I really haven't shot a recurve much more than a few times over the past 30 years, but in spite of that, I did quite well. But any target that hits the ground counts. My wife, Pat, did far better. She finished fifth in the women's division. This shoot isn't just a walk in the woods.
Every target is difficult.
The 5x5 target is about 25 yards away and can't be seen once you settle down to shoot under the tree. Some shots are done sitting down or leaning out from behind trees. The shooter must sit down with his back to the target, twist around and shoot the 5-inch block at about 30 yards. The eliminations continue for two days. When you lose in the A division, you move to the B and finally to the C divisions.
