Im not from the area, but im looking on your website, and im wondering...

where can I buy an aligator 3d target(#15)?
what are you going to do with the aligator at the end of the night?

I think it would be worth the cost to have one set up in my backyard in Ontario, and have my neighbours wondering why im practicing on an aligator.

PS: I hope the night turns out good for your shooting club, I wish they had more things like that in my area.

Xeon, The gator targets are available from McKenzie www.mckenzie3d.com Natralook model TXA140. They are big at 9 feet in length but are fun to shoot!

Thanks for the headsup, 440. I am thinking of trying to make the trip.

hmmmm .... February 10 is the inlaws anniversary in nothern W VA panhandle.... could really score some points with the inlaws.... oldest son lives in Pittsburgh..... i'm liken this more and more...

never shot 3D, what bolts do i need to shoot 3d? Aluminum? Field tips of course.

Sierra, any type of bolt will work; carbon or aluminum with field tips. Helps to have some lube on the arrow to make it easier to pull from the target. I use a bar of soap cut in half and rub the first few inches of the bolt and tip. One of those arrow gripper/pullers is nice to have also you can pick one up at any archery shop for a few bucks. Hope to see you there!

Did you post this on HuntingPa? I responded on there and would have surely been there if there wasn`t a nephews baptism on that day

I am Octagon on the HP site and also the Moderator in the Crossbow Forums. Hope you guys have a great turnout and a great time!! Jack.

Exocet, This shoot is listed on HuntingPA also. Too bad you can not make it. If we have a big enough turn out we will make this a yearly event.
