3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
It's that time of year again! The 3D season is upon us. Elmira Rod and Gun is hosting a shoot May 1st starting at 10:00am. Remember to be there early as you have to be registered and ready to start the course by 10:00. So far I'm the only member of "Team Dryfire" that will be there. VixChix will be out that morning with a couple of other forum members trying to slay a turkey.
Hope to see some other forum members there!

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
I will be there with Madeline she will probably have to use a shooting stick as the bow is still too heavy for her

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
So what's the deal here?
Can anybody show up and shoot, presumably for a nominal fee?
Any restrictions on bows?
Sounds like fun, and it would be nice to meet some of you.

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
Everyone is welcome! Elmira is very crossbow friendly.
If you've never shot 3D before it's kind of like "redneck golf" - you form a team with who ever you like and go through the course together.
Some people are pretty serious about it, but I'd say that most are just out for a good time with like-minded people and a teeny bit of friendly competition. I've never been to a shoot where I haven't laughed enough to seriously throw off my shooting!

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
Sounds like my cup of meat!!
Guess I'm setting the alarm as if I was going out for turkey. Nearly a three-hour drive!

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
I know people have been terrified of my shooting but it had nothing to do with my ability.Tim you know my story on this shoot . I`m terrified of your shooting ability .
Glad to hear that Arron's still into it! Enjoyed shooting with him at the Port Colborne shoot two years ago. I'll have Ben along but I don't think he'll be shooting.arrons getting pretty good and the grandson is about bens age they may make us all look bad .
John, it's about another 1/2 hour drive past where we had the meet-and-greet a couple of months ago. Hope you guys can make it!How far or long of drive from Niagara?
Maybe I can talk the wife into bringing me.
I think it's $20 a person and $30 per family. This shoot has no restrictions. It's divided into different classes so you just register under your class. Typically we'll have anywhere from 5-15 crossbow shooters at this shoot. I think you'll enjoy meeting other forum members. Looks like it's a good bunch coming. Most of us are just there for the fun and friendly competition.So what's the deal here?

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
TPM: Thanks for the additional info. I'm definitely planning to go.
I was gonna PM you, but I figgered if I'm wondering, another tyro might be too:
How many arrows to bring?
I'm assuming field points, yeah?
What to bring besides a crossbow and some pointed sticks?
What's the terrain like?
This may sound dumb, but I don't mind. I'm new at this, and I'm just trying to be prepared in advance.

Re: 3D shoot in Elmira May 1st
Chris the normal shoot consists of 20 targets in the morning then a lunch break . Then do another 20 targets in the afternoon .
For the most part Elmira is pretty flat .There is a hill to go up on the trail . But if you are mobility challenged then all you have to do is stay on the trail and the others in your party will gladly pull your arrows for you .
The number of arrows needed is a loaded question . If you shoot like a certain person she was able to go through a few arrows trying to get the firewood to cook the foam animals .
If you are a reasonable shot then 4-6 arrows armed with fieldtips will suffice .
Depending on how warm it is . Maybe bring bug dope and some water/gatorade .
I would like to shoot this but will be coming back from turkey hunting that day .
