RE: "So you wanna learn how to shoot 3D?"
This is the reason I don't compete for real anymore. I used to have a lot of fun at shoots and after a while it got so serious that it was like work.
I suggest grabbing your recurve or longbow and get to an all-traditional 3D shoot. You wouldn't recognize it as being the same game. It's like being at a birthday party, where you can joke and laugh out loud and genuinely enjoy yourself. It really is a whole different world with a completely different mindset.

The last few compound shoots I went to, it was like being in a library where you can't hardly breathe without someone getting all disturbed. Everybody all tight and serious. That's one reason I enjoyed doing the 'gamesmanship' things with them, just to piss them off.

I'd like to do that, too, Arthur.
I don't think I have enough arrows, though.

Biggest problem I'm having in 3D is..........
Learning how to slow everything down to the point that it takes 5 minutes to loose one arrow. I'm practicing for the upcoming 3D season by watching mind-numbing BS on television. I've graduated to the point to where now it takes me 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.
I'm getting there.

Dont count Rob out!! lol........
I'll be at the GTG, but won't be shooting from HC stakes. I'm probably going to shoot Open this year but if I can get my hands on an 82nd and can get it tuned to where I have 100% confidence in it, I may stay back in MBR for one more season. Hopefully Justin can have some long stakes setup for us to shoot from.

How long does it take a pro golfer to size everything up and calculate everything before he putts a complicated putt? What about a longer shot, how long does it take to figure out the distance and select which club? Isn't this similar in golf?
