BRAGGING RIGHTS CHAMP award goes to @SoleAdventure!! He scored an impressive 502 with over 20 x's to his credit. He started off a little slow, but didn't take him long to turn it up. Congratulations, Mark!
First Kill of the year goes to Gary Vogel. He shot a beautiful Pronghorn buck in Wyoming that green scored over 74”, easily making it possible for a Pope & Young entry. Congatulations, Gary! Now the pressure is on the rest of the gang to score on some big brown critters!
Door Prize Winners were: @slsgdad: Moultrie decal, cap, & Vapor Trail’s cable & string combo. @Viper_Venom: Moultrie decal, cap, & a Silent Retriever. @stlsprtshntr: Moultrie decal, cap, & a Silent Retriever. @speedyarrow73: Moultrie decal, cap, & the Ultimate Deer Hanger. @bobbyjrhester: Moultrie decal, cap, & Ozark Custom Calls shirt. Alan Lachance: Moultrie decal, cap, & pack of Super Sonic Broadheads. @SoleAdventure: man this tweep had a field day (no pun intended) won a Moultrie decal, cap & a Silent Retriever. (I should have pulled out his name, hahaha)
What a blast. Weather was favorable. We all gathered to shoot the breeze, talk some hunting, archery, and even got a change to make a few announcements of fellow tweep Mark and his involvement with @huntography. I had the pleasure to learn about a possible new ARCHERY SHOP coming near us soon. The shoot could not take place without the famous TRASH TALK, of course. Don’t forget the “sun was in my eye” excuse. Some targets did claim the lives of a few arrow shafts that refused to fly straight (pun intended). Hoyt shooters got a lot of grieve, now I understand why, LOL! Just kidding JOE and Al . We had a Diamond, Elite, Hoyt, BowTech, RedHead, Mathews, and my favorite, G5’s Quest Primal bows making a presence. Believe it or not, Will’s (@TheWillToHunt) name came up a few times.
SPECIAL THANKS TO: Bob Brumback of Northside Archery Club. He took some time from his Saturday to help with the shoot. All the funds he collected will be put to good use on the park’s archery range. The range is maintained by the club, for club’s use AND the community. Also want to thank Steve Peacock for volunteering his time to take some pictures to share with (southern way) y’all. Last but not least, “Friends of the Shoot”. Go to my website and CLICK on their link and pay them a visit. They truly are supporters of events for average people that share the passion for the outdoors.
Overall, everyone at the shoot was a winner and that’s what made this event a success. Met new people, put names on faces, and started another network of friendships. Social media is powerful, but we make it powerful. I truly am blessed to have been able to be a part of this, to have been able to see fellowship and laughter, and realize that, yes, as common folks that we are, we sure are special.
God Bless and hope more states, more tweeps and friends pick up on this idea. I’m already brainstorming for next year. There will be some improvements, more prizes, and hopefully more participants. Oh, yeah, I’m making it my goal to dethrone Mark.
