Yep Jeff did good. This was my 3rd. shoot and he still beat me by 2points! i shot a 267. Ask Jeff or wait for him to read this and reply about this quote he said:
"It takes you 2 hours to watch 60 minutes!!"
You should have seen it. LOL .....

RE: First ever outdoor 3D tournament....
good shootin Jeff. going to my 4th shoot tomarrow morning. going to be a crowd of us in our group. think atleast 6 of us! just going to be a good time...
i never understood why "hunter class" shot mostly 30yd average or so. most of the shoots here average 27 or 28yd shots with more farther than closer. i dont mind..and can make the shots...but i dont know why its hunter class when the average shot for a whitetail is what? 23yds? something like that i think....
i think i will shoot tomarrows without a range finder. i been crutching on it the last 3 shoots. the last one i called first, then ranged...arrows are expensive...i was just tryin to save money
but when i called it before shooting i was always within a yard or 2...
cant wait...gunna be a good time for sure...i just aint shooting first...theres 5 more arrows to come behind it!! lol

RE: First ever outdoor 3D tournament....
Yeah we had fun. Might go back on 9/1 and do it again.
I could get addicted....if people didn't takes so much time doing it. It's ONLY good hunting practice if you "kind of" treat it that way. Biggest transition I'd see 3D shooters carrying it over to hunting is......How in the hell do they expect a deer to stand there while they go through a 5 minute pre-shot routine.

RE: First ever outdoor 3D tournament....
I actually told a guy shooting with us Saturday that same line....
"It takes you 2 hours to watch 60 minutes"
I walked up and got our arrows while he was still jawing....waiting to shoot (waiting on what.....I'll never know). Freakin ridiculous.

Also if they were any closerthe 11 rings would be pummeled.
