Just wondering. Might happen to me this weekend.

My dear husband actually called me to tell me he had overtime this weekend (12 hours each day). I said, that's too bad! I'll miss shooting with you. . . . But I'm still going to the shoot! Then, he told me he was just yanking my chain, and he didn't have to go in this weekend! LOL So, I would have, if I had to, but at this point, I haven't had to go alone. I'm sorry you're in that boat. Maybe you can meet some new and interesting people while you're there!

 

[Harperman]

Yep, I have.....Lots of times....One time, I ended up with a good job as a result of going to a 3-D shoot alone...Ended up shooting with a stranger, we hit it off pretty good, He offered me a job, as an Apprentice Machinist, and 18 years later, I'm still crankin' handles, and making chips......Sometimes, having your buddies not show up works out.....Jim

Always. I have a friend for trad shoots, but I am definetly from a non-archery area in a big city. Never see anyone at a shoot who looks like they live in a city.

Sure Have But when you get there your not alone any more ahhhhhhhh

I like shooting local shoots by myself from time to time. You can really concentrate and work on your fundamentals. Or you can get paired up with some new people and make some new friends. Shooting is better than working!

I do about 3 or 4 times a year when I can't get any of my peeps to go along.

I usually just ask some cool looking dudes if they mind if I shoot with them, then I end up making some new friends. :thumb:

It's fun..You'll usually meet some great folks.

Independence, one of lives little wonders?
do you pump your own gas?

 

[outbackarcher]

I go to a few by myself just to get to shoot with people you don't know. I think this is good practice for the national shoots.

 

[Bull Run]

I've been thinking about this too. Usually my wife, bestfriend/his wife and I all shoot together, but when they don't want to go I'm stuck at home too. I might go a few weekends by myself this year.

 

[smokin'dually]

shoot with strangers from time to time, see how you shoot out of your comfy zone and you just might learn some stuff..

You are never alone.....even if you think you are. I'll let you figure that out.

 

[phytenphyre]

I have to, there aren't many people I know who are able to get time off to shoot due to work and families. I have found there are some really nice "strangers" out there though. It seems like, more times than not, those people are willing to help me learn the in's and out's of shooting.

 

[ProtecMan]

Best time to meet new people and make new friends! I've went to shoots alone before and met some great people doing it!

 

[asa1485]

I go by myself all the time. Ocassionally it is pre -arranged to meet up with someone. But, I have shot enough to where I know 90% of the people there and can join in with about anyone.

 

[awirtz26]

"You are never alone.....even if you think you are."...come on now...that one's too easy. :smile: He's always there.........
