SUPER SUNDAY at the range - pics

kadbow · February 01, 2009, 05:47:00 PM

Just got back from the range a bit ago and thought I would share some pics of a beautiful day in western Colorado. First a few action shots.

Then the feast we had after shooting. Menu included moose brats and burgers, salmon, halibut, pheasant and some chips and guacamole. A few liquid refreshments as well.

Last one, a pic taken from the clubhouse.

What a great winter day!

Hey Mark,
Is that a Sheep target in the third picture and how far is that shot??
Looks like you guys had a great day! It was warm and no wind on this side of the Mountain, made it out to the range this morning myself.

Tater, that is a 2D sheep and that is a 50 yd shot. We throw a few long ones in for fun. We have one that is our 160 yd cross-canyon shot. All the regulars have a "cross-canyon" arrow in their quiver (one you don't mind losing, breaking, bending, etc.). It is a nice range, 3 - 2D ranges, 1 -3D range, a practice range, a few broadhead targets and a flying pig.

I really enjoy the 2-d targets. I like em more than the 3-d targets on the market. Dale Pottenger used to make 2-d targets out of the same type foam that 3-d targets are made of.

Where do ya'll get your 2-d targets

YEA RIGHT WHEN PIGS FLY !!

Looks like a blast

And I got up this morning and I could'nt get my bow back(shoulder surgery). It's day by day at this point. Sure wish I could have been there, maybe next Sunday. So who did the cooking, doug?

Great photos. That last one is a beauty.

Looks like a very nice day...we had warmer than usual weather but it wasn't that nice.

I should have gotten out and shot some.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Andy

Andy,
milt beens used to have one behind his trad archery shop (wildcat canyon archery) in durango.

kadbow · February 02, 2009, 05:06:00 PM

Andy, our course is just outside of Grand Junction. Milt still has his course but ours is probably just as close. I sent you a PM.

Very cool range, How high up is it? do you see any arrow flight change at higher altitude?

CheapShot · February 02, 2009, 09:51:00 PM

What a cool looking course. Looks like you guys know how to put on a shoot. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Bayou Buck · February 02, 2009, 10:37:00 PM

You guys are lucky to be able to see that country every day. I've been to CO only twice in my life, and it affected me profoundly. Such pretty country--and no hurricanes, which would be a nice change for those of us grinding it out on the Gulf Coast.

Cheers!

Looks like some great fun Mark!!!

Wish I was free on Sunday mornings, I would join you!!
