I went to a shoot today that was a little different. The club (Joliet Archery Club in Illinois) called it an Ironman Shoot, and it consisted of a 1/2 field round, a 20-target 3D course, and a 1/3 American round (10 arrows each at 60, 50, & 40 yards). It was up to the archer to choose which order to shoot the three disciplines. I think it's a great idea.

 

[Rednef]

Heck yeah! I would do that!

How many arrows all together?

Sounds like a novel idea.

 

[steve morley]

Sounds like my kind of shoot

 

[TradArcher]

Was there a skinny Icabod Crane looking guy there - getting his but kicked by a teen age girl ??

Sounds like a blast.

An archery triathlon......of sorts. Sounds like fun.

That does sound fun. I wonder if it would be feasible to have a 3-bow shoot (like a 3-gun shoot) consisting of a trad bow (recurve or longbow), compound, and perhaps crossbow.

 

[Raging Water]

Cool

 

[Arcus]

How many arrows all together?

1/2 field = 56
3D = 20
1/3 American round = 30

Cost was $25, which included a t-shirt.

My buddy used his recurve for field and his compound for 3D & American round. I was recurve all the way.

Yes he was there. He beat that poor little teenage girl by seven points, thank you very much.

 

[Blinky]

Sounds great - wish we had shoots like that out where I live....

 

[Atlatlista]

Sounds like an awesome shoot, I'll have to try to make more of those next summer. Joliet isn't too far.

Get it while you can dad - she's coming fast - your time is limited

Sounds like fun! I did something foolish like that a year before last. Shot a full American round, 3D and field round on one Saturday during the Sooner State Games. Started off at 9;00 AM and finished at 5:00 PM. I'll never do that again despite I came home with some pewter trinkets.

Ichabod must have cheated!!!!
