Avalon's EXTREME Shoot

corbarwolf · Avalon's EXTREME Shoot

Thought you might like to see a couple of photos from this weekends Avalon shoot called the EXTREME (Tony Weston - Course designer)
It was different, it was Extreme, it was FUNNNN!!!!!
The idea was based around ethical kills, whereby a wound is BAD!
Which is why on the first arrow the normal 24 inner kill was scored 10,
the kill 20 was scored as 8 and the wound 16 was -5.
Second arrow was scored kill 5 and wound -5.
So if you hit the bum on your first arrow and again on your second on the first target you were off to a flying start of -10.
This image was Predator and prey, no hit to the prey no go on the croc. (25yardsish)

This was great to see! (How many Deer?)

This first pig was new and then put into the raffle....courtesy of The Archery Company (Sponsors)

This was an easy 80 Yard across a dip to 4 Bears on the other side...can you see them?
we could only see 3......until we went around the corner to the white peg and found big daddy grizzly hiding.........clever

All i can say is SUPERB and it has to be an made into an annual shoot.
Thanks!!
Mark and Zoe

Nice setup; have a hard time doing that around here however. Too many snakebites, cactus needles and mesquite thorns

Keep seeing all these pictures of field shoots is really making me want to give it a try

Great pics

Stop looking and start finding somewhere to have a go Mjollnir, listen to the voices Mj "Do it, Do it, Do it"

I can tell you you will love the fun you can have

Mjollnir

Might be a good excuse to get a second bow, something traditional maybe.

Selwoc

Mjollnir, there is a class for your normal recurve target bow, you don't need another. Both ferret and I shoot our normal target bows in NFAS Freestyle and IFAA/EFAA Freestyle Recurve.

Mjollnir

But would I not have to shoot sightless, or are sights allowed.

excuse my ignorance.

Selwoc

You can use sights in freestyle. My bow is set up exactly the same as a target bow, sight, stabilizer etc.
Have a look at the NFAS shooting styles on their web board http://www.nfas.net/nfas_styles.asp?style=all

Mjollnir

So the only thing you have to guess is the range?

besides it would be good to have an excuse for a second bow

Cheers for the link

I wish I could afford X10s lol, nah just NAV FMJs.

I love em, only got them this year. I am so used to shooting Alleys the size of tree trunks, they are tiny in comparison, and they hit with such force, that on a 20m target they stick their heads out the other side of a brand new foam target.

but yes using the Cobalts for field might be best, the bright blue arrows are easier to find in the undergrowth

ruthmc

Ooooh I am looking forward to shooting at Avalon for the first time later this month

And yes, I shoot FS for field like Selwoc and Ferret, no change from my target set-up except for the arrows

You might need 2 buttons of you shoot allys and carbons, otherwise one will do!

As for cobalts, well, mine weren't any easier to see, but they did seem to have a geat attraction to trees

Now I've got plats with very bright fletchings which seem to find the target a bit better

Mjollnir Forget the Sights (cant believe I just said the word) move away from the dark side and come back to the light of barebow far better lol (when it goes right) looks like a crackign shoot though

Mjollnir

Ha Ha Ha but I like the darkside, we have cookies

Bushy

well use it as an excuse to get another bow then of course you dont want to upset ur target set up so will just have to set up another one lol such a shame thats what I said when I keep bringing home bows
