Title: Re: 3D archery shoot
Post by: BoomWhop on December 02, 2012, 10:11:45 PM: My son and I just bought bows and would love to give it a go. But we are complete rookies. Is it OK to miss big, are range finders acceptable? Just don't want to start off on the wrong foot.
Title: Re: 3D archery shoot
Post by: jackelope on December 03, 2012, 09:06:17 AM: Pretty sure it's a fun shoot so rangefinders are ok.

Post by: Special T on January 05, 2013, 05:27:28 PM: On the flyer it says that its $10 ea and $5 for kids w/ flat range fee. Does that mean the flat range is included? or is that extra?

Post by: h20hunter on January 08, 2013, 12:59:47 PM: That looks about close enough for me. Nice looking shooting lanes. I'll tell you though...pulling field points out of those rubber mats is enough to make you work on your shooting skills all by itself.

Worse than that is when your arrow goes through and tares the fetching off.
