Well, I went out and shot the course, and I have to say that I had a really good time. The course I shot was 20 targets indoors up to 40 yards, and 20 outdoors out to 45 yards from the hunter/open stakes. Scoring was on a 10 point scale, and to my surprise when the score was tallied up I had shot 294. Not bad for my first time out. I think that I'm going to go to another 3D shoot next weekend. I enjoy being able to shoot at realistic targets from various angles, and it's really made me appreciate the effect of range and wind on arrow flight.

driftrider, you will have a great time. Two tips: pick a spot on the target and shoot at yardages you are comfortable with. If you're unsure of the yardage, move to a marker that is in your comfort zone. Nothing macho about busting up your new equipment.
Have fun...

Expect to have fun. Don't shoot any of the participants and you'll be fine.
