Small town of Graying MI was once the home of Fred Bear and Bear Archery.
For 40 years the local gun club held the Fred Bear Trap Shoot, Fred shot at it the time he lived there but for the past ??? years it's still being held without any connection to him or Bear Archery
I've shot it for about the past 8 years with limited results, but this year was a little different. Won 3 events, two in Veteran Class and the "Bear Shoot" in all classes.
Won some nice leather shooting items, $250 in cash & 8 boxes of shells.
Won the main shoot by going 100/100, only one to do that and that was worth a $100 bill.
Sometimes things just fall into place, good weather, good targets, good health and good luck.

That's awesome, JB. How'd you learn to shoot like that? Lessons?

Screw the shooting ... what I want to know is how you manage to win any dang drawing/door prize you even get close to!?

Man that is some mighty fine shooting there JB. Congrats. I know the extra coins will go to reloading components....
I sure could use a lesson or two from a pro, to help me on my dove average... :-)

Way to go jb, that is most impressive!!

100/100 is some pretty fine shooting. Hell I just shot my first 25 straight this year after too many years of trying. Hopefully now I don't have to see the smile on the boys' faces every time I miss bird 22 or 23. Again, congrats!
