Title: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: dmr400 on March 27, 2013, 01:26:09 PM: Hello All,

This will be my first 3-D season in Washington, and thought I would ask for opinions about other members favorite shoots? I use 3-D as a chance to just relax and enjoy shooting, and tune up for hunting. Not in it for scores or trophies.

I've been to a fair amount of shoots in Oregon and Northern California (loved the Yreka shoot!) and some are more fun than others, as it is everywhere. So which ones are "don't miss" for you?

I have only shot at skookum 3d shoots except for one on the east side this year. Great fun and practice for hunting.

Doug will be doing his weekly 3d course of 28 targets for 5 dollars starting April 11th going through the end of August.

There is also a safari shoot this Saturday at Skookum.

Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: D-Rock425 on March 28, 2013, 10:14:12 AM: Rhinehart 100 is a good shoot as well.
Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: sakoshooter on March 28, 2013, 11:32:24 AM: Any 3D shoot is a good time especially if you can scrounge up a couple of huntin buds to shoot it w/ya.
Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: D-Rock425 on March 28, 2013, 11:37:19 AM: Some shoots are just better than others. TSC shoots are always some of my favorite.

Post by: sakoshooter on March 29, 2013, 09:45:20 PM: D Rock, Who puts the Bownanza on and about when is it?
Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: dmr400 on March 29, 2013, 09:54:44 PM: I'm thinking about heading down to Capitol City Bowman's safari shoot next weekend...I'm guessing by the title it is african 3-d targets? The flyer says it's a 3-D shoot, when I first saw it I thought it was a regular safari shoot, I.E. paper targets with spots but if it's advertised as a 3-D...? :dunno:
Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: D-Rock425 on March 30, 2013, 07:24:29 PM: It the last full weekend in July.
Title: Re: Favorite 3-D shoots on the west side?
Post by: bowpredator on April 04, 2013, 04:22:58 PM: There are a lot of Great shoots here in the Puget Sound. Capitol City usually hosts the Rinehart shoot which is always a blast, Tacoma Sportsmens Club puts on 5-7 shoots a year with the IRON AMOS in June being there biggest shoot. Cedar River has the BONANZA which is their biggest shoot of the year and is a good one, Kitsap Archers over in Belfair also puts on good shoots. The Big Game warm up up in Kennmore is also a realy good shoot, but be prepared to hike up and down and it is usually warm. All the clubs around here put on pretty good shoots. Check out the WashingtoN State Archers Association web site for the complete calaner schedual.

D Rock, Who puts the Bownanza on and about when is it?

Cedar River Bowmen it's our biggest shoot of the year. I think we had around 10,000 in door prizes last year. It's in July. Check out our site for details.

Thanx Jkeen33. Might just have to see what's on the schedule then.
