Another successful and fun grocery shoot at Shade Mt. Bowmen, Beavertown Pa. last night. I think there were 28 shooters in the traditional class, seemed about an even split with the hi-tech guys. Thanks to Craig (monkeyball) and his wife Lori for keeping things running smoothly. Great shoots and a great club with more stickbow shooters showing up all the time. Can't wait for the 3D season to start.
Any pics?
No, sorry. Where in Pa. are you?
Yeah, that was great fun! Somehow I ended up winning 5 of the 12 rounds...2 seconds and a 5th! My little 6 year old was having a blast as well...thanx monkeyball for you and Lori helping watch him while I shot. Anyone in close driving distance to Beavertown should check these out. see you guys there next time.....John
I know I am being thick, but what is a "grocery shoot" John?
Congrats John! Looks as if your on top those shooting skills w/ that fine lookin bow of yours. Mark and I will be down to visit one of these days before turkey. Jon
a grocery shoot is were. everybody shoots a target and the closet to the center wins the round or groceries.
Each shooter shoots at his own individual target each round. 7 places awarded each round. We had 26ish shooters in the trad shoot so you had to be on.
Paul and John,glad you both showed up and had a good time. It was a blast.
Good Shooting,
Craig
Far rider..sounds like the guys spelled it out well enough for me. Fire one arrow per round per shooter, the 7 closest shots to center win a prize. Then round 2,3,4 and so on until all 12 rounds are shot. We even the threw in an additional 2 dollars for a cake and meat round. One shot, winner take all for a cake. Next round winner take all for a platter of Raw meat...(pork chops I believe), ready for the grill. Guys get darn competitive for a can of soup or box of mac and cheese!!!....try one at your club guys....great fun!
Thanks Jon ! Every dog has his day...mine was last Saturday! I'm just really used to that 47# Holcomb....got it tuned just the way I like it, and I was shooting tapered cedars. Look forward to seeing you two...come shoot with us...GREAT FUN!....John
