It starts at like noon on Friday and you can shoot as long as its light out fri and sat. Ends at noon on Sunday. It's a blast. Typical ranges are 20 to 30 yards. 45 targets. Definately recommend it

Did ya intentionally not tell him about the rocks? :chuckle:

The goal is to have the courses ready to shoot by sunrise on Friday...depends on how much help shows up Thursday...

The Rock Shoot is what has been dubbed a "Shoot until your arm falls off" kind of shoot. No start and stop times. Just freely go shoot as many rounds as your shoulder can handle...or until you've busted all your arrows. No problem with shooting from behind or in front of the shooting stake either, just so you are in the same line so that arrows end up where they are supposed to if you should happen to miss the foam.

Two arrow shot at the same time off the skip shot....
Not sure what's up with the kilt, but don't walk behind a guy in a kilt going uphilll...LOL
Title: Re: TBW Traditional Rock Shoot 13-15th of April
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on April 16, 2012, 02:13:32 PM: Some more... and thanks to Dale, Rick, Gene and everyone who helped setup this great shoot. Guess god willing that I am around next year I will get over there on Thursday and help setup.

You will do some hill climbing....
Title: Re: TBW Traditional Rock Shoot 13-15th of April
Post by: Snapshot on April 16, 2012, 02:36:31 PM: Ren, the skip shot alone was crazy enough but you choose to nock TWO arrows! Great photo!!!

About the kilt: That guy has worn one at every shoot I've seen him at, and shame on you for looking up one's skirt! Seriously, I think a kilt-only trad shoot ought to be considered. I'd get me one for such an occasion.

Post by: Snapshot on April 16, 2012, 02:40:05 PM: Rick and family (wife Debby and daughter Jami) deserve most of the credit for the outcome of the shoot. Yes, some of us others pitched in and helped when and where we could, but Rick's family pulled out all the stops to make sure that everyone had a good time.
Title: Re: TBW Traditional Rock Shoot 13-15th of April
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on April 16, 2012, 02:40:51 PM: Shawn is a great guy, even in the kilt! He didn't wear one to our Feb shoot up here at Whidbey... might have been the cold?

Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 16, 2012, 05:16:17 PM: The widow came today. It has taken my mind off my custom bow build, well at least for a couple minutes.

This widow was the one I was waiting for! What a great bow! Hell of a nice guy from trag gang sold it to me and gave me a great price! The bow new was just shy of 1400.00 :yike: Does not even have a mark on it! The wife might yell at me when I climb into bed with it tonight. After a few days it will get moved to the bow rack. I have a feeling the custom will have a permanent place on my pillow with me :chuckle:

Post by: 3Under on April 16, 2012, 08:54:44 PM: Had a great time at the shoot last weekend, and even managed to come home with a few arrows still intact. Already looking forward to next year.
