way to go Rutsty!! You guys have a big shoot this weekend right? I would like to wish all of you guys out that way good luck and I wish I could make it out to shoot with ya

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.

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

(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.
