Shoot the winter league they said, it will be fun they said...second week in a row with gusts over 50mph and heavy snow to boot. It didn’t seem to bother the@sodfather though he shot like a boss!

Brave souls.....the southern tier league was scheduled to shoot at Evans rod and gun club today.....can't believe they got more than 10 shooters.....it was brutal out this way with wind and blowing snow. It really didn't pile up much....was just blowing like heck.

We had a good turnout, years past you had to shoot by week three (today) to get rostered. This year its week four but Im not sure everyone knew that. IMO anyone that didnt shoot last week or today gets an asterisk! lol

I have to wait until April here n CNY for the first 3d shoot of the year. But i shot twice in the Techno league so far,that is fun as well. But i prefer 3d.

I’ll wait for a nice Sunday before I join you as a walk on. I’m doing this for fun and the last 2 weekends would not have been fun.

@The_Real_TCIII is the northern league known distance?

[NFA-ADK]

We start in 2 weeks but our weather is much nicer to shoot in!  I shot Sunday(Pancake breakfast fun shoot.) and got lucky with a first place pin I tied with one other user, no shoot off for first they just gave out 2 first place pins.  Those high winds make it much harder to aim!!!  Even worse when your eyes tear up and you can't see the  target!  All in good fun!  My highlight of the day was a 95 yard hit on the a bear and a 100 yard hit just above the X.  I use an arrow with one vane just in case I missed I would not loose a good one.  Lucky shot!  My buddy also put one in at 100 yards his is the green vane.  Called it day after that shot!

Trenton, Richfield and Gilbertsville are my three favorites but I've still got a couple left to try.

Excellent shooting! I agree the eyes tearing up is a bigger problem for me than the wind

[Swamp_bucks]

Nice shooting.  Im hoping to hit up Gilbertsville and Oxford this year.  Oxford has 2 different courses never been to Gilbertsville and its only 10mins away.

Shot walk on at Glen-Coe today in the southern 3d league. Conditions weren't too bad....and a good time was had by most.

2nd pic is my Dad.....still shooting well at 73 yrs. Young. Both targets were pushing 31 yards.

Was a packed course today at Wood & Brook. 15 targets nearly took 2.5 hrs . I didn’t shoot great with a score of 132 but managed to pinwheel this target at 36 yards . Ended the course with a hot bowl of moose chili

What bow is your son shooting?  I'd love to pick one up for my daughter this year.

That's a Matthew's genesis mini. Its smaller than regular genesis. It fits whisker biscuit, sight ,etc. It's not cheap, but it will go through a few kids and is very adjustable. My son is 4 and shoots it no problem. My daughter is 6 and still shoots it, but I'd guess she would be ready for the genesis in a year or two.

Did a little pre-winter league shoot prep at Suffolk Archers Sunday.  Had a toy from one of my old Happy meals we tried to take out at 80 yards.  Was a bit hard to see it at that distance on a gray backstop and none of us hit it at 80 yards so we lowered it down to 60 yards.  No one hit on the first try, myself and Hector had a near hit just under the belly and touching but no impact.  3rd set of 3 arrows, my first arrow hit the mark with a head shot!  Most of us shot ok but no one shot really good.  Holding my form good but need to keep my follow through!  My arrows have the green and white knocks, Hector is red.  That transformer is dead! 

Next will be Darth Vader at 80 yards again!  He should be easier to see as he is black and we have a white target but!  Looking forward to the winter shoot and food most of all!

@sodfather told me I had to shoot a 143 today and not disrespect the new Ritual 35. I had 132 through 14, put in a gentleman’s super kill 11 on Target 15 leaving all sorts of room for @jeremyk to join me in the x ring and complete a perfectly pleasant shoot among friends. NOPE, he pounded my arrow and literally moved it out of the x leaving me with a 142 It was an awkward walk back to the clubhouse.
