My buddy Rusty will not tell ya but I will. He's been shooting a bunch of bullseye this year and practicing hard. Well he got the silver medal at the national championships last weekend in the senior barebow recurve class.
I'm so proud of the ol' geezer.

Thanks for the kind words. I had the above pic taking just to keep my humble. Ya see that guy on the right. That is Skip the gold medalist. He is 5 time national champion, hold seveal World titles, hold hands full of records in Barebow recurve.
We could have added mine and your scores together and we would still have come in second. :)
rusty

Rutsy...you da man !!!

JC - I don't want to get too far out of the bowhunting genera, since it was a bulls eye shoot but quickly. The shoot was the NAFA 2007 Nationals shot at the Buffalo Field in Houston. It was shoot under the IFAA rules. 28 feild target(112 shots) and 28 animal targets (possible 84 shots) animal round is shot at 2D targets 20 pt kill and 18 pt wound on first arrow (legs, ears etc are marked out)subquent arrows points are reduced.

Skip and the geezer heads up on the hunter round
Sunday 28 hunter targets. black taget with white bull shoot at odd distances like 11, 16, 63, 68 yds. 112 shots
field and hunter rounds are score 5, 4, 3. at each hunter/field target 4 srrows are shot.
I shot a Bernardini 21" Cobra riser with Samick Extreme limbs 42#@28". Redline 600 arrows.
Sunday I had the absolute pleasrue of shooting heads up with Skip. Boy was that a lesson. ON the 70 yds walk up Skip shot an 18 (70 yd, 68 yd, 63 yds, 61 yds as I remember), It was a thing of beauty. that is 3 arrows in a 5" dot at that distance (and one flyer out into the 4 ring :)
Thanks for letting me hijack the forum for a few minutes. If you think you are a good shot, have a go at the field course sometime. Some of 'em target boyz will show ya ya ain't just another pertty face :)
rusty
BTW Skip set a new National Record for Veteran Barebow Recurve (VBBR) at the shoot.....and I was there to watch in some amont of awe :)
rusty
Congratulations Rusty! Those field shoots are not just a walk in the park. Glad you shot well and got to enjoy it.
Bobby

Chort
WOW Congrats Rusty. :clapper:
Rsuty, you're my hero!
(This guy can do anything archery, make a bendy-handle bow, make the bendy-handle bow make meat, make the fancy bow get high scores!)
Could you tone down the grin, though? Like to blind me with them flashy toofusses.

Wow - just plain, WOW!!!
