3D Season is Here.

[DonBo]

Shooting my first 3D of the year this Sunday at New Richmond, WI. Anyone interested in shooting outdoors this weekend? Sounds like it's gonna be nice.

[DonBo]

Was not able to make the shoot at New Richmond last weekend, but will shoot at Chilakoot this Sunday.

[DonBo]

Shot pretty good at Chilakoot today. 275 of 300, really only two bad shots. Finished just before the snow.

[DonBo]

Osceola, WI this Sunday, as long as the weather's decent.

[Cheetah]

Posting those scores Don is only going to make me not show up, don't want to get my butt kicked so bad.

I've got all the Chilakoot shoots on my calendar, hopefully can make the March shoot.

[DonBo]

The shoot was pretty easy. Good scores aren't that difficult when most all targets were 20-30 yards. They'll stretch out when (if) the snow starts to melt.

[DonBo]

Not much of a showing in Osceola today, maybe 50 shooters. Shot a 278, pretty good considering the conditions.

It was pretty obvious that the "rod and gun" portion of the club set up the shots and not their archery guys. Lots of brush in the way, and a couple of really long shots considering all the snow on the ground. Still, a fun shoot.

Probably heading up to Amery, WI next Sunday. Just let me know if anyone else is interested.

[DonBo]

Got a pretty good group shooting in Amery, WI on Sunday. Amery is part of the Indianhead Archery League cosisting of 10 clubs in the west central WI area.

Should be able to find a shoot every weekend between now and bow opener in September.

Don, is there a source that lists 3d shoots & dates around the state? Maybe we can try posting some links and get the word out and get some folks together at some of these shoots. I know, I'd be interested in the upcoming weeks.

[DonBo]

The link above is for most of the clubs that I shoot.

The Minnesota State Archery Association (MSAA) has a list of it's members shoots, though most of these are target shoots:

I don't know of any other venues that publish public shoot information. There certainly are lots of other smaller clubs around the state that host 3D shoots, maybe everyone should just start posting the ones they know about on this thread.

A group of us went to the Rinehart 100 Shoot in Sparta, WI last year, camped out with hundreds of other archers from around the country and had an absolute blast. This will DEFINETLY be on my calander again this summer:

Here's a couple shots from the Rinehart 100:

[sticknstring]

I remember that R100 from last year - now that looks like a blast -need to make that one for sure. This is what I shoot at in the backyard - gets quite a few strange looks and calls from the city. Might have to go back to my GlenDel.

[DonBo]

There ya go. Sounds like an HSO Archery GTG in Sparta this summer. July 30-31. Lets see if we can get some folks together for a fun camping/shooting weekend!

[deerhunter]

My son and I are planning on going to Sparta this year. He is 9 I think he will love it. We go to shoots all summer long 3Dshoots dot com is where I look a lot and other places Lester Praire puts on a real good shoot I just looked at a schedule that included places that are not at the MSAA HSOforum like St.Peter has one too and Waterville

Awesome pics above.

Feel free to post up the shoots you guys will be attending.

[DonBo]

Was a great day in Amery yesterday. Shot a 290, my best yet! Had a good size group again. Amery has always put on a nice shoot, but I wish these clubs would post scores. It's always nice to see how you stack up against other shooters.

[DonBo]

Think I'm heading out to Prairie Farm, WI on Sunday....

[tunrevir]

Wow! Congrats on the 290! That is some serious shooting. A few guys from Flake and I are going to try and do the March 20th shoot at Chilakoot. Might have a few youngsters along as well:)

This Sunday, the 20th, Chilakoot Bowhunters. 5 miles NE of Stillwater on Wisconsin Hwy 35. Take the Business 64 / County VV Somerset exit. Watch for signs.

This is my home course, and I may be biased a bit, but we put on one of the best 3D shoots around. Many new Rinehart targets, and realistic hunting shots.

What's the cost Don? If I can get sighted in this weekend, I may try to make it out there. It was pretty windy last night and after losing one arrow at 60, I decided it call it a night!

$10, kids are always free. We have a nice practice range there, with marked yardages out to 50 yards. (You shouldn't need a 60 pin)

Breakfast at my house!

[sticknstring]

I need the 60 so I can get the right tape on my HHA DS. I sure do love that .010 pin so far. I'll keep you updated - should be some great practice before my trip. Love the new avatar!

Calling for rain Sunday. It's going to be a gametime decision. I've got a group ready to go if the weather cooperates.

[DonBo]

The rain could put a damper on things. It sounds like they're backing off on it a bit now, we'll see. If it is raining, I'll be there anyway, just shooting indoors, which is a nice option.

[DonBo]

The rain held off for most of the day. Those who registered by noon stayed pretty dry. Still had over 150 shooters, which was pretty good considering the forecast.

Our next shoot is April 17th, put it on your calender now, it's always our biggest and best shoot of the year.
