Im hitting about 29 there. Chuck makes a great bow and that Ambush flat shoots an arrow, a very fast, compact machine!

That was from our CO trip a few years ago. I set my camera on a tripod and had it set to shoot 8 frames per second and triggered it with a remote. I shot high ISO so that I could get a better depth of field.

He basically drew and shot while the camera was firing. Focus was set to manual a few feet in front of the bow..

That little guy WAS at the Pope & Young shoot in Brownsville Or. 2 years ago, and is one of my favorite kids photos of all time. He was only 2 years old there. Believe it or not, he was really flinging those arrows out there too. :scared:

What arrow!?

I had to go back and look at TJ shooting. Wow, that is one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen!

I'm betting there was no tripod though. I'm thinking Joe just convinced TJ that he (Joe) didn't really need a left ear.

Great Pics All!!! Very Motivating!!!

Here are a couple pics my wife took of the Dryad Orion at full draw during the Cupertino and San Francisco trad shoots this past weekend...

(http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/Christmas2011168.jpg)
(http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/Christmas2011177.jpg)

This is my first 3D shoot in about 6 years. I had soo much fun, I will now forever regret missing out on the shoots I missed. The good news is that the downtime let me lose some of my bad habits and I started shooting with a better anchor and release a few months ago. I posted my best score ever and came in around 4th or 5th at the SF shoot.
The biggest bummer of the weekend was when the battery died in the camera. The only pics I have of the rest of our group are "post-loose" shots.

Thanks for the great forum!
