Would love to go but work is busy this time of year. Take some pic's for us!

-
Hoping like hell to make it. Sounds like a great time.

I think Smokey might introduce grandson Quentin to it, making it his first tournament . I just came out of knee surgery so I won't be going...
-
I'll be there. Just got done registering online.
-
Starts tomorrow! :IBCOOL:
-
We had a great time! Some long waits between targets, but still fun! Took 7hrs to finish the 50 target African course! Love the rinehart targets, very easy to pull arrows.
-
Took us just over 5 to shoot the north american side.

:yeah:
caught up with a group of 8 on the 3rd target....if i lost as many arrows as they did every friggin shot I would take up a new hobby :bash:
-
LOVED THE COURSE,BUT REGISTRATION WAS 1HR 4MIN. FIRST AFRICAN TARGET WAIT WAS 1HR.13MIN THATS UNBELELIEVABLE.TOO MANY DOUBLE SHOTS,TOOK OUR GROUP OF 3 7HRS 37MIN TO FINISH.
-
Some cool pics. Glad you guys are having some fun.
-
A little disappointed. Had fun but with the price of the shoot if a target is broken put something else in its place. There is no reason to have just the mid section of an animal for the target. I was also disappointed that alot of the targets they had new inserts for did not match the rest of the target. With the price of the shoot i think they can do a little more prep. I know this is petty but im not the only one who felt this way.

I feel the same about some of the targets. For the price, the targets should have been new or newer. A couple were so shot up on the N American side it was actually hard to see the scoring rings. I went there with intentions of spending the night but with those loooong wait times at EVERY target, I came home Sat evening.
-
We had problems with targets on safari side too on Sunday. The insert really sucked :bash: especially when they had extra targets to put in its place. Then we were almost blowing through targets on Sunday. Couldn't see any rings but I'll see you all next year :tup:
-
I have a question about one of the targets. The one on the african course just before the zebra and tiger double, what was that? It looked like a foam rock to me.
The one in the background.
-
Looked to be an insert from another target, thought that was pretty crappy. I mean even the club could have provided something else to put in its place.
-
It looked like an insert to me also. I think $50 was a little much for what I got. If I had to choose a shoot between it at say bownanza id take bownanza every time. I'll still shoot it next year but its not as good as people make it sound.

My Nephew went....is this good?
-
Some cool pics. Don't think I could handle the time it took to shoot the course.

its a good time. Probably worth it.
-
1000 pin was my goal but I sucked all weekend. One guy in my group shot a 511 on Sunday and missed his 1000 pin by 3 points :bash:
-
My goal for next year is to shoot 1000.
-
Nephew said he took 4th on the N America course.
-
I think north american side was tougher than safari side.
-
My nephew has really gone crazy with the archery hunting hobby the last few years. He has more archery gizmos than I knew existed! :chuckle: He has his kids shooting as well.
-
Pretty cool targets. The bongo is cool.

As far as I know, you're supposed to stand behind the stake.

Im with you i will still go back next year! We still had a blast Even though the Iron Amos was the last time i was able to shoot before last weekend. If I started off Saturday the way I finished sunday one of those pins would have been mine!
-
I going to throw this question out there, if the Rinehart was to be held at another club here in western Washington , which club would you like it to be held at and why?
-
I did manage to stick the apple dead center off the deer's nose. Another in our party shot a leaf off the apple and it stayed on her arrow as it stuck in the hay.

As long as your touching the stake it doesn't matter where you stand.

only a couple places big enough to hold it.

TSC its big enough for a 100 target course they put on great shoots and its closer to home!
-
Probably wouldn't have all the double targets too. That would sure turn into a pissing match between clubs if someone tried to get it moved.

I am just wondering why all of you think the shoot had so many problems. I don't know if any of you have ever tried to put on a shoot like that but it takes a lot of work to make it happen. The one thing you do not know is how many shooters are going to show up, if I remember they get around 500 shooters, This is one reason for longer lines at the targets, when it comes to the registration lines, if you were to preregister it would of gone a lot faster again lots of shooters registering all at once makes for longer lines. The bad targets well that part sucks, but the hosting club is not allowed to use there targets. I know that the Rinhart targets get a lot of arrows in them over the life of the tour. Capitol City puts on some of the best shoots in the state, its located centrally between Seattle and Portland, they have lots of camping area and parking. The crew that runs the club has been putting on shoots for a long time and they do know what they are doing. It was sad to see all the bashing of the shoot, when they work so hard to put on a shoot like this for all of us.
-
Not trying to bash any club or one person. We have all said the shoot was good and we'd most likely all be back.
-
Here are some VERY limiting factors of hosting the R100. The location would have to have 100 different shotting target areas, with with safety requires LOTS of land. The club would need to have plenty of camping available, and last but not least A HUGE ammount of club support to set up then run one of these events. I have set up and run some decent sized 3d shoots but nothing that big. It requires a LOT of time and dedication.
I can think of a couple other locations that could physically hold the shoot, however they likely do not have the manpower to do so. They also don't have as central of a location for the shoot. :twocents:
If you look at the schedual you will see that we are the only real western state that has this event... So placing it between 2 large metro areas Portland and Seattle/tacoma is pretty smart on thier part...

If you read the application for clubs to host it 3 important questions are
1 Can you park 300 cars?
2 What are the 3 biggest cities near you?
3 What is the biggest event you have held?
These 3 things IMO say alot about your club and your experience.
I would LOVE to host such a bad ass shoot at Silver Arrow Bowmen. Unfortuantly we do not have the facilites or the location to make it happen. We had 135 people on the course for a shoot this year and it was a LOT of work to keep it up and going. I can't imagine 3x that number. :twocents:
