Badlands Shoot

[Kt29]

Last weekend I went out with my buddy Russ to the Badlands Archery shoot in Western North Dakota. What an awesome setting and well as a challenging shoot all in its self. This shoot is not for the faint of heart. The pics don't tell the story at all. Just making it between targets is a challenge in itself. It took me better than three hours just to walk the 40 target course. Going downhill, in a lot of cases, is equally as hard as trying to go straight up which is also the case on alot of targets. This is considered an extreme shoot. Some targets are out past 70 yards. Some in rock cliffs, some on top of hills etc. The prospect of leaving with all your arrows is very slim. People just love this shoot and you can see why if you ever get the oppurtunity to shoot it. There is even a course for the kids. The pink panther is there first target. Here a few pics from that shoot.
P.S. Not sure what the problem is with some pics not enlarging.

Terry those are beautiful pictures of an awesome 3D shoot, I would love to go through that course. Probably would need to take out a loan for new arrows but that is REAL practice right there and EXERCISE too.
I attend one near me in Iowa on the bluffs of the Des Moines River and it is challenging to walk up and down but nothing like the one you have shown.
Used to go to a lot of shoots, many perfect scores were turned in(not me) at some of them, they did not have that REAL FEEL to them so I quit going. My thoughts are , a perfect score on easy targets mean nothing to that trophy buck we will try to take this fall.
Thanks for the pics, they are great.
