I've been practicing all year (but noth enough) my skill level was not up to hunting with the stick this year, hopefully if I shoot the 3d's this year I will be up to snuff for the 2011 season with the stick.
I found this year that shooting a longbow is not like riding a bike, you can forget! 20 years of shooting training wheels really lays on the rust for something you used to be able to do.

FYI... There is an additional cost if you wish to compete for a buckle.

THere is a new buckle shoot which is not on this particular flyer. That shoot is a combination of the 3 shoots at WHidbey in July, KBH archers in late July and Wapiti in August. Same format, SUnday scores from all 3 shoots.
Now the individual shoots are above and beyond the Buckle, each individual shoot is $10 a day, if you have a large family you max out at $43.
Whidbey Bowmens club can be found here (map attached):

Thanks for the extra info and map NWW. If I pay $20 instead of $10 can I shoot double the arrows? I'm just trying to avoid last place! :chuckle:

LOL Now that is the spirit! Who cares about the score anyway... come out and have fun. That is whats great about 3D at the club level... its more about having fun and enjoying the day with friends.
Let-it-fly..... I may have a few bows for sale if you are interested. Depends what you are looking for. Sucks for me is I tore a deltoid muscle and am not sure when I will be shooting again.... :bash: At least it was the left shoulder, so hopefully it won't be to long a recovery, I am already cheating shooting a 32# bow for indoors. Just not ready for any 3D yet.

Planning to come up on Saturday and will be a 3D First Timer. Main goal is to just get out shoot, have fun, and try not to lose many arrows. Any suggestions/advice?
Well, if you don't care about the competition and just want to "fun shoot" (and aren't walking around with someone that is competing) you can use your range finder. This will go a long way towards not losing any arrows. Just as an aside, the 12/10 ring isn't always where I would prefer to shoot an animal. So you can either bring a pair of binos and find the 12/10 ring (depends on how the scoring works for that particular shoot) or just shoot it where you would if you were hunting and don't worry about the score.
This obviously disqualifies you from competition but if you're just there for fun it does't matter. DON'T say the range out loud or around competitors, though. Otherwise, if you don't want to risk it, skip the steel targets or other tricky shots. Have fun - if you're a new 3d shooter just go buy some less expensive arrows and resign yourself to the fact that you'll lose a few. No big deal - it's worth it for the great practice. You'll eventually want to stop using the range finder as you get better with the 3d shoots.
If you do use your range finder, under no circumstances should you try to submit your score card. Probably a good way to find out just how good of a shot some of those guys are. :chuckle:

should the bad shot then be a negative instead of a positive then :dunno:maybe but its not how they score them in 3-D shoots.
Post by: pips4bucks on February 16, 2011, 09:28:18 PM

Typical scoring at 3D shoots scores 10/8/5. There's a shoot at a club in Canada where they score 10/8/-5. I'll tell you... you don't want to get too many of those -5's!
