Elite Archery's Forum Summer League

[Smeagol]

Announcing the formation of the Elite Archery Summer League for 2008!

There appears to be a lot of interest in doing this, so let's give it a go!!

First, the necessary disclaimers:
* This league is NOT sponsored by Elite Archery.
* This is my first time administering a league, so be kind. I am sure to make mistakes. Just let me know when I do and I'll correct them.
* The purpose is to have fun and to get you out there shooting!
* While this is a "competition", please don't take it too far. Have fun and roll with any hiccups that come along.

If you wish to participate, please PM me (Smeagol) and state that you want to join the league. I will randomly add you to a team.

The league will start on July 14, 2008. That means that there is more than 1 week to prepare and allow people to sign-up. The week #1 scores will be due on 7/21, and so on.

Please read the attached "Rules/Guide". Let's use the coming week to clarify anything I missed or that is not clear in the rules/guide I have attached to this post.

I also am attaching a Vegas target face that you can print out and use. Of course, you are free to use more official Vegas targets, here's a link (http://www.lancasterarchery.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=53_250&products_id=1359) to some.

Let's have some fun! Attached Files http://www.elitearchery.com/forums/images/attach/pdf.gifLeague Score Card.pdf (http://www.elitearchery.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3144&d=1215493245) (11.6 KB, 13 views)

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

what about shooter classes?

[Smeagol]

what about shooter classes?

No classes. Well, just 1 class - the "everyone" class.

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

No classes. Well, just 1 class - the "everyone" class.

I'm throwing up the BS flag on this one. I know its just for fun, but I ain't going out and buying a scope and a monster stablizer:crutch:

[Ringtail]

Chip, does have a point...the target guys will smash those using hunting bows...



I wanna play, but will have to wait for the Fall League, I guess...

[NJBuckBuster]

Why do you need a scope and monster stab??? Just go out and have fun.

NJBB

[Maybee-R]

Guys its for fun. Who cares where you end up on the list of scores. The goal is to improve every week. thats how you tell if your a winner or not.

[Smeagol]

I'm throwing up the BS flag on this one. I know its just for fun, but I ain't going out and buying a scope and a monster stablizer:crutch:

I am not going to those either! But, I bet we can shoot as well as those spot hogs can with our "hunter" class bows!

[Smeagol]

Guys its for fun. Who cares where you end up on the list of scores. The goal is to improve every week. thats how you tell if your a winner or not.

I agree with this 100%. Heck, I could take a target and stab it with my arrows and say, "I shot a 300, look here's my photo to prove it!". But, what' the point in that. I still know that I stink...and now I am dishonest to boot.

[Slugger]

Why do you need a scope and monster stab??? Just go out and have fun.

NJBB
exactly, its just for fun

pm sent smeagol

[Slugger]

the point is to make yourself a better archer!

[mlk3454]

You could always PM smeagol and let him know what "class" you are and he can mix it up accordingly. Or, we could use the first week to set up a team handicap.

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

Why do you need a scope and monster stab??? Just go out and have fun.

NJBB


okay, lets not keep scores then.....:28:

[dch3k]

I dont know Ive seen guys kick booty with hunting set ups over target set ups....its the Indian behind the bow that makes the diference...

[Slugger]

there are alot of variables chip, what if 1 guy shoots a hunting set up but has a local shop to shoot indoors but another guy shoots a scope and monster stab. but has too shoot outside when the wind is blowing? who has the advantage then?

thats why in the rules it stated handicaps will be given based on scores from the prior weeks

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

I dont know Ive seen guys kick booty with hunting set ups over target set ups....its the Indian behind the bow that makes the diference...

okay..., put Dale Jr. behind the wheel of a Jetta and put me in a vette, lets see who wins.

:slap:

[HoPaLONg]

dale........

[dch3k]

okay..., put Dale Jr. behind the wheel of a Jetta and put me in a vette, lets see who wins.

:slap:
thats not an even comparison and if my Jetta has a trip out engine :noidea:....we are only talking 20 yard shots.. not 30,40,50...some people really can shoot better with pins..maybe not you.:D... but some can...... 2 classes would be easy, but then you need to decide where slider sight fall into..length of stab etc

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

no scopes and no stabs over a foot. I'll let you use BT out of the kindness of my heart. No big fat pretzel rod arrows either.

