Jealous about all the trad. shoots back east

[britt]

I live in Colorado, we might have 3 or 4 trad. shoots a year. Its seems back East and Southeast there are trad. shoots all the time; year around. I wished Colorado was the same.

I wish we had the solitude that Colorado offers.  Wanna trade?

I have 4 different shoots within 30 miles. One for every weekend of the month. Some guys shoot multiple shoots in a day. My boys are trying to talk me into skipping turkey for a shoot this weekend.

I wish I could say I felt sorry for you having to live so close to all those elk.  :D

3-D shoots are nice, good fellowship and some good story telling, as well as fun.

   But I'll take a day of stumpin' in the Mountains, good for the soul..!

   If you have both that much better

[reddogge]

Around here we have a 3-D shoot within an hours drive just about every Sunday of the year. And we attend them too.

Britt, I'll trade ya a couple trad shoots for an Elk Hunt:)

[britt]

Sure I'll trade you, I'v been hunting elk for 16yrs with a bow and haven't shot one yet!!!

We do have a lot of 3Ds in this part of the country (SE). For some reason there are not many in August or September, they seem to stop in July.

Lots of shoots in this neck of the woods, That being said I saw more game in Colorado in a week than I see here in a year. Like Tater said ...you should just go stumping in the high country and have some fun.

I with ya britt. The closest all trad 3D shoot I know of is basically in Mizzou. I don't know of anything in the Denver area but that would be closer. I'm in the process of trying to get a 3D course going, but it's going to be a mix of compounds and traditional. Wish I could keep it trad, but just not enough people around here that shoot trad. The thing I REALLY want to attended is a trad banquet. You here about Baltimore, Kalamazoo, ect. I just think it would be awesome to be able to handle a bow without having to buy it first. Oh well I've got some good hunting and solitude here in NW KS. I'll keep that    :D

I'll just tough it out in Wyoming

I was thinking the same thing.

Over-the-counter elk tags.........Awesome!

We don't have many more trad only 3D shoots than you. The only ones I know of are the ones that the KTBA has. And I think they have around 5 or 6 a year. It's a 2 hour drive for us so I don't get to attend more than one or two a year. So, we usually hit the local 3D shoots that the wheelie guys put on. Still lots of fun when you get a few trad buds to go with. I usually go to the local shoots with my two sons and our trad bows. We have a great time with just the 3 of us.

         I feel for ya!!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Organize one!

I will say, there's nothing like spending the day with friends shooting whether its 3d or stumps.

   

[jsweka]

We do have it pretty good here in PA.

[wooddamon1]

I do like Tater does and just hit the mountains for a stump shoot...right now it's turkey season so I just stump my way back to camp.

It is fun getting together for shoots, though!

I'd give me eye teeth to get back to Colorado and float the upper Rio Grande with my fly rod in September.   To hunt elk around Craig again.  To go ski the slopes in Steamboat.  To attend another sales convention in Breckinridge.  To shoot in the Rocky Mountain Highpower Championship in Raton (OK that's NM...but its right over the border)   To get stationed again at Fort Carson.  

Anyone can organize a 3d shoot...  But to have all that at your back door?  Ahhhhhhhh  Shoulda stayed.

[twitchstick]

I with you on this on. Never any here in Utah.

There are a ton of trad shoots here in California-you could be going to one every week end if you had the time. Personally I'd rather be out there enjoying nature and chasing a few hogs; but it is nice to be able to choose I guess.
