Finally. I look forward to this shoot every year. It really kicks off my fall elk hunt preparation....

Not to mention I look forward to the relaxation this shoot offers. We're going to have a bigger crew this year. My apologies to those camping around us. Great to see young people in their 20's and 30's coming back to the shoot.

Thanks Rod and Jim. You guys do a great job.

[greybark]

Not only will we be faced with a typical tough and fair Jim Murphy course , but a new course assistant by the name of Jeff whom is just as deviant will make this one a course to remember .
Cheers

All settled in now , note Prez Rod had trouble removeing one of the wheels for the anti-theft mode so just wisely disabled it !!!!!

Heading to Rock Creek a bit early next week to spend extra time setting up the course in the appropriate manner. Look forward to increasing the challenge as it gives me great personal satisfaction to make sure every one enjoys the course! Hope all have had their practice, going to need it!

[Onesock]

Thanks for hosting the shoot Rod and Laura, great job! Also Mr Murphy thanks for the first class course. Best course I have ever shot. You should all be proud of the job you guys did. Also thanks to all that showed up for it.

[Hodaka]

Hope somebody gets some good use out of it! I've been selling them for almost 4 years now, and people are amazed when they get out and use them.

[The Hermit]

What did you donate? Glad everyone had a great time and holy hell if Onesock says it was the best course he has ever shot it must have really been something... he is a picky bass-tard! ;-)

This target was difficult for many as moveing from close in woods and obstructions to a distance deceiving , slightly down hill and slightly quartering away ....

Yup , thats the must touch stake at the bottom of the picture ! A typical Jim and Jeff show !!!!!!

[greybark]

http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab283/greybark111/RockCkRoundevous2014050.jpg

We got sucked in with steep "short" good angle shot on Day one . Day two and three were same steep down hill angle but with angle and distance increases . Notice the scoring rings were adjusted to suit the various angles of arrow launch .
Jim and Jeff took particular glee with their challenge facing the archers!!!!!!!

OK done and hope this gives beginners some idea of the joys of 3-D ing .
Cheers

Great pictures Ken. It was one of the best and most challenging courses I have shot. Thanks again Jim and Jeff