Whataya think gang? :thumb:

[dch3k]

how about no lenses I only have a scope...although Im not 100% sure Im in..cause of time I cant change mine to pins

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

what about no? :chair:

You can use a scope with a 1X power but thats it cheater pants.

[Slugger]

I was going to ask about the lines, is it scored like a 3d target or is it opposite?

[Chippy (aka Slippy)]

I was going to ask about the lines, is it scored like a 3d target or is it opposite?

:violinbeat:

I try to do something nice for everyone and yall have to make it so difficult. :profanity:

[Slugger]

well i thought they were scored opposite of a 3d shoot meaning if your touching the line you go out the the next lower ring which would mean fat shafts would be a disadvantage

[Smeagol]

well i thought they were scored opposite of a 3d shoot meaning if your touching the line you go out the the next lower ring which would mean fat shafts would be a disadvantage

How about: if you break the line (there is a tear in the paper), you're in the highest scoring ring.

[Slugger]

How about: if you break the line (there is a tear in the paper), you're in the highest scoring ring.
i guesss? i dunno thats why i was asking/

[CATrapper]

Do they ever score it where touching the line would give you the lower points? Oh wait, that's the Democrat scoring system.

[DOAGuide]

I think Angie (Hunting chic) and I will play.

[Smeagol]

I think Angie (Hunting chic) and I will play.

Please PM me if you want to join. Thanks!

how about +2 points each week for shooting a alpine!!! while were making things "fair".....:laugh:

[Smeagol]

+3 for a BT shooter? :haha:

[L-train]

+3 for a BT shooter? :haha:

I think a full face helmet for BT shooters would be the "right" thing to do.

[TX Rattlesnake]

I'm in, just need to get a bow now.

[Smeagol]

TTT.

If you are interested in this league, PM me, and I'll add you.

[Tough Antler Tees]

PM sent. This will be my first attempt at any type of league. I have not even done a 3D shoot!:toothless: Most of my shooting has been in my yard. I hope Bumble Bee gets here before it begins or the GTO will have all the action!
TAT

[Smeagol]

Just so folks know, there is no requirement that you shoot an Elite bow to participate in the league. Of course, you'll be at a severe disadvantage if you don't, but that's your fault!

Please go here (http://www.elitearchery.com/) to get a proper bow going! :thumb:

[archer58inPA]

I'd like to join , but w/ my surgery on the 9th, I'm not allowed to do any shooting till the 25th or so.
Have fun guys. i'll do it next time.

[Rattler]

Well my "target" bow isnt here yet, so I will wait.....shooting that many arrows with my GTO will make me probable for injury and my $130K contract says I need to be injury free. :)

30 arrows 1x a week? Bummer. Take care!

[LHpuncher]

I guess I will sign up

[LHpuncher]

I don't know if it has already been mentioned or not but you might wanna advertise this on other forums unless you wanna make it elite exclusive...

[Smeagol]

I don't know if it has already been mentioned or not but you might wanna advertise this on other forums unless you wanna make it elite exclusive...

To be honest, I don't want this to be too big. My time is fairly limited, so I would prefer to keep this to those who frequent the Elite forum.

I am about to go on a major turnaround that ='s 12hrs a day, 7days a week, starting Monday through Mid Sept...6pm - 6am...I wont have that much time.

If all goes well, maybe we can have a Fall League. We can catch you then!

Good luck with work...!!!

[Smeagol]

How many weeks?

[Rattler]

Steve, I will make probably 40-45K in that time, but I will need that amount to hit the other easily by years end.

[wassaw]

Rob, with that kinda money on the table--- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FAMILY!! Good luck.

[BoCoMo]

Sounds like fun. Im in.

[Rattler]

Thanks Steve! I took the family on a little pre-turnaround - daddy will be MIA - shopping spree yesterday. Momma will get a new Fire Replacement with some Rattlerized pimp paint job when it is said and done and I am taking my boy to Disney World in January.

[Wood]

I'm in. PM sent. All bets are off come September.:slingshot:

[CATrapper]

If its a team event, what happens if someone has to drop out or doesn't turn in scores ?

[29@62lbs]

Are the teams going to compete against each other each week head to head with a schedule so each team shoots against a different team each week? Or are the scores just tallied and a winning team is determined that way. I see some concerns about "fairness" and although a schedule requires more work for someone it does kinda level the playing field. The winter league at our pro-shop has bare bow shooters competing against target set-ups but the team vs different team each weeks helps out? Good luck, think I will sit it out.

