How many targets?

[724wd]

How many targets?

40, but there will probably be a bonus or two

[Dhoey07]

Never done a shoot, what's the jist of it?  You said 40 targets so you just walk a course and get scored on where you hit the targets or just if you hit them?  Range finders?  How far of shots?  Sounds fun any way you slice it

hopefully only a bonus or two  start getting too many bonus targets and they will take over.

I've been thinking about these shoots with bonus point targets and I don't like them much.  One target shouldn't be the deciding factor in a shoot.  Great to have them on Saturdays or fun shoots but on Sunday when the score matters on most shoots I like to see who wins heads up.

ive been to shoots with 4-6 bonus targets. Some being triple points! A lucky shot there could cause a win... I like to see heads up as well.

you've pretty much got it.  target scoring explained at the registration booth, but with 3d it's usually 5 points for foam, 8 points for outer ring, 10 points for bullseye, add an X for the tiny ring.  Rangefinders ok if you're not turning in a score card.  no sharing info with others, either  .  shots out to 55 yards or so. 

interesting view point on the bonus targets.  i usually don't turn in a score card so i don't worry too much about how the bonuses stack up.  i'll bring it up to the shoot chair 

on a shoot i put on two years ago, i had a triple bonus shot:  95 yard turkey! nasty, rainy, windy day, and a lot of guys still took the shot!      a couple hit it!     it was our Extreme Shoot, and i tried to make as challenging as possible.  not just long shot, but obscured ones, vertical ones, sitting/kneeling, etc... it was a lot of fun!

[BULLBLASTER]

for the extreme shoot I like those kind of shots, but I don't think they should be bonus... have an extreme class that has to shoot at them.
for the record I hit that turkey! barely... but got foam.  the tiny bear on the other side that was out there a ways with a apple on its head got me tho!

[724wd]

i hit that apple, but my arrows weigh so much, the force whipped it and bent the arrow!     the downside to aluminum...  took the 55 yard over the 95 yard turkey.  my arrows die after 60 yards 

[Instinct]

is the shoot still on.even with the snow?

[724wd]

it's the SNOW SHOOT!  of course it's on!
