Title: Back from Moses Lake
Post by: Dick in Seattle on April 19, 2009, 12:52:00 PM
Pulled into the driveway at 10:30 last night... sun burnt, worn out and one tired but happy camper.    As usual, I went a day early and left on Saturday afternoon.   Place gets crowded on Saturday.   The event was HUGE this year.   I didn't hear a figure but I suspect they might hit 500 with families.    I took a lot of pictures and will build an album on my website today or tomorrow.   Got cleanup work to do... the van is plastered with a 1/4" of dust.

The big news for me though was Flapjack... that bow is fantastic!   The shoot seemed to have a longer average target distance this year... pretty short on realistic mid-range shots (IMHO), but Flappie and I took 'em from the stakes (or, in a few cases further) and made way more than our share of good hits.  Naturally, there were those targets on which I fell apart... always are... but overall, I'd have to say that this was clearly the best shooting I've ever done at a 3D.   I shot 9 courses in 2 1/2" days, at maybe 1 1/2 to 2 miles per course in very, very rough country.  Not too bad for an Old Phart who spent his life behind a desk!.  I probably did another 3 or 4 miles doing the required number of circuits around camp, checking out dealers and shooting the breeze with folks... tremendous number of dealers this year.  

Pix and a further report as soon as I can get it done.
