I attended my first outdoor 3D shoot today at the Saltsburg Sportsman Club in Saltsburg. As a Field Staffer for PSE, I had to shoot the Comp Class, which meant I would be shooting to a max range of 50 yds. Started at 7:30 am this morning, with a temperature of 12 degrees . I started off pretty good with 5's and 8's before committing my first goose of the day on a 50 yd downhill target. Lost a fletching on that one . Regained my composure for the rest of the front half hitting a few 12's, 10's and 8's. Began the second half with a good start before committing 3 more gooses , all on long downhill shots. Lost one arrow to a brush-pile and snow on one goose. Finished the course with a final score of 200/360. Not bad for 4 gooses and a first timer to outdoor 3D events. The Saltsburg Sportsman Club runs their shoot on the first Sun of the month from January to September. I'll be there again on April 6th. Will need to get more arrows done up before this weekend as I am now down to 2 tournament arrows . Got 3 dozen on order from PSE.

Nice shooting bodoctor. I had only one instance of blindness during my run on the course. Was shooting the one boar target just as the sun crested the hill and hit me right in the eye , I still managed a 10 on that one though. After that the sun went under until I got to number 28. Maybe I'll see you at next months shoot up there, btw mine will be April 13th from 7am until 2PM.
