One for the Archery Section

[Bow 1]

I think there would be some participation if you guys added a tournament section in archery. Mainly for 3D, as that is why most people got started in 3D was to become better hunters. After all, for example in one ASA shoot, you have a minimum 40 different life size actual animals you have to look at judge the yardage and make a kill shot on. So I think a section for Tournament or Target archery would be a good ad on. Just a place where most can post up shoots in there area, as well as where they can brag on their accomplishments. Anyhow just another thought as I am sure many at least go to local tournaments.

I used to do it when I was a lot younger down in Cincinnati. They were mainly 30 animal target shoots with extra running deer shoots & long range ground hog shoots as well. I took one 1st place in the recurve class out of 15 shooters with my Martin 65 lb takedown bow & it was funny because it was a PSE sponsored event... Best I ever did in the compound class was about 15th out of 40 archers and I placed 2nd in a Crossbow shoot out of 20 shooters one time and won a long range groundhog shoot with my crossbow. I'd take
them all in shoot in all the different events in the same day. I'm not near as competetive spirited as I was when I was younger! I'm happy just to go shoot at my own target & do well these days and then follow-up with some good kills on real deer!!!

And, to speak to the subject matter... I think it would be great to have a section for shoots! Folks could post when & where info, how well they did, pictures of the range & trophies!

Yes sir's It would be beneficial to this sight, as I firmly believe that practice makes perfect. I started shooting 3D to make me a better shot in the woods. I think every person that bow hunts should shoot as many as they can a year. Each shot you and only you have to size up the animal, guess the yardage and put one in the kill zone, you get a chance to analyze any mistakes and learn, to me that means a lot less wounded animals out there, and more meat in the freezer to feed the youngins. Weather you get addicted to the competition or just want to do it, I feel anyone hunting with a bow owes it to the animal to get out there and shoot some of them.

Tim you gonna have to make the time bud. It is another way to keep practicing all year long. It also builds on ArkDons post on confidence, the more of those you shoot the more confidence a archer will posses. Go shoot some guys.
