    I had a great time. We started shooting at 6am on Sun to beat the heat, glad we did!
    Rumor has it someone stole one of the "fighting" bucks on the NA course....very sad if that's true.

    Coming from the guy shooting a crossbow with a scope on it. Haha. There's nothing wrong with looking at a target with binos. Usually it takes around 45-60 seconds for me to take a shot. Shooting a crossbow takes a lot of the guess work out compared to the guys that dial to the exact yardage everytime. That's archery for you though. I thought the shoot was great. Targets were awesome. Novelty shoots were a blast too.

    I understand that it takes time to judge the distance for archers but come on 3-5 min when there is a line of 30 people behind you!? Kinda rediculous especially when you have a group of 6+, Luckly most folks where very nice and would let me take my shot before them but some where unbelivable. Oh and im not the only one cheesed off about that there were aa couple archers giving the people crap. Anyhow it was a great shoot and cant wait for the next one

    This I know cause I let you shoot around me. There will always be slow archers. That's just part of the sport.

    Just like golf.
    I use binos but only because my oldish eyes can't see the scoring rings.
