What time does the shoot start on Saturday? I have never been to one and would definitely be interested in going. Also what kind of range are we looking at shooting?

It starts at like noon on Friday and you can shoot as long as its light out fri and sat. Ends at noon on Sunday. It's a blast. Typical ranges are 20 to 30 yards. 45 targets. Definately recommend it

Jake, see you and Jon over there, Don and I will be showing up around noon on Friday.... Anyone else thats over there if you stop by the 27 foot springdale trailer with a black Dodge 3500 parked by it, I'll buy ya a barley pop or whatever your fancy. It would be nice to put some faces to names on here.

I'll be driving a white 89 F 250, pulling a horse trailer and may be bringing a mule for someone coming from Vancover to test ride. I'll be there around noonish on Friday.

Did ya intentionally not tell him about the rocks?

The goal is to have the courses ready to shoot by sunrise on Friday...depends on how much help shows up Thursday...

The Rock Shoot is what has been dubbed a "Shoot until your arm falls off" kind of shoot. No start and stop times. Just freely go shoot as many rounds as your shoulder can handle...or until you've busted all your arrows. No problem with shooting from behind or in front of the shooting stake either, just so you are in the same line so that arrows end up where they are supposed to if you should happen to miss the foam.

Jake doesn't like to talk about the rocks... he has a few dozen arrows that are now toothpicks....
:-) Mine I salvaged into chopsticks.

I will be there Friday afternoon, bringing my son in law and grandson too.

. Does anyone know if the food vendor will be there this year? I remember some good burgers and coffee.

I was lucky if i got pieces big enough to considered toothpicks! I don't think we'll be there by noon but should still make it before dark, right about beer-thirty I bet

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2012, 07:12:02 PM »

Headed out at 8 AM, should get there by 12-1.... flinging arrows by 2!

Have fun guys! Wish I COULD JOIN YOU!

ribka · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2012, 07:36:52 AM »

I stopped by yesterday and shot a few courses with Machias. had a great time. Broke a few arrows.

Met a lot of very nice people. Really good turn out.

Machias · « **Reply #18 on:** April 15, 2012, 07:23:25 PM »

Had a great time, fantastic weather. Hats off to all the hard work that was put in to a great event. Lots of great targets. Just had a blast, will post some photos tomorrow.

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #19 on:** April 15, 2012, 09:39:48 PM »

I'd always thought it just rumor that Ren could shoot...

Two arrow shot at the same time off the skip shot....
Not sure what's up with the kilt, but don't walk behind a guy in a kilt going uphilll...LOL

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #25 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:13:32 PM »

Some more... and thanks to Dale, Rick, Gene and everyone who helped setup this great shoot. Guess god willing that I am around next year I will get over there on Thursday and help setup.

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #26 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:16:46 PM »

1st pic is a shout out for Bigfoot bows....
You will do some hill climbing....

Snapshot · « **Reply #27 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:36:31 PM »

Ren, the skip shot alone was crazy enough but you choose to nock TWO arrows! Great photo!!!

About the kilt: That guy has worn one at every shoot I've seen him at, and shame on you for looking up one's skirt! Seriously, I think a kilt-only trad shoot ought to be considered. I'd get me one for such an occasion.

Snapshot · « **Reply #28 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:40:05 PM »

Rick and family (wife Debby and daughter Jami) deserve most of the credit for the outcome of the shoot. Yes, some of us others pitched in and helped when and where we could, but Rick's family pulled out all the stops to make sure that everyone had a good time.

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #29 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:40:51 PM »

Shawn is a great guy, even in the kilt! He didn't wear one to our Feb shoot up here at Whidbey... might have been the cold?

Snapshot · « **Reply #30 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:41:37 PM »

Ren, isn't where you five were standing on that flat rock about where Tony killed the rattlesnake?

Put me down to help out next year, I'll be there early!

Heard there was some great numbers and the turn out was great! Wish I could have made it up that way. Thanks for the pics!!!!

NWW is that the splinter kat? "spelling" that bigfoot makes?

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #33 on:** April 16, 2012, 04:59:16 PM »

Carp... Yep that would be the Splinter Kat, its a twin (almost) to the Sapphire Hawk from Ernie. Kirk builds some nice bows.....

Cool that is what thought. Glad you like it

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 16, 2012, 05:16:17 PM »

The widow came today. It has taken my mind off my custom bow build, well at least for a couple minutes.

This widow was the one I was waiting for! What a great bow! Hell of a nice guy from trag gang sold it to me and gave me a great price! The bow new was just shy of 1400.00

Does not even have a mark on it! The wife might yell at me when I climb into bed with it tonight. After a few days it will get moved to the bow rack. I have a feeling the custom will have a permanent place on my pillow with me

Had a great time at the shoot last weekend, and even managed to come home with a few arrows still intact. Already looking forward to next year.

Not a lot of room for error here, lots of carnage.

Ah elk steaks

I've seen some good string slaps, but I think I was a bit harsh on my right arm this weekend.

Snapshot · « **Reply #40 on:** April 16, 2012, 11:13:33 PM »

Fred, I saw your arm on Sunday at the raffle/awards and thought you'd been bit by a Brown Recluse! Ouch.

I am pleased to have finally met you, and I'll see you down the trail.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 17, 2012, 12:13:53 AM »

Great pic's! That arm looks nasty fred! get some ice on that thing!

Nope, just poor form and bit by a Hawk!

quadrafire · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2012, 08:25:41 AM »

Dang Machias.
If the Hawks bite like that I don't know if I really want one.

Machias · « **Reply #44 on:** April 17, 2012, 08:28:18 AM »

Nope, not the Hawks fault, poor shooting form.

Special T · « **Reply #45 on:** April 17, 2012, 11:09:35 AM »

Shawn wore one with some fancy leather leggings and some curved tipped elf shoes to the the SAB shoot in Feb i think.
