Dan, Is Dave still shooting his Doinker setups or did he switch to the B-Stingers also?

I honestly dont know. I talk to him at the trade show. Didnt ask what his set up was this year.

Maybe someone that was at Lancasters might know.

Last I heard he was still shooting Doinkers. I haven't seen him yet at Gainesville, I did see Braden briefly on Friday. I shoot at 0800 in the AM, I might hang around and try to watch some of the other classes shoot afterwards.

I stunk it up today to the tune of 8 down. First big shoot for me so I reckon that ain't too bad?

[Twiztd1]

DP, Did you get the bow all tuned up? 8 down is not bad. Stay focused and you can make them up tomorrow.

I'm shooting my AM35, the AB is going back to SLC. I changed some stuff on my rig the past two days which was stupid with my first big shoot so close. I have everything back to where I normally have them and hope to shoot better tomorrow. I abandoned my hinge early on today and it turned into a punchfest. I'm amazed I'm not down any more than I am.

I'm gonna keep aiming for center 10's and take what I get tomorrow. Might aim at a few 12's. I'm just hoping for a respectable finish in my debut.

Scores are up on the ASA site, looks like Cousins is smoking the K50 thus far. Levi naturally is atop the Open Pro division.

[Brown Hornet]

Just talked to Braden..... Dave won the K50 and Braden finished 3rd.

Yes Dave is still shooting Doinkers.....as is Braden.

[ruttinbuck]

And Mr. Terry Renalds won Open Pro! I believe this is his first Pro ASA WIN! Great shooting Terry!

[Daniel Boone]

Dave looked to be a league of his own. Maybe he will step back and shoot in the open class one day.


Good to see a new face in the pro class. I heard he shot so imressive in the shoot down. Congradulations to Terry Reynolds. The Mathews Monster XLR8 is what Terry Reynolds won with some heavy arrows

Dan,
My triple XXX Goldtips only weigh in at 430 grains with 150 grains up front; far from "heavy" when you consider that there are some 3-Ders shooting the XXX shafts with 100 grain points, and even some with 60 or 80 grain points...and shooting way more poundage than I am. I get 223 with them at only 47# peak weight and 27 1/2" drawlength.

A couple of my friends are easily obtaining 282 or more with their XXX's and their poundage isn't anywhere near 70...

He shooting extremely heavy arrows. Heavy points. So are many of the guys shooting the Monstor bows.
Crowe shoots a arrow over 600grns.

K50 class

I dont think its going to continue in ASA. Just not enough want it in the pro ranks. Money not there to support it.

Looks like Cus put on a clinc this weekend.

TERRY REYNOLDS is a name that you WILL know now.

Great Shooting guys

[DaddyPaul]

Reynolds cracked off two 12's on his first two arrows in the shoot down. Wind was really gusting too. That just about put it out of reach. Levi shot a 14 to make it to the single arrow deal but all Terry needed was an 8 to sew it up.

Great to see a new pro champion that has paid his dues get to the top. May be an interesting year in the mens pro class.

Jackie Caudle showed he still got the stuff to win. Allen Conner was in the senior class this year.

1336 shooter was a new record for Florida shoot site. Off to a good start in a struggling economy.

I shot with Terry a few weeks ago. We shot a Lancaster type warm up shoot. He was shooting almost 70lbs with a 575 gr arrow or real close to it getting close to 280. What is very cool is he is shooting this for spots too. That day the last 2 men standing were Rendalds and Eyler. He also shot very well at the Lancaster Tournament. Terry shoots that XLR8 freaky awesome!

Dan,
Cool...goes to show once more that SPEED isn NOT "where it is" with regard to 3-D!

I see below a post saying someone is getting a speed "close to 280"...to me that means LESS than 280....so much for NEEDING 280 or more to shoot well, huh? EVEN ON UNMARKED...the NEED for speed isn't real.

Very enlightening concerning the ability to get close to 280 with 500 grain plus arrows...however, if it takes 65 to 70 pounds...then WAY too much poundage for me to muster or even try to.

I admit it, I'm a mere "mortal" when it comes to peak weight and like my shoulders just the way they are, hahahaha.

It is also great to see the numbers for participation UP as well.

Don't be a bit surprised when the K50 takes off...it is still pretty "new" and once again, the ASA has established "stepping stones" in what I think is an effort to allow people to graduate on up instead of biting off more than they can chew and losing equipment and getting discouraged right off the bat.

Most the top guns like Braden and Trail moved back to unknown yardage class because thats where the contengency money is and pros shoot for money. K50 wont take off without support of manufactuers paying contengency. Good example is Mathews stop paying for limitied class shooters and now there talking about doing away with that class. Special thanks to Mathews and Hoyt for sponsoring pro shooters. Far as the speed you dont find many who dont shoot 280fps in ASA. When judging yardage on targets it matters. Dont ever think pro archery will continue without contengecy money. Hats off to Hoyt this year for raising there contengency money for pros. Sure would have been interesting to see them shoot against Dave. He would had all he wanted with them shooting. They often shot 50 or 60 up last year at times.

Dave tried a B Stinger, but it hurt his elbow and he didn't find an aiming benefit. He is currently shooting the new Doinker Elite LDS and really likes it.

He shot the K50 because he really needed to get out of the Maine winter and do some shooting and with the marked yardage, he didn't have to mess around with all the practice he would have to do in judging yardage (He didn't have any time available). Ohh, and he had a blast!
