Title: Great Time at Pope Young Shoot
Post by: StanM on August 02, 2011, 10:58:00 AM
Sunday my oldest and I had a chance to go up to the second day of the Pope Young shoot and do the animal round.  Met with some old friends, made some new ones and had a great time hanging out with my daughter.  She's a gem, and I'm blessed to have her to share times like this with.

Starting out, a little early for her tastes I think.

The result!

Already looking forward to next year.

That's very cool Stan. Glad you two got to shoot the course. It is a very special setting for this shoot with the old growth trees, big ferns and all. Looks like she is giving you a run for your money! Good for her!  Really sorry I had to miss it this year.

Always my favorite shoot and this year was one of the best. Really liked how the Sunday trail shoot was setup this year - a good variation of distance & use of vegetation and the course was reversed compared to years past.

A huge thanks goes to Black Rose Traditional Archers who hosted the shoot this year    :notworthy:

I was looking for ya there, David, maybe next year!  She's more than giving me a run for my money.  There was a back up at the cat in the tree shot and we had to shoot in front of 9 or 10 other shooters.  She pinwheeled it right in the 12 ring!

shdwhwk, you are right, the course weas set up great, we enjoyed shooting it a lot.
