BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
The 2017 BOOFEST 100 was a huge success. Many people brought targets and with the targets donated by Buĺldog Targets we had an awesome 100yard range with targets every ten yards out to 100yards. Thanks out to Tom and his brother for bringing out their rock solid shooting bench and to Anthony for his table.
It was great seeing how many people took part in giving 100yards a go....and folks, it's a long poke. We really have some great shooters. We took scores until 5:30 on Saturday where the top three shooters would shoot a total of three arrows each and the high score wins. Well, at about 5:28 I had some mechanical issues and wasn't ready to compete on time (although Danny swapped entire front ends of our bows for me). Our finalists were Rackingupoints(Derrick) homegrown in Ontario. Tremps(Marcel) from Quebec, and Flightattendant100(Paul's) son Colton all the way from Texas. Folks, these guys can shoot. All competition shooting was done freehand without any aids. The target used was a 50yard archery target. Everyone shot well but in the end.....YOUNG COLTON SQUEAKED OUT THE VICTORY....with the title and grand prize going back to Texas. Thanks to all who took part and a huge congratulations to Colton and to you Paul and Luanne for raising up such a polite and respectful young man. It was great seeing and shooting with you all.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
Paul, thanks for organizing this because it was a ton of fun. Congrats to Colton who did not disappoint; he's better than advertised. You've got yourself a great kid, Flightattendant.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
Paul, again I would like to thank you for this 100 yard shoot.
Not only is it fun, but very educational to the shooter in how their crossbow shoots and the trajectory of the arrow.
I do have to add, many shooters came ready with an HHA on the scope but some shot without an HHA. Just to prove an HHA was not needed, flightattendant100's son Colton (aka, PaulBuster) shot the standard scope package and won. Since it is near impossible to set the cross hairs of a standard scope package to hit at 100 yards, Colton had to aim above the target then have his arrow drop into the scoring rings and he won. That is what really makes his achievement more outstanding.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
Well first I would like to say thank you to Paul for running the Boofest 100. It is a ball, and a very educational experience. Colton and I had a great time. But... I want everybody to know that Paul, Derrick , Marcel and Danny Miller all shot better scores than Colton in the prelims. Danny Miller opted not to shoot, and Paul claimed a technical disqualification on himself so that Colton even made the finals. Folks that is just how nice these guys are to young shooters. Colton is one proud kid but this should sure have an asterisk by the "Winner".
I had not come as prepared as I should have been, and we didn't have a 100 yrd. zero, and our equipment that I thought would get us there wouldn't, so we spent most of Saturday getting that. The first go at 100 was pretty comical. Colton did work hard all day, and his shots improved all day. That is what I saw that I was so proud of. He stuck with it and worked to get better each attempt. It would have been very easy for him to have gotten just blown away by the distance, and developed a poor attitude or bad shooting habits, but he never seemed to.
Thank y'all again. It was much fun and really an education.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
Paul, both you and Luanne need to be proud of that young man. I did notice how hard he did work to get better and how his grouping was getting tighter and tighter every time he shot. Colton would listen to all advice and then apply it to his shooting.flightattendant100 wrote:................. Colton did work hard all day, and his shots improved all day.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
All Round AWESOME!!
Congrats to the Young Gun in showing up the Old Ones!!
Gotta say though, there's now been a gauntlet thrown!
And if my shootin' eye is worth it's salt next year, we may well have to see what we can do to bring the Trophy home to Canada (where it rightfully belongs - next to the Stanley Cup that is!!)
Kidding aside - Well Done to All!
Cheers!

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
Good luck boys! When Colton puts on another year or two, none of you will stand a chance. In fact, next time he comes, I'll put money on him! You ole gizzards don't stand a chance!

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
I'm thinking that Paul should also show what a fine fisherman he has. I'm sure Colton would also kick our butts on the water too.Let's see a picture of that fish.

Re: BOOFEST 100 RESULTS
From all my years fishing, I have come to the conclusion that the only one that can out fish a woman is a youngster
BTW, the two fish hanging are Colton's as well. I posted these from Photobucket, I guess the amount of pictures I have is under their limit.
