Great course....Mark G. and crew did a great job of setting it up. Thanks to Mr. Buckhorn and the TBoT for keeping things alive in Central Texas. It does seem that every time I make the drive from Johnson City through Stonewall and Hye towards Fredericksburg, that the number of vineyards triples!

Well I guess I'll be the one dissension. Everything said before about set up etc. is true. Targets were set in some interesting setting, with some challenging shooting positions.
However, one of the interesting things about shooting trad is the various ranges that the shots are taken. Vanderpool, Chester, Canyon Lake, Austin, Bastrop have the shooting stakes set at varying ranges. Fredricksburg had all the yellow stakes set about 18 yards +/- 3 yards.
I understand that the stakes were set for the compound shooters and their sight pins but how hard could have it been to set one stake at varying ranges for the trad shooters?

I'm tired and it's late, just got in from taking down the range after todays shoot. We set the course up for our club shoot and the TBOT shoot , red and orange for mens wheel bows, blue for ladies, yellow for trad shooters and white for the little ones. I shot it again today and enjoyed it again. I'm sorry you didn't like our set up as we tried to make it fair for all levels of shooting skills...... I heard from some that the shots were to far and some to tuff......I'm finding after 30+ years of doing this you can't make everyone happy......maybe next year we will pass on hosting a TBOT shoot as we had no complaints today about our shoot.......

Second my comments were an attempt to improve on what was otherwise a very well put on shoot. To cancel a TBOT shoot because of one person's slightly negative comments is just childish.
