Appalachian Bowmen 3D traditional shoot.

Who is going?  I have yet to make it to one of these shoots. Every year I want to go but it just never works out. Between work and spring youth sports. But I think this year I may take off of work on Friday and head up.

Haven’t been in the past few years but I may go. It’s a good shoot and they try to get some good vendors there also.

I went one year with Jakes Beard . 
‘if you go make sure to bring some trash arrows .

to me Trad archery is about up close and personal shooting .

the course was set up that the shots were well beyond most trad archers effective range .

guys ( including myself ) spent as much time looking for flung arrows as we did shooting the course .

would be a better shoot if targets where set at reasonable traditional  yardages with an occasional long shot ..….

I usually have gone at least one of the days every year, really fun shoot.  FYI, there are 3D shoots just about every Sunday within a reasonable driving distance in NJ, PA, and NY (wherever you are from) starting soon throughout the summer.

I usually hit most of the Farmers shoots, but always with the compound. This year I want to change that. Including backyard shoots with the kids and their longbows. I have chased the compound accuracy craze long enough. It is time to get back to where I love to be, behind a stick bow.

Don't forget the first annual, Ocean County DU 3D shoot on 2/27 at Citta Scout Reservation.  It will be the first time the course will be open to the public. There are 23 stations with 30 targets up to 50+ yards for compounds, shorter ranges for longbows and recurves. Cost is $40 online and $50 the day of the shoot. Food will be provided and there is reduced pricing for kids. L posted a thread with details previously if you are interested.

We go every year and have a great time.  They do a great job with the course.  You can move closer to decrease your odds of losing an arrow, but we always lose one or two.

Use to do all the area shoots. Haven’t gone in years cause of family commitments. Gonna try to make one or two this year. Hopefully can get my son there. It’s a lot of fun.

It's a great shoot, it's worth the effort to get there!

Although it's been a while, I've gone many times, best shoot around.
