Whidbey Island Jan-Mar flyer 3D shoots

[Button Nubbs]

Oh and bring your binos so you can see the scoring rings

[NWWABOWHNTR]

We will be using the 10/8/5 scoring.  10 for the inside ring, 8 for the outer ring and 5 anywhere on the animal.  If you are new to 3D come on out and have fun.  If you do want to use your range finder just keep the ranges to yourself,  and just tell anyone who asks you are just shooting for fun.  Our Saturdays scores do not count for trophies anyway, it is just a way to flight competitors with equivalent shooters on Sunday.  If you are not sure about the scoring rings you can google rinehart targets and find where the scoring rings are,  binos are a good idea to see the rings.  Distances will be for the most part in the 30-45 yard ranges with a couple of exceptions of a few larger targets stretched out to 50 or so,  and a couple of small targets a tad bit closer.  THat is for adult compound shooters anyway.  Trad and youth will not be past 40 (most shorter) and cub nothing farther than 17 yards, most in the 10-15 yard range.  We have red stakes for adult compound, blue for youth and trad,  and yellow stakes for cubs (under 12).  Must shoot both days for trophies, all cub competitors on Sunday will "medal".  Saturday is a casual start anytime from 8 AM to 2Pm and Sunday shooters meeting at 8:30 and shotgun start at 9AM.  We will have breakfast each day (biscuits and gravy) and lunch will be chili, hot dogs, chips,  these are available for a small price.  Looks like the weather is going to cooperate, and we will have a lot of fun.  Practice range from 20-80 yards will be open at 7 AM until dusk.

here are some examples of the scoring rings you can find on the internet,  rinehart targets.

Do you guys have all Rinehart targets now.

[NWWABOWHNTR]

WE will have 25 or 26 out this weekend.  We just ordered 6 more so by March we will have 32.  Our goal is to get to 100% rinehart.  The ones that aren't are still in real good shape,  the delta and mckenzies.  THose are the leaning bear, buffalo, caribou, walking bear, bull lek and cinnamon bear.  Last year we ordered 10 new rineharts and new inserts for all our others.  Out of the non-rineharts the only one I don't like is the big bull elk (Mckenzie) because it is so hard to get arrows out of, if you don't lube your arrows.  SO the coourse will be a 32 target setup for both days.  WIth 1-2 challenge shots if you want the extra points... hahahaha

Oh forgot to add,  gates will be open today for those wanting to come up and camp the night before, 3D course will be closed but practice area 20-80 will be open. 

[D-Rock425]

Good shoot today.  I shot pretty good besides a few fives and a 0

[NWWABOWHNTR]

Like to say thanks to all who showed up,  weather held out for the most part... some good shooting and lots of fun!

WHidbey will be hosting its 2nd shoot of the year, Feb 26/27.  Saturday will be a 32 target course with a casual start from 8-2.  Sunday will be a shotgun start at 9 with shooters meeting for target assignments at 8:30.  Sunday is also the 2nd leg of the Buckle shoot.  You don't need to be in the buckle shoot to participate in our Feb 3D.  Sunday will be a 30 target 3D shoot.  See the flyer in the 1st post of this thread.

should be fun.  I dont know what to do this weekend without any shoots close by

[ridgefire]

just kinda curious why you get five instead of getting a zero or subtracting five for hitting the animal

[D-Rock425]

the goal is to shoot all tens but sometimes you make a bad shot.

[ridgefire]

should the bad shot then be a negative instead of a positive then

[D-Rock425]

should the bad shot then be a negative instead of a positive then

maybe but its not how they score them in 3-D shoots.

[pips4bucks]

should the bad shot then be a negative instead of a positive then

Typical scoring at 3D shoots scores 10/8/5.  There's a shoot at a club in Canada where they score 10/8/-5.  I'll tell you... you don't want to get too many of those -5's!
