want to talk knapping with you.

That looks like a James Parker bow.

NICE GROUP!

[PAHunter]

Nice group and bow!  Heck I've been shooting all winter and don't often shoot groups like that!   

[PEARL DRUMS]

That looks like a James Parker bow.

NICE GROUP!

Nope! Guess again Brycey!

Nope! Guess again Brycey!

Probably a Chris bow then. But man it look a lot like my Parker bow.


Oh and Scott, next time shoot the arrows instead of just sticking them in the bale 

[Stringman]

The bow is a bit of a collaboration effort, and I'm proud to own it. It's crazy fast, stable and easy on the hands. Suffice it to say, the bow probably shoots better than I do.  (And yes these arrows were shot from this bow, but I'm not saying how far from the target I was.  )

Looking forward to meeting you too, Howard!

When I read the title of this post I thought you had already cracked the seal on a jar,,,lol

Now that this has been mentioned, I have never shot at the Classic. What distances and types of shots should someone expect to have at the shoot. I think they are all 3D targets?

[Pat B]

NC the 3-D ranges are set up for hunters with reasonable distances and real life situations. There are 2, 3D courses and a practice course, all 3D and a practice range at the target butts. Everything about it is top shelf.

Good shooting,but you are going to have to better than that. Just kidding that is a nice group,way better than mine at any range. What Pat said NC.most shots 20 or less maybe a 25 thrown in on a large deer or brown bear ,now maybe on the moose/boo/Elk it may be a bit futher but the Moose is big as a house. Very resonable distance.  Looking forward to seeing yall in a few weeks.

Looks good, I was wondering about that stray arrow at 11'oclock! 
Man, I'm getting excited.

[PEARL DRUMS]

That's my arrow Stevie!

[Stringman]

Nope that's just a stick I like to hang ballons on. Fun to shoot in a breeze. Forces your eye to aim for the center and not just aim for a dot. Also imitates live animals much better as you must time the shot to coincide with when it stops dancing. On top of that kids love to make it pop!

[Badly Bent]

I've been trying to do some shooting to get limber for the classic also but my arrows aren't hitting like that tight group  from your bow Scott. I can see that I better get out in the backyard more often and practice or I'll have to resort to some form of cheating so I won't embarrass myself on the range down there.
