Found another reason to love our bows...

[Hunterpete]

I went to Salt Lake City and shot at the Bowcast at the Bird event. We took a tram to almost 11,000 feet and shot twenty targets down to about 7800 feet of elevation. I live at 600 feet so I felt the 10,000 foot change There were five targets(approximately), maybe more. that were between 95-115 yards. Almost all of the other shots were long too and with fairly difficult footing. It was essential to use your bubble.

Anyway, the other reason I found to love our bows is this...it takes a little time, 10 seconds or more, to get your bow leveled and get the pin settled on the target. Many times it takes even longer because you really have to adjust for those angles. The deep valley and higher letoff made executing these shots much less stressful. Also having the drawstops made for a very consistent anchor.

This all paid dividends as only completely missed a couple of targets This shoot is very fun, very physically demanding and will teach you a ton about all of your equipment. We will definitely be there again next year.

Bow season is coming!

It was a great shoot and had loads of fun. I shot it Friday and Saturday shooting all the coarses except the smoker round both days. We shot the Elite and FMP coarse in 2 hrs and 45 min and at that pace was a great conditioning workout for the backcountry. We will be there next year for sure.

No reason to shoot anything else but Elite bows...they do all the talking. Elite is all I've been shooting for the last 5 years...No need to change now. Great company and great bows. Glad you had fun Pete!!!

That leaves me out. I have to let the younger generation do those things. My last endeavor like that was climbing the Thunder Mts in southern Ariz. and climbing Picacho Peak half way between Tucson and Pheonix! There is something to say about youth!

Was this known distance? Doubt this fatboy could stand the climb.

Would love to see a picture of two, sounds like a real challenge.
