I mentioned yesterday that we shot our pistols Sunday evening, and that we also shot other things as well. Well now I get to tell you what those other things were–our bows. The best part of the whole thing though, is that we not only shot our bows, we got to shoot them on our new and improved 3-D course. We have finally come full circle from one year ago and the aftermath of the tornado. (If you would like to see a refresher of what the course looked like after the storm click here.)
The course orginally was setup last year right around this time. SimplyOutdoors was just in its infancy, and things were going great. Then the tornado hit in August, and completely changed all that. All of our newly purchased targets were thrown through the country side (we never did find any part of them) and the 3-D course was history. Well, thanks to insurance, and a little patience, we finally got around to setting the 3-d course back up. Sweet!
The course is even better than least year, and the targets are amazing. They are the 3-D Mackenzie targets and they are outstanding. They should last us for many years to come, and provide for some great times I’m sure.
We have 5 targets total-four of them are deer and one is a boar. We stand in a stationary position and have to shoot at the different targets from various ranges. It is a complete blast and I’m happy to report that I WON EVERY ROUND TWO NIGHTS AGO. I won’t even mention that Jeff completely missed a target though–whoops, I guess I just did.
The night was great, and we all had a really good time shooting the course again. Jeff, Tyler, Ron, and I will be back out there again very soon I’m sure. It was awesome to finally have things completely back to the way they were before the tornado.
Grilling, food, guns, and bows. What more could you ask for in a single evening?

Sounds like a good time.
Awesome! Love shooting the 3Ds. We have 5 old used targets we picked up from the local bowhunting club auction and we set them up around the back yard, but we could do it better…and I think we should. That just sounds like too much fun! We usually end up just shooting the same ol’ deer all the time and don’t even bother hiking up the hill after the other targets…I think that’s called being lazy?
Just wondering how the targets are going to fare in the outdoors. Do they deteriorate? I would like to leave mine outdoors over an extended period of time. Just wondering how they fare against the weather?
Hey! We shoot bows and shot at the old 3-D course! We werent invited!?!?
Congrats on the new course! Sounds like you guys know how to have a good time! lol Congrats to you Art for beating Jeff, it’s always fun to show up an older sibling! lol! Sorry Jeff~ LOL
