MM, you are not old enough to remember when 3D first became popular but compared to what ranges are like today, you might as well shoot a field course. Only difference is the unknown yardage. When I first started shooting animal targets they were paper targets and our foot had to touch a stake to shoot. In the middle 70's I won the Texas State Broadhead Championship where you had to shoot regulation Texas bowhunting equipment, that meant legal broadheads with legal poundage. Think people would do that today?
Also when the actual 3D targets came out, shot tournaments sitting on my butt, stretched out so far you were lucky to not fall, had to shoot under limbs, over limbs and thru openings in the trees. You usually went to a tournament with a minimum dozen arrows and were lucky to come back with 3 or 4 good ones. There were no yardage restrictions back then either. 90 or 100 yard target, no problem. Tournaments where no targets were closer than 50 yards, no problem. 3D tournaments today are a cakewalk today compared to those of yesteryear, but probably a heck of a lot more fun back then. Now to me, to many rules and restrictions or me to enjoy them. I owned and operated an indoor range and pro shop or 9+ years and shot 3D tournaments every weekend they were offered in the open division. Now I just hunt with a bow. Heck I have basically shot everything from Olympic equipment, to recurves, to compounds with no sihts and fingers to every bell and whistle on a compound. The only bow I never really shot was a long bow. Most exciting and sometimes the most frustrating sport I have ever done.

Hey kemosabe, chill out. You won't last long around here with an attitude like that. There is an infinite amount of knowledge on this site due to the 70 thousand registered members. Give your input where you feel its needed, and accept others when they chime in. Sometimes you might take a step back and say "Wow, this guy is right- that is a much easier way to do XYZ task" that you had no idea about.

Welcome to the fire and good luck on your birthday hog hunt.

the club I shoot it is the same way unknown yardage and foot touch is the stake or you stand over it
the old days sounds fun

[BTLowry]

This is kind of entertaining

Are you just reposting things you have read on the www or do you actually teach others how to shoot?

I think you will find that there is a ton of info and help on TBH, even the experts on here learn from each other

[Mike Javi Cooper]

This is funny on so many levels!! Hey Mike how much longer until you get to stop practicing that retirement thing?

When the wife gets through buying everything she needs for MY retirement...

That's how I learned to shoot...
