D-Rock,
Although I've been bow hunting for 20+ years, I've never gone to a 3D shoot.  I understand a bit about them, but regarding the targets, are the yardages known or are guys using rangefinders, or are the ranges estimated by each shooter?  How many stations are there?
I definitely plan on going, getting some shooting in, and learning about the club.  Kenmore is a bit far for me and I'd like something closer and less of a traffic hassle!

If you're shooting as a registered shooter for score, no rangefinders are allowed. Yardages are not posted.  I believe the shoots that D-Rock puts on at Granite Falls are usually fun shoots, so rangefinders are allowed as long as you're not a registered shooter.
Don't know how many targets there are, other than a bunch. Probably 20-30 I'd guess??


Haven't shot my bow in 2 years.
Calendar is miraculously open for that weekend. I'd be interested in the 3D shoot as well.

back to the OP - I have never bow hunted, YET so I am no use at this time   Hope you find some good guys/gals to hunt with
I'm going to hold you to going. I'll pick you up if you want.

Thanks Jackelope.
I'm in for the shoot and a bite to eat afterwards if anyone else is in.  I'm pretty flexible, so either day works.

Hi guys,

I'm a little south of you (Lake Forest Park), but would be interested in a meet-up of some sort at the shoot.

Why don't we start at the 3D shoot in Granite Falls?  That is, unless someone want's to get together beforehand for a bit to eat and trading stories.
Yankee, are you from the NE?

Yep, born and raised in New Hampshire.  I've been living out west (Utah and then WA) since '96.

Hey Scott- I've got a membership to Kenmore and shoot there regularly.  Let me know if you'd like to hit the range some time.

I'm from PA.  Been in Washington for about 8 years. 
I've shot a Kenmore a few times.  Very nice facilities and very safety conscious.

Frank,
Thanks for bumping this thread!  I think some posters were planning on going to the 3D shoot at Granite Falls next weekend, but it's been a while since anyone posted on this thread, so I'm not sure what the plan is at this point. 

Is anyone still keeping tabs on this thread going to the Granite Falls shoot next week?  If so, what day and time?  Perhaps a bunch of us can still meet and grab a bite to eat after shooting.

I'll have to get my bow out and adjust my sights for field points and do a little practicing.

Dave

I think it got changed to only Sunday. I'm planning on going although I haven't shot my bow in probably a year. Not even sure I should go but I'm sure it'll be fine.
