Have tons of fun and don't be nervous. Just pretend you are shooting in your garage.

Good luck and I will be checking your scores online.

No more archery in my garage. I converted it into a golf driving range last week.

I was talking about Dons garage. Thanks for posting my messy garage. :confused:

Just got back tonight. What a blast! Got to say though that the nerves went crazy when the guy on the microphone say's "this will be the first official scoring end".
Watching Reo Wilde win the shoot off was awesome!! The guy is a machine!! Also a very nice guy to talk to.(was on the elevator with him and his wife Erika after he won).
Ended up a little up on the tables and won $55.00 in my flight. So great trip all around.
I can't tell you anymore because "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas":twisted::-D
