2003 BIGFOOT OPEN

2003 Photos

Bigfoot was once again a huge success thanks to a lot of things. Great Weather, a great range, a unique format and most of all you coming out and enjoying yourself. The Black Knight Bowbenders Thank you, one and all, for coming.

· Check out this Sunday’s Asbury Park Press for a cool article by Bob Cullinane on Bigfoot and Archery

Our club recently purchased an additional 10 acres of land, giving us over 40 acres to grow into. We obviously hit our savings hard and your support did a lot to get us out of the red.

This year I particularly enjoyed seeing Traditional, Dot and 3-D shooters all enjoy one shoot as one family – None of us can make it alone and we need to do this format more often.

The Traditional “Last Man Standing” awards went to:

1st -- Mike Orlic

2nd-- Paul Muehleisen

3rd-- Walter Quick

4th-- Barry Schulman

5th-- Bart Keil

6th-- Jim Helle

This was a first ever Traditional event of this type and it went over great – This was the first time I ever watched “Traditional” shooters compete and it was exciting. It made me want to pull out my stick bow and get back to my roots. Awards from Grumpy’s Archery, Stick & String & A&M plus a great looking plaque made the victory even sweeter for the top 6 shooters listed above – The sudden death shoot off between Orlic & Muehleisen was dynamite. Thanks to Paul Winans for running the event and his thoughtful input in creating it. Paul will accept input from any Traditional Shooter who has a good idea! Paul Winans [crkd_arrow@juno.com]

The 3-D winners were:

Fixed Site Release Rob Cramer 296

Movable Site Release Darren Sneddon 275

Fixed Site Release (Female) T Frake 183

Fixed Site Fingers Marvin Mahana 277

Recurve Longbow Mike Orlic 243

Positive comments were made about the totally different 3-D layout that Ken Orlando of BKB designed. It sure was different.