[Smeagol]

If its a team event, what happens if someone has to drop out or doesn't turn in scores ?

There will be a weekly league average, this will be given to "no scores reported". You are allowed 1 week of no reporting before being dropped. Dropped team spots will get the average each week.

I have the teams rotate each week.

[Smeagol]

I have it planned for 6 weeks.

See the "rules" document (PDF file) in the post #1 in this thread. There are images attached that show scoring and a Vegas face you can print and use as a target.

[LHpuncher]

how many teams we got???

[Smeagol]

how many teams we got???

At this point, we have about 18 signed-up. I haven't assigned teams as of yet. I plan on doing that a little closer to the league start (just to make sure we give as much time for people to sign-up as we can).

Is there a cheatsheet type of scoring card? I hate to reinvent the wheel..

[Smeagol]

Is there a cheatsheet type of scoring card? I hate to reinvent the wheel..

Here is one I use (see attached PDF).

[Maybee-R]

Just a thought here. But why not score on the side of the target face?
upper left corner I just write down my ends while Im shooting.
Arrow one two, three and X's
10 10 9 2x
9 10 10 2x
10 10 10 3x
and so on. its there also when you take your pic of the target. Just an Idea.

[mlk3454]

^^^^^^^^^^^

That's the way we did it when I participated in the Mathews forum league shoot.

I think that is a fine idea. For me, trying to write the score each end would be hard, as I have my paper target on a hay-bale, so I wouldn't be able to write anything. I could put it on there after the fact. ??

I would say go ahead and do it that way if it works for you. I take a clip-board with me and I write my scores on a separate sheet of paper after each end.

Also, some who have signed-up are not going to be able to send in a photo each week due to upload limitations on images they have. So, I don't think we'll make this a hard "requirement". Go ahead and do this if it works for you, but if not, it's all good.

Anyone have a concern with this? Let me know.

[Smeagol]

I have had some folks ask about shooting order, etc. Let me try to explain how this should proceed:

Each week you will shoot 2 "rounds".

A single round is made of 5 "ends".

An end is shooting 3 arrows at a 3-spot Vegas target. This means that there are are 3 target faces in a "triangle" pattern on your back-stop. Face #1 is the lower-left, face #2 it the middle-high one, and face #3 is lower-right target. Shoot 1 arrow at each face. I don't believe the order is significant, but I usually shoot 1, 2, 3 (someone chime in if this is incorrect or if order matters). Score your 3 arrows (max. is 30 points, with 3Xs possible each end).

Complete round #1 by repeating the above pattern 4 more times for a total of 5 ends. (max. score is 150 points, and 15Xs).

Shoot round #2 as outlined above. Total your scores for round #2 and your X count for round #2.

Total your score from round #1 and #2 and your X count from both rounds.

Report Round 1 score and X count, Round 2 score and X count, and your TOTAL score and TOTAL X count.

The email to my account should have a title as follows:
your-forum-name, total-score, week #
(e.g. smeagol, 287, 1)

In the body of the email, report your round 1 & 2 scores and X counts. If possible, include a single photo of the target faces after you complete your 2 rounds.

FYI: you can shoot as many rounds as you want! You have to score 30 consecutive arrows however! So, if you shoot a 7-point arrow after 26 arrows, you can't just drop it and re-shoot. You have to either start over or report the 7. That's part of what makes this tough!

Please post-up if you have questions.

[robbates]

I understand it now.. Thank you.. Disregard my PM..

[Smeagol]

Hello All!

The 2008 EAF Summer League begins tomorrow. This means you can start shooting your rounds for week #1.

Here is the preliminary team assignments. I would still love to have 2 more people sign-up, so we can complete team 8.

Comments/questions always welcomed.

[zorglub]

Smeagol,
if you don't have 2 more shooters to complete the 8 team, why don't you join another team ( = 5 members team for those ) ?

It's just a idea...

[Smeagol]

Smeagol,
if you don't have 2 more shooters to complete the 8 team, why don't you join another team ( = 5 members team for those ) ?

It's just a idea...

That would still leave Team 8 with 1 member. I'll figure something out, it just makes the math a bit more complex.

[TimZim]

Can we start talking smack now that the teams are set?!? Go team #3!!:muscleman:

[Smeagol]

Final team roster for the 2008 EAF Summer League!!

We didn't have any new additions or drops. So, I added a 5th member to Team 1 and Team 7.

What does this mean? When I calculate team scores, I will add each teams individual scores and divide by the # of team members. That will be the score we compare across teams.

I will post the Team matches shortly. Let the "smack-talk" begin!! :slap:

[Maybee-R]

Can we start talking smack now that the teams are set?!? Go team #3!!:muscleman:Sure can, But look who's already on team #1. and I have one of the best smack talkers on my team. Right Slugger?

[Smeagol]

OK, another change to the team rosters. It ended up we have 30 participants! That's great.

So, we can have 6 teams of 5. It makes the the weekly team scoring much simpler.

Here is the "final" team roster. I also have the 5-week team schedule in place.

This is a 6 week league, so individual scores will be collected for 6 weeks. It's just that there will be no team competitions on the 6th week.

So, get out there and start collecting your Xs!

Week #1 scores are due JULY 21 by 8:00pm. See the rules PDF for my email address!

Have fun!! ...oh, and GO team 6!!! Woot!

[zorglub]

Great, seems to start well :applause:


Go 1th team !!!!

[AVID ARCHER MAT]

Can we start talking smack now that the teams are set?!? Go team #3!!:muscleman:

+1

Cause you guy will probably be picking up my slack. :fight:
I ain't ever been a spot shooter but I'll give her a whirl and try my best.

[azchili]

Just want to be the first from team 6 to introduce myself, all my friends call me Chili...so you can too. now you won't feel like you lost to a complete stranger!

[Smeagol]

The scores have started to roll in...get out there and shoot!

[br archery fan]

lets go team 6

[LHpuncher]

what email address did you want the scores mailed to??

[Smeagol]

what email address did you want the scores mailed to??

Please take a look at the "rules" PDF in the first post of this thread. My address is in there. I don't want to post it here as it is likely a web-bot will find it and I'll get more spam.

Thanks!

[HoPaLONg]

Smeagol sub scores for myself and AzChili tonight w/pics tell me if you need a diff format:mail:......

Go TEAM 1!!!!!!!

[Smeagol]

Smeagol sub scores for myself and AzChili tonight w/pics tell me if you need a diff format:mail:......

Go TEAM 1!!!!!!!

Got 'em. I sent you a reply, as I need the Round 1 & 2 break-down of the scores. I use those for the team competition scoring. Thanks!

[Smeagol]

Archers in the EAF Summer League, a few administrative items:

1. When you send me your scores, can you use the following format in the subject of the email you send me:

forum-name, score, week #

So, for example, I would send an email with a subject like:

Smeagol, 275, week 4

2. When you report the #s in the body of the email, please report each round scores. Again, I need the score from Round 1 and the score from Round 2. I use those scores to calculate the team competition scores.

I have sent emails to those from whom I need additional information.

Thanks!

Get out there and shoot!!!! Show the X some love!

[GRZIP]

Team 3!

Not smack, just fact.

I know we are supposed to send scores in to Smeagol, but I am posting it here. This is THE best I have ever shot a Vegas target (um, 1st time also) Probably average for this crowd, but it'll work for me. I gotta get a new target, the ones on the right blew through it. Backyard, a bit of wind, a Sam Adams, and we roll. Now TAT, we need some custom Avatars for TEAM 3...

TimZim.. Did I see professional Archer! We are in!

Score: GRZIP 290 week 1- 13x
Round 1: 146 5x
Round 2: 144 8x

Bow: 07 Synergy with an HHA sight, 2x lens..

OMYG... i would like to shoot the same !!!

[DOAGuide]

Huntingchic and I are waiting for our bows to come back from getting new strings. We can't shoot till then. How should we go about doing this if it takes a week or so more?

[GRZIP]

Team 3 is the team to be.

I can't find a "Paula" amongst us. IS she real?

[Tough Antler Tees]

LOL!! She's my wife & has only shot her pink Fire about 100 shots thus far. She is not a member of the forum. I had her do a practice round the other day & she got a whopping 197 & 0 X's. Will be be doing another round today. She is having difficulty with her form & punching the trigger. This league is just what she needed to help her to keep shooting. Remember guys this is for fun & to get us shooting better! So, Team 3 please remember that!:freak:
By the way, that was some great shooting there Dan! We will need all the help we can get. There's some great shooters in here! By the way, I will make avys for every team & they can be used if you decide you like it!

That's gorgeous....

Tell your wife as long as she is having fun, she can post any ol' score she wants. This is all for the fun of shooting and doing your best, whatever that is.

[GRZIP]

Paula is now the team captain, that's THE best looking bow I have seen! Glad to have her! A 197 is better than i would have had in my first few years of shooting! Definately all in good fun, Go get 'em team 3!

[Smeagol]

I've got around 1/4 of the scores in for week 1. There is some great shooting going on! If you haven't shot, get out there and have at it!
:crosshair:

[mlk3454]

I got my bow in from Michael today. However, my CJ site like he thought does not have enough windage to even line up the site correctly. I shot 2 arrows and they were over a foot off to the left. My CS looks to be around 1" like many have posted. I am going to try to hit the local store to get a site hooked up, if not I will have a worse score than TATs wife as I try to compensate for that huge amount of error. :(

LOL, Thanks bro for understanding! My 9 year old son got a bow also, so we are making archery a family affair. Mostly just to hang out in the yard & shoot, but who knows what might happen. She does not want to hunt, so my boy will be my hunting partner!:2thunbs:
Thanks,

EAF League administrative update:

BoCoMo had to drop out of the league, that left team #4 one member short. However, "tim doll" just signed up and is now on team #4.

Welcome tim doll !!
:2thunbs:

Remember, week #1 scores are due Monday, 7/21 by 8:00pm PST. See the "rules" PDF in post #1 of this thread for email info, etc.

[Maybee-R]

Welcome Tim doll.

[tim doll]

:farley:Thank you, so happy to be here,,,, I think...... lol

[Smeagol]

That is such a nasty picture (the one of Chris Farley). Right after dinner too....bleh!
:puke:

[Bweger]

I just got home from Colorado. I will shoot my round this weekend.

[LHpuncher]

I kinda struggled a little bit this week I shot a 295. I have been out of spot mode for a few months now and i'm shooting my 3d bow. It will get better.

[mlk3454]

Dang you guys in the upper 290s scare me. I will probably be in the upper 270s to start the league and if I am lucky be in the upper 280s by the end. I got my bow finally yesterday and I think I have my 20 yard pin ready to go. I will throw some shafts at a vegas target monday morning when I get home from work.

[tim doll]

Yeah,, I didn't do too good, shooting my hunting bow so that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. Hopefully I get better so I don't bring my team down....

[Tough Antler Tees]

There will be alot of 295+ scores as there are alot of great shooters here. I know someone who got a 297 & is not happy with the score & it sure wasn't me!:toothless: It is these great shooters that makes me want to improve & so I am glad that they are shooting in the league. I turned in my score & even though it was not in the 290's I am very happy with it. I am just using a regular hunters set up, no scope, lense, or 40 ft long stab & a rookie to boot! Go out & have fun & just try to improve each week that's my goal! We will all be winners if we do!:first:

Finally found a shop close by with 3 spot targets on hand. going to shoot today.
07 Synergy. 357gr carbon maxima, fuze stablizer, 3/16th Meta peep, scott little goose release and the only thing that might be considered targety is the copperJohn site due to the 7" bar.
277fps@30" with 54.4lbs

All for fun, fun for all!!!

Feel free to print out the target image I posted in thread #1. You just print 3 of them each week, set them up on your back-stop in a triangle fashion and "boom", you're ready.

I usually mount mine on a big piece of card-board. I like the nice "thwack" sound it makes! :2thunbs:

something great happend while shooting though, my wife offered to come keep score for me, I can count on 1 hand the number of times she has shown interest in hunting or archery in the 10 yrs weve been togather.

after i was done she said she would like to give archery a try not for hunting but just as competition. I was shocked, so now my search begins for her a bow. of course my first choice will be a fire or ice:rockon:

sorry Maybee, didnt mean to leave you hangin but ive been on vacation all week

and yeah Ill talk plenty of smack with you but keep in mind i wont be able to back it up with good scores, last night was the first time ive ever shot a spot target like that, but I hadnt shot my bow in 2 weeks because of equipment trouble and vacation, give me a few and ill try to get better LOL Team 1 FTW

[2sonmike]

Well, I turned in my 1st week score too, and it was horrible...274 3x.
I shot with my vital bow gear sight w/ a .29 pin(too big). Gonna change to a spott hogg w/ .10 pins this week and see if that helps.
Sorry team 1.
We'll get em next week.

Thanks, but i'm somewhere angry about myself ( just a little ;) )... I know i can do better.
But, something i like in this league, is that it shows me where i need to progress.

I'm sure next, my score will be better with no 0 arrow.

[Bweger]

well the score you called horrible wasnt much behind my 279 6x which i thought was ok for my first time ever, LOL

You got me by 2x. I shot a 279 4x and I am nowhere near happy with that performance.

We both have room for improvement for the next round. Maybe we will shoot good enough next week to walk back in the house stuttin' like a big old Tom Turkey.

This is going to be fun no matter the scores. the main thing is get out and shoot. it can only make us better. :thumb:
Smack talk is only fun if you can take it as much as you hand it out. dont think a 279 6x is not good shooting, its a very good score. :)

[tim doll]

I am somewhat happy with my 270 but it was the first time I ever shot circles and did it when it was getting dusk so hopefully I will be able to learn from mistakes and post better scores in the future...

Yea, but 280 6x is so much better.:first:

I'm hoping for a little better score next time, I had a couple I wish I could get back, but over all I was OK with my score. I just try to keep them in the yellow.

[AVID ARCHER MAT]

Dont feel bad my first round was 225 2X but it was kind of hard to concentrate with the kids yelling in the backgound.

After I got some peace I was able to get 271 4X
Still not great but was a ton better than the first round.

[Smeagol]

I have almost all the scores. I am missing scores from:

Texomabowhunter [2]
Elite One [2]
robbates [6]
heaterht [4]

If you sent me your score and I missed it, please let me know!

Great shooting everyone!

Alright folks, here's what I have for week 1 results.

It was close in the team competition!! Well done!

Scores in bold were given the league average, as I haven't heard from them.

Please remember, this is for fun! No one is going to lose money or any respect here!!

Great shooting all! Let me know if you catch any errors.

no doubt this is time consuming & we appreciate all that your doing! Great shooting Team member TimZim & perfect score!:rockon: Also to team member GRZIP with 290! Congrats to Maybee & LHPuncher for your great scores! Team 3, all my wife needed was 25 more points & we would've had the top spot & I know she has what it takes to shoot 230+ She was out practicing yesterday, so hopefully she will gain on her score this week!

OK everyone, think "X"! :shooting:

Your right Ray I would want it every week.
actually I would like to get the 300 but realistically I doubt the 30x part.

Congrats everyone!

For those of us printing targets from the pdf.vegas document, make sure your printer properties for size is "none". I didn't check mine for the practice targets i printed that i am going to shoot tonight and it was on "fit to page" which cuts you an 1/8th on you lines or 1/4" on diameters of the red and blue circles. the yellow 10 ring was good.

Yep!! I noticed that after a couple of rounds back when. Check your printer settings and make sure any "scaling" is disabled. The target face will fit on an 8.5x11 page, but if you scale it, it'll shrink it down a smidge. :badpc:

I guess that's more reason to start shooting those logs people are using!

[wassaw]

I guess that's more reason to start shooting those logs people are using!

I have some alum logs (Super Slam Lites 2514 @ 31" with 4" feathers) and maybe if i would have used those and shot the same holes i did with the maxima 250's i would have added 6 to my X count but only 2 to my total score. might practice with them and see how much i have to adjust other than the sights down. I really would like to pull a 300 one day but 290's with a higher than 15 X count would make me feel like i could compete with some of the other guys around here. If my eyes continue to go fuzzier, i'll have to use a magnifier and clarifier. to much $$, cause then i would want a bow strickly for target so i didn't have to jack with it.

[vhunter]

Thanks for the info. I think I would have been a couple points higher if I new this last week. No reason I shouldn't shoot a 300 now.

[Slugger]

I could easily shoot over 300 with more than 30 x if I trade my biscuit for a LD, shoot fat shafts, get a scope and use a BT release, but I want to give you guys a chance:mooner:

You forgot: "...and shoot indoors...". Obviously those of us shooting outside are at a huge disadvantage!

However, one day I was being attacked by this stupid no-see-um fly at the range...dang bug flew right into my sight-eye right when I released, caused me to shoot an 8! I started flailing around with towel and whacked that stinking bug. I have it's head mounted on my wall. I felt manly after that.

