Title: Tacoma Sportsmen's Club. Wire Shoot 3D
Post by: bowpredator on June 19, 2014, 12:46:18 PM: Are you ready for the challenge, The Ultimate Hunting Challenge that is. Tacoma Sportsmen's Club will be having the 5th Annual WIRE SHOOT 3D on August 9/10,2014. This is a 2 day shoot with 30 targets each day. This shoot is a warm up for hunting season. The targets will be set up to mimic actual hunting conditions and shot placement. There will be a small nail with a length of wire attached to it placed in the correct shot placement. When you spin the wire on the nail and it touches the arrow that will be +10 points, if the wire does not touch the arrow it is -10 points. There may be some shots that you may want to pass on, but that is up to you. There will be door prizes and awards on Sunday. Camping is free as usual. See you there.

Rog(bowpredator)covered the basics already. Great shoot and super practice for hunting.

Ohhhhhhh totally understand it now.. I don't know why, but I had gotten like 10 different descriptions of how it worked and everyone said something different... but a few kept saying "you spin the wire with the arrow" so all I'm thinking in my mind is I have to hit some wire and make it spin on impact :chuckle:

So on the facebook page, it says rangefinders are allowed for this realistic shoot, correct?

BTW, awesome drawing :tup:

Post by: Stick em on June 21, 2014, 08:48:16 AM: We'll be there. Went last year & it was really fun. The wire follows the curve of the animal so the angle of the arrow is really important.

Post by: sakoshooter on June 22, 2014, 12:24:58 AM: The wires were way too short last year. They need to extend about 1" past the animal, LOL.
Rog, I don't remember rangefinders being allowed last year?
