Thanks for the extra info and map NWW.  If I pay $20 instead of $10 can I shoot double the arrows?  I'm just trying to avoid last place!  :chuckle:

LOL  Now that is the spirit!  Who cares about the score anyway... come out and have fun.  That is whats great about 3D at the club level... its more about having fun and enjoying the day with friends. 

Let-it-fly..... I may have a few bows for sale if you are interested.  Depends what you are looking for.  Sucks for me is I tore a deltoid muscle and am not sure when I will be shooting again....  :bash:  At least it was the left shoulder,  so hopefully it won't be to long a recovery,  I am already cheating shooting a 32# bow for indoors.  Just not ready for any 3D yet.

Wow league doesn't start til tomorrow and already spewin excuses.  :'(

LOL... I don't need no stinkin excuses... just hope I can get this shoulder back to normal soon.  People who need excuses use training wheels....

I think there was 110 shooters  on Sat.. they had to throw in an extra line at the end of the night...Last night we had to glue up some extra targets for today...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Of course!  If you only shoot one day is fine,  just for trophies you have to shoot both days.

Planning to come up on Saturday and will be a 3D First Timer.    Main goal is to just get out shoot, have fun, and try not to lose many arrows.  Any suggestions/advice?

Range estimation is what hurts my score more than anything else. :twocents:

Well, if you don't care about the competition and just want to "fun shoot" (and aren't walking around with someone that is competing) you can use your range finder.  This will go a long way towards not losing any arrows.  Just as an aside, the 12/10 ring isn't always where I would prefer to shoot an animal.  So you can either bring a pair of binos and find the 12/10 ring (depends on how the scoring works for that particular shoot) or just shoot it where you would if you were hunting and don't worry about the score.

This obviously disqualifies you from competition but if you're just there for fun it does't matter.  DON'T say the range out loud or around competitors, though.  Otherwise, if you don't want to risk it, skip the steel targets or other tricky shots.  Have fun - if you're a new 3d shooter just go buy some less expensive arrows and resign yourself to the fact that you'll lose a few.  No big deal - it's worth it for the great practice.  You'll eventually want to stop using the range finder as you get better with the 3d shoots. 

If you do use your range finder, under no circumstances should you try to submit your score card.  Probably a good way to find out just how good of a shot some of those guys are.   :chuckle:
