Wish I'd found you guys about a year ago, when I started shooting again.
Was out of archery for many years due to all of the prior commitments I was taking care of, you know I.E. U.S. Army, Wife, Kids and making sure we would survive post Military life, etc. etc.
Well I'm now shooting again and trying to shoot every afternoon after work. A friend gave me a Hoyt, Raider (age unknown, late 80's to early 90's I think) and got me shooting again while I was trying to figure out if I was capable of slinging arrows still after all of these years.
Well through great fortune I've also acquired a lot newer Hoyt Protect w/LXPro limbs that is helping me a great deal. I'm learning that I still like shooting alot.
Now to my point. When I returned from Panama I was able to shoot on a field course in Columbus, Georgia right outside of post with a friend in the service who had a Bear compound bow. We did that a couple of times and it sure was fun.
Now days I understand that Field Archery is not as prominent as it once was and that 3-D is the going game. Well I've never shot any 3-D at all. My oldest Son has up in Deep East Texas as he puts it but I haven't.
I'm currently shooting fingers and a 3-pin sight with peep on the string. Can and old stink like me shoot 3-D with this setup and maybe compete in some form or fastion?
In unknown territory here, and could use a lot of help navigating.
