Joebuck, this is for you.
I got back from Tenn this morning from the IBO trad World shoot. Great time. Awsome venue. nicest folks I ever been around.
All that said, I had the pleasure of watching the best tradbow shooter Ive ever seen . On video or in person. His name is Ryan Ramsey and he's from Ok. Shoots a 3 pc longbow and did some impressive shooting. As my buddy from AR, Danny Clark said, "It's fun watching a guy that can't shoot out of the ten ring".
He won the Hunter Challenge shoot off against a great shooter from IL. The guy from IL had only 3 8's for the 25 total targets he had to shoot. Ryan won by 6 pts. In my mind that is impressive. He also won the modern longbow IBO world crown with a score of 388 on 40 targets. Thats 12pts down. or 6 8's. He shot 3 under with a high anchor and paused for a sec or two at anchor.
Actually everyone that I saw shooting in the shootdown shot 3 under and paused at ancohor for a sec or two.
I love Howard Hill and Fred Bear and all the greats, but In my opinion, The old boy from OK Would take them to school on a 3D course.
Before I get stoned by the leg hummpers, I did'nt say he was a better hunter, only a better shot.
Ok here we go. Don Batten 252 636 7665 .
Thanks for sharing Don, there are lots of good shots out there and good hunters too. :thumbsup:
I doubt you are gonna get stoned. . . well. least not by no leg hummpers. It is fun to watch a true master of any sport or endeavor.
Thanks

Wow, it is enlightening to know how well the best shots at this tournament scored. I was planning to attend but had to do it all on Saturday and didn't want the 8-hour drive (round trip). Thanks for the report.
I called that number and it's Dial-a- Prayer! Whatsamatta Don u scared?
I watched the Video of the shoot off in the Hunter's challenge, He was tearing the 12 Ring up!! But I guess it only counts as 10.
All Three Guy's in the shoot off were pretty amazing.
Rob..
There's nothing wrong with stating your opinion. Sounds to me like you witnessed some awesome shooting. If he took first place, obviously no one there can argue the point.
Thanks for the info. I like the details with the length of holding and the 3 fingers under. Good job on noticing.
OK, what kind of bow did he shoot? If I buy one, could I shoot like him? :goldtooth:
Thanks for sharing Don!
I shot with him at the indoor nationals in kentucky this year and he got 11th there
a leg humper im not and if i tried to throw a rock at ya id only hurt my computer
ive just recently got into 3d and love it wish i coulda seen that sounds like a good time how did you shoot
:campfire: :clapper: :archer2:
He told me what the bow was but it did'nt ring a bell. It was a 3 pc longbow with a small riser and had a thumb rest on the left side, kinda like a shrew.
Marty, sorry ,I was on the phone with Joey. He was on the 3D range practicing to come up next year and school this old boy. I don't see it happening.