But, still no 300...

Administrative Update:

Hey everyone! Week #2 results are going to be reported LATE next week. I am heading off into the Sierra Nevadas on Sunday night (i.e. no Internet access) for a few days and I won't be back until next Thursday evening. I hope to have week #2 results posted on Friday, 8/1.

But, please DO send me your scores, and I'll crunch the #s as soon as I get back. I am running an archery range for a Youth Camp for those few days, so I'll get lots of shooting in!! woot!

Reminder: when you email me your scores, format the email as follows:

Subject: forum-name, score, week # (e.g. Smeagol, 999, week 2)
Body of email: Round 1 score, Round 2 score, total score, total X count.
Picture (if possible).

I need the rounds reported separately so I can calculate the team scores.

Thanks everyone! And think X!

[HoPaLONg]

have fun up there!!!! fishing should be great if it opened up yet!!!

[Smeagol]

Howdy all. Just got back last night at 1:00am. Had a great time, weather was beautiful, but smoke from a fire in Yosemite was blowing into the valley making the air quality pretty bad. Got to shoot the GT500 a bunch, so it was great!

I'll have week #2 scores up soon.

[TX Rattlesnake]

Welcome back, glad you had fun on the trip.

[Slugger]

good to have you back smeagol

[wassaw]

glad you had a great time.

no rush on the scores (after how i shot) and don't rush with next weeks either, posting a pitiful 266 with 4x's for week 3. :(

matter fact can you take a few more weeks off!! :)

[Smeagol]

Got all the numbers crunched and here are the results. Please let me know of any errors I have made.

Scores in bold are league averages, as I did not receive a score for that individual.

Overall, the league average improved over the previous week! Excellent shooting everyone! I hope you are having fun!

I'm worry about my shoulder ( bow arm ).

I'm looking for 280 ( minima ) this time ^^ .
I'm dreaming of a day with 300 :)

It is all about having fun and improving every week. And also meeting new people! I'll try harder next week to bring team #3 up. Maybe we need a cheerleader. Where is Kristen when you need her??

I got like 2 points higher in week 2 but lower xs. I did however shoot once so far for week 3 and in my second practice round I got my first robin hood! Sucks that it was with my new arrows and while aiming for the x I robin hooded in the 8 ring!!!!!!!!! At least I am doing something consistently?! I hope to do another round better for week 3.

I think T.Z. is a big enough name in archery and has won enough shoots that he probly wont cry over not winning the EAF team event LOL

wed. night I was down 2 with 6x after the first round after the second round I ended up in the 270's with 1 or 2 mor x's I was so sick i didnt even care to remember exactly what it was, I didnt get a chance to shoot for the rest of the week

[Smeagol]

Just gotta shake those off. It's amazing how difficult it can be. I usually try something "different", like pick 3 different arrows to shoot. It's obviously the arrows fault that I blow a good round!

Well, I shot better this week! Had to shoot outside in our maintenance yard. Really hot and humid, and not much fun.
This weeks score - 285 6X.
Go team #1!

[Slugger]

one of these days im going to shoot indoors, Im gonna smoke TAZ and Maybee R when I do LOL I wish, I only get to shoot outside, in the heat, trying to keep the kids outta the street , after 10hrs at work

[Tough Antler Tees]

I also improved for the 3rd week in a row. I got two points more than last week. I shot a 287 & 9X. My first round I did killer 146 & 5X & no 8's. The 2nd round I was doing ok, then I hit an 8-9-9 in my 4th set for a measley 26!:spanker: I'm happy though as long as I am improving the 290 is right there for me!:dancebanana1si:

[TimZim]

Slugger I hope you put the smack down on me someday, this week would have been the week to do it, put arrow upside down and shot a big 8. Finished with a 298 and 25X's.

total score 286 8x

another small improvement for me this week! :yay_jump: hope it continues!
GO TEAM 6 !!......If you P.M. your e-mail I'll send picture ofmy target face.

im also bowlesss for week 3 got a new truball sight coming ready to go next week

[Smeagol]

Alright, week #3 results are ready.

It was a nail-biter for Team #6 vs. Team #4 and Team #5 vs. Team #2!! But Team #1 is taking a commanding lead! Team #3, we're still all pulling for you (I personally dropped an 8 for you...well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)

The league average inched up just a smidge (about 1/2 a point).

