Post by: iRem on January 11, 2013, 01:43:33 PM: I really want to hit at least one this year I live in the area but Saturday morning basketball and work are going to get in the way! Maybe I'll just go out and buy one!

Post by: Klyne3 on January 11, 2013, 01:46:08 PM: I haven't been to this in years and am considering going and taking the kid. Q

Quick question do the targets have backdrops? I would hate to have to order more arrows for his JOAD class if he looses any and it's still taking for ever to get stuff in from the supplier.

Post by: toe-jam on January 11, 2013, 01:47:09 PM: I cant shoot but may be I can get the wife to take me.

How old is the kid and what does he shoot. My boy is 4 and we have only lost a couple of his arrows due to the fact that his bow dosent have enough power to bury them!

Post by: Klyne3 on January 11, 2013, 05:58:32 PM: He's nine and shoots a Sammick Polaris Olympic Style Recurve. Hitting the target constantly is still a bit of a challenge sometimes.
Title: Re: Frozen Fletch 3-d at Tacoma Sportsmen this Sat
Post by: throttlejocky20 on January 11, 2013, 06:09:59 PM: I dont think there is to many kids shooting recurvs. Bring him out and let him shoot from where he's comfortable!

Post by: throttlejocky20 on January 12, 2013, 05:22:24 PM: Great shoot overall but just because its called the frozen fletch dosent mean everything has to be frozen. How many of the shooter went for the nock on the steel. I got the 30 points but they were expensive as my arrow didnt survive!

Post by: owmygulay on January 12, 2013, 06:15:35 PM: I went and shot a 244. It was my first time though. I have never tried to guess yardage like that before. Hopefully I will do a little better next time. I had a great time though. Love my Zippo hand warmer, got good use out of it today.

Post by: bowpredator on January 12, 2013, 07:11:47 PM: Throttle jockey are you Mr.Toso. This is Rodger who was who you shot with last weekend at Skookum and today taking pics at the steel target. Shoot me your e mail as I think I have some pics of you shooting. And pics of your kids with their trophy.

Post by: bowpredator on January 12, 2013, 08:36:45 PM: First of all for those of you that came and shot today THANK YOU! If it wasn't for you showing up at our shoots to support the Archery side of the club we wouldn't be able to put these shoots on for you. I hope you had a good time and the layout was to your satisfaction. On that note, are there any things that you would like us to change or improve on. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Feel free to email me at bowpredator2002@yahoo.com with any of your comments or ideas.

scoring a 244 at your first shoot is solid. Like you said its all about judging the yardage and the more shoots you go to the more accurate your eye gets!
