The Elusive “300 – Perfect Score”
I have yet to shoot a perfect 3D round.
I have come very close with a score of 296 (2 near misses) and a 295 (one body miss). This weeks 3d round threw me a curve as I started very strong, but the 3rd target I encountered some technical difficulties… My D-Loop came untied after about a thousand arrows – that was the last thing I expected to fail. So i tied it back together a few times but was unable to locate anyone on the course with a cigarette lighter to get the proper knot. So I lost at least 20 points as I had to make shot with a loose D-Loop or no D-Loop. I t was kind of a bummer. To offset my badluck… my partner was on a roll! At the 13th target someone said ”…wow, you have a perfect round going!”. As luck or jinx has it… Mike missed his 28th 10 mark by about an inch and buried X’s on number 29 and 30. One shot from a perfect – GREAT shooting Mike!
Let us know if you have ever shot a perfect round…
No Turkey for Mother’s day this year :(
I only had a few days to hunt, and I was pretty excited to hear gobblers the night before my permit. It was just about sunset when I hit the owl call and a couple Toms gobbled back. In the morning I setup right where I heard the birds, but they roosted the other side of a swamp and would not cross it to come to me. So when they stopped gobbling, I headed to the woods on the north side of the road and bumped a flock of birds, there was a tom at full strut, a couple jakes and about 4 hens. I was so mad that I spooked them off. The next morning I cam back and had gobblers and hens talking all around me, but the weren’t buying whatever I was selling! So to make a long story short… i didn’t have enough time to really work the woods and was unable to score a bird this year.
