    Recap and pics from the weekend at Big Oak

    The weekend got off to a good start Friday night with Bisch shooting a pig, but it was skinned before I got my camera, maybe someone else has a LDP. (confession: I had a nice pig come in that evening but I shot high and the arrow glanced off his back) After dinner the games commenced under the lights. First up, a double elimination, head-to-head "speed round" seeing who could break 3 balloons the fastest. The distance was pretty short so it mostly came down to who is a "fast-nocker" and who is a fumble-fingered "slow nocker" We then shot at balloons pinned to the 3d targets. Lots of ribbing, grief-giving and fun!

    Saturday morning, Chew scored with a nice fallow doe!

    Saturday afternnoon we shot a full round of 3d. Only kill zone scores - 3points from the white stake, 5 points from the yellow stake, 7 points from the red stake. A hit outside the kill zone was a minus 5 points.

    Time for the maximum distance game. Anywhere on the buffalo keeps you in the competion. Two chances then those that hit move back 10 yards and shoot again.

    Then just for grins we moved back - way back. We didn't have a rangefinder (we are trad guys after all) but it was estimated to be 175-200 yards.
    Bisch was the only archer to hit it!

    Next we tried our hand at some flying targets, tossed up by Buff. We started with one the size of a trash can lid. (in fact it was a trash can lid) and those that hit it advanced to the next round with smaller targets.

    It was a really great weekend. Huge thanks to Buff for having us out and thanks to Chunky for organizing it. Thanks to Whitney as well, she was a big help. Big Oak is an awesome place - I for one, will be back!

                  I had a fantastic time at this get together/hunt! I have been both times and will come to the next one unless I get sick or something. I have a pic of the pig I shot and will post it up when I can download it from my camera to the computer. It was a nice 172# sow.

                  Congrats to all the winners of the games and GREAT shot, Bobby , on that fallow doe!
