3-D with Primitive Bows

[George Tsoukalas]

Sure do. Jawge

[Keenan]

Yep sure do,  best place to convert a few wheelie boys.  It really turns some heads when you walk through the coarse with a snaky character bow.

If I could find any shoots near me I would definitely shoot with my sticks.  But I haven't been able to find any yet.

Yup, I shoot primitive (or longbow) at 3D shoots.
I generally shoot my Hazel bow 40# @28" (although I think it's lost a few pounds now).We have a good selection at our club, including a Roman Centurian who is difficult to hit as he has a great big shield which doesn't score.
My fave is the big rubber crocodile (only known as Doris for some inexplicable reason), my best shot was on my first 3D shoot, I got Doris first arrow kill at 30 yards over water.
Of course in the UK it's illegal to shoot real critters (even vermin) with a bow.

That's too bad Del. I know hunting in the UK is pretty limited but it's sad that with such a rich history with archery you cant even hunt rabbits with a bow there.

Yep, i use what i use for hunting, i'm going to an indoor shoot second weekend of FEB. Come on down Jesse, if your not doing anything.

[Ryano]

yep, our club has a regular open 3-D shoot once a month april to september and a traditional only shoot in May. I help set up and tear down the targets and I get to shoot for free, so I shoot at every one. I don't even own anything but wooden bows anymore.

[Little John]

When I get to shoot 3d You know it is with primitive gear.

[Bill Skinner]

The ASTB has four shoots per year, the classes are longbow, recurve and primitive.  Sterling and Krista Holbrock are usually in the top some where, usually 1st.  And Sterling usues shoot or rivercane arrows with self nocks.  Bill

[Buckeye Guy]

What else would we do all summer ?
I don't travel well but still do about one each month !
Memorial week end through labor day !

[mullet]

 Bill,   Please tell Sterling and Krista I said hi and they ought to come back down for the TBOF Spring shoot in March.

[straightarrow]

I shoot several in my area. There are many archery clubs and there is a shoot every weekend. I also attend Dentin Hill and shoot 3D's all weekend long. I have never competed with my primitive equipment but have with recurves and longbows. I have smoked some compound shooters at 3D's and novelity shoots....thats a great feeling but my primary reason is for hunting practise.

Howdy,  3D shoots are my main archery event.  The local club has 10 3dD shoots each year, plus a summer 3D league with a shoot every Tuesday eve.  I'm lucky in that my local club is ~ 80% trad and even those that don't compete in the primitive category, usually have a wooden bow in the closet.  Several other traditional shoots ( in CA) have a strong primitive showing.  So I shoot 30-36 3D's each year.
