Just wondering if there is any 3-D shooter. Just starting in wisconsin one been to a couple this year.
Setting up target bow shooting 52 pounds and getting 279fps might make it a little faster but stay under 288fps for IBO shoots. If anybody else shoots let me know might see at a shoot Starting to tavel this year out of wis more. see you later shoot straight and remember after it gone think about the next one not the last one |

I used to be a serious 3-D shooter, until a horse and I had a disagreement, about the location of my shoulder. I have been working back into shooting, using traditional equipment, and will be competing again starting this spring. My bows probably shoot a hundred feet less per second, but will still certainly kill an elk. When I was still active in the local club, we had the compound shooters outnumbered, so would set up the courses so the traditional shooters had the advantage, since we know our trajectories much better than wheel bow shooters. They could still make thier shots good, but had to shoot through brush and other obstacles. So it wasn't a long range proposition, that you generally end up when compound shooters would set up a course. We figured the close in shots were much more realistic from a hunting stand point, than the long range shots that may encourage irresponsible shots in the hunting field. I do shoot out to 40 yards in practice, and can keep them on a paper plate, but don't consider it a proper distance for hunting with the bow. The longest shot I ever made was on an elk at 25 yards, and most of my kills have been from two yards, to fifteen.

Waksupi, 2 yards? That must have been a bushel of high energy excitement. A little background please? |
