Olivia is down with a bum knee so it was just Leo and I at the state shoot. When I got to the registration table I asked how many guys were shooting barebow. It was the same group of guys so I said to heck with it and signed up for fingers/pins compound.
We have some real good guys in this class Blaine won redding last year. More importantly it moved me from the green stake (max 30) to the orange stake (no max). The 35-55 yard game is soooo different than the 15-25 yard game with a recurve.
Leo warming up on the 30 yard bale - I guess no one told him he couldn't shoot past 17.3 yards.

Leo and a jack a lope
I ended up shooting a 303 with 5 zeros - until today it had been three years with out a goose egg - I guess I broke that streak in style. It was funny my biggest issue wasn't under shooting targets it was looking at a 45ish target and thinking it was 50 or more. With a 45 yard point on that yardage error will put you right over a small target. When you are playing past your point on yardage errors just kill you.
But I had a ton of fun and looking forward to the flighted shoot tomorrow.
