Went to my first 3-D shoot/disaster - 05/06/21
So I quit bow hunting in 1972 and took shooting a bow up again two years ago. Our local club had a 3-D shoot and I thought I'd give it a try, OH BOY what a learning experience. In the 16years I hunted with a bow I never took over a 30 yard shot at a deer. Most of the shots were 40-55 yards and way beyond what I ever even tried to practice at, amazing how far an arrow drops in just a few yards at that distance. Needles to say I shot over or under just about all of the targets out there. By the 17th stand I was frustrated and getting tired in the heat and forgot to knock an arrow and dryfired my bow and wrecked it. The guy at the bowshop went over it and I didn't break anything and he was able to restring it for me.
Even with all the frustration it was FUN and I'm looking forward to the next shoot and will spend a lot more time shooting the longer ranges before hand.
