Title: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: bowpredator on July 29, 2013, 09:17:50 PM: Hey All, Just a little reminder about the last 3-D shoot of the year at the Tacoma Sportsmen's Club. This is a get ready for HUNTING 3-D shoot. Unlike all our other 3-D's you can use you range finder at this shoot. The shots will all be hunting scenario shots you can choose to shoot the target or you may choose NOT to shoot the target, it up to you. The targets will be set up in hunting situations, there will be a little nail with a wire attached to it. You shoot the target, you go up to score the shot, if you spin the wire on the nail around and it touches your arrow then its (+10) points, if you spin the wire and it DOES NOT touch your arrow then it's (-10 points). You can choose NOT to shoot the target and it is a ( 0 ). Some of you might have seen the Shoot on the WSAA calender as August 10/11 but due to some Club calender issues we had to push it to August 17/18. Hope to see you there.

Post by: Rainier10 on August 05, 2013, 12:36:36 PM: After shooting the Hunters Dreams shoot this last weekend at GHB I am thinking about doing this one also. How many people usually shoot and what is a good time to show up to not get caught in a line at the course?
Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: bowpredator on August 06, 2013, 04:22:19 PM: Being that this is the first 2 day wire shoot we are having, my best guess will be 100-125 people. As usual the earlier you shoot the better. Or if you come in around 10 , that should put you at the tail end and it should start to thin out by the time you get 1/2 way through.

Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: bowpredator on August 09, 2013, 07:24:36 AM: Figured we would change it up a little to make it different.
Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: Rainier10 on August 09, 2013, 11:20:18 AM: Sweet trophies.

Bowhunter freestyle is anything goes for gear or are there restrictions on what you can have on your bow. My seven pin sight put in me out of bowhunter freestyle at GHB and into straight freestyle.

Post by: bowpredator on August 09, 2013, 02:55:28 PM: This shoot is not like a normal 3-d with all the limitations . You can have as many pins as you want or if you hunt with mover sight, it don't matter it will all be the same. Pretty much a compound class and a traditional class with male and female division in each. You can use rangefinders/bino's also.

Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: sakoshooter on August 18, 2013, 07:10:51 PM: Very tough shoot to say the least. I ended up with a 'positive' score and feel good about that. Never passed on a target. Very fun shoot and very challenging. Well run as usual.
Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: bowpredator on August 18, 2013, 07:21:04 PM: We had 72 2 day shooters total and about 30 single day shooters. Being that it was our first 2 day wire shoot, we thought the turnout was pretty good. BIG THANKS to all who showed up to our shoots this year. With out your support we are not able to put these shoots on.
Title: Re: 3-D WIRE SHOOT August 17/18 Tacoma Sportsmens Club
Post by: Stick em on August 19, 2013, 10:51:03 AM: Had a great time, thanks to all who put this on. This was different than any shoot this year. Great way to end the practice season and get into hunting mode. We passed on a few targets but shot most of them. The best thing about this shoot was that you really had to visualize the back of the target and the angle of your arrow through the kill zone. We ended with a -10 and -30 and felt pretty good about it. Heck, alot of the shots were through bushes and tree limbs. Very realistic situations, not ideal situations. Can't wait for next year. :tup:

Post by: bowpredator on August 19, 2013, 04:52:12 PM: Thanks, we may push it back to the end of July next year to get a better turn out. A lot of people are out bear hunting, camping with their families and scouting for upcoming deer/elk season and were not able to make it. The next shoot will be the FROZEN FLETCH in January so be prepaired for some cold weather shooting.