Here are the results, enjoy!

Pretty sure thats the default score for not turning in a score for this week. Although I have been wrong before.

[Slugger]

wtg, team 1 lets keep it up, .....load a few more of them arrows upside down TAZ LOL J/K good shootin bud

you guys in the 290's really impress me good shootin all

[DOAGuide]

This sucks. I had my new syn-x out and shot the first half of the round at 150 with 10X. Shot 16 the cable split. Now I have no bow until later in the week (just bought a GTO) and am sending my syn-x to stage 1 for strings and tune up. Hunting Chic shot a practice round last night and shot 279 with 4X. AND..She stole my B-Stinger.

I am not enjoying life right now:slingshot::fit::mornincoffee::tapfoot:

That's because they didn't report a score, so they got a "league average" assigned to them. 2 of them have dropped from the league, so they will get "league averages" for the remaining weeks.

I incorrectly recorded Maybee-R's X count. I have corrected this mistake. His X count is as follows:

Man our team would have won if I decided to not report a score and took the league average! I guess I have to start shooting better so I can at least hit the average. :P

Atleast she's gaining every week. I seem to have gotten worse this week.
In my defense though my arms have been killing me. Been ripping out an old garage foundation with only a sludge hammer and splitting pin.

:director:ok team 2, we are on a roll. great shooting to all.

[Smeagol]

The Summer league is half-way done! Time for some awards!

Given that the point of this league is to have fun and improve our shooting ability, I thought it would be cool to recognize a couple of the archers who have shown the most improvement throughout the 3 weeks. By "improvement", I simply mean the difference of week 3 from week 2 + the difference between week 2 and week 1. I excluded any archer who received a "league average" from consideration.

Without further ado, the 2 archers that have shown the "most improvement" are:

Paula [team 3] -- 33 point improvement in the past 3 weeks.
HVAC/R Hunter [team 4] -- 25 point improvement in the past 3 weeks.

They are followed closely by:
zorglub [team 1] -- 24 point improvement in the past 3 weeks.
azchili [team 6] -- 22 point improvement in the past 3 weeks.

Great shooting folks! Hope you are enjoying the chance to shoot in the league. There will **probably** be some other prizes at the end of the league, so keep on aiming for those Xs!

Paula & HVAC/R Hunter: the prize is a shooting towel (http://toughantlertees.homestead.com/Towels.html) from our very own TAT! Please PM me your address and I'll get that to TAT so he can send you your towel. Take a look at the link above and pick out your color. Let me know what you choose...and your address!

Let's finish up strong everyone! :shooting:

wtg guys good work

thanks again smeagol for your hard work and dedication, you showed up here with like negative 5 posts and got everyone interested in this thing before you made it to 0 LOL, Ive had a blast with it, thanks

Im really disappointed in myself this week, I seem to be struggling to find time to shoot, and when I do get to shoot Its late after a hard days work so Im beat LOL

I hear that! I had 3 available times to shoot this past week and each time it was raining. So down to the wire today I had to shoot during lunch in the rain. I ended up shooting 2 rounds because the first was so bad. I only got 3 pts higher the second round. I dont know the last time I shot in the 250s but it is definitely a huge low for me. I think I could use some dry clothes and some warm soup. :mornincoffee:

Sounds like a blast, lol, oh well shake it off and hope for some free time and better weather this week . its all in good fun anyway right?

[mlk3454]

Sure is all in good fun. I am very competative with myself and I want to at least improve from week to week. I am going to try and shoot a quick round again and resubmit if the weather breaks after work. It will have to be quick or else the wife will not be happy! I dont think it will be hard to score higher than I did but I am also not used to shooting over 100 arrows a day either...hrmm

[Slugger]

I know what you mean , Im thinkin surly a guy can find 1 hr per week to go out and shoot his bow uninterupted, then I remembered I have a wife 2 kids(2 and5) and a dog, wrong again!



the wife:blahblahblah:

the kids:help::hammer:

the dog:spank:

Hey no problem! I don't need to be thanked. I would rather pass along the prizes to the ones who truly improved their score. My scores improved, but not because of getting better, but because I switched back to shooting my old bow, and picked up where I guess I should have been all along. (My first round with my old bow was a 290, and my best round with my GTO was a 270)

This league has done wonders though it taught me that my GTO was without a doubt NOT ready to go to the woods with me.
