Mar. 18 - Whortlekill Rod & Gun 3-D

[BT]

I was busy today and don't even have my boots ready....much less my snowshoes

I'll just have to rough it and bring whatever I can grab tomorrow morning

[Scottyluck]

I can hear the excuses starting already!!! ;D

[BT]

We saw alot of this today ;D
Thankfully we made it past this group on target 13
Never saw so many misses at targets which were maybe 30-35 yrds out



Paul scoping' the Yote



And this would be the last close target we would see all day



Now Paul is getting serious



This is half of the distance which the target was from the actual stake



Actually there was one more close one before the field



And then we hit the wind tunnel

I took 2 Zero's here and although Votto managed to hit the targets , he was getting drifts out 6" or more for every 30 yards.
(When the winds died down! ;D)

I was beat by the end of the shoot.
Every step would be like falling off a milk crate as the crust would hold you just long enough to get upright before it would break from underneath the foot it held.

Very rough!
High winds,snow blindness,the works!
I managed a 216 on a 28 target course which is bad but not under the conditions IMO

[vonottoexperience]

Yes, the toughest course yet this season..12" of powder with a 2" crust..targets fooled me for awhile till I realized they were further then I thought. Open snow scape with no reference, wind gusting of 25 knots.I was a good test, I shot a 244 on a 28 target course. A little off my game but I'll take it gladly ...it could have been bad Some of BT 's arrows where going into the target on a 45% angle due to wind shear

[BT]

That was crazy!
I should have took a picture of that one in the field
