2008 Southeastern Sectional Schedule For the first time, the Southeastern Indoor Sectional will be held at multiple sites on 8-9 March 2008: (1) Tri-State Archers, Tallahassee, FL, (2) Black Rock Archery, Sylva, NC, and (3) Chickasaw Archers, Shepherdsville, KY..The 3-D Sectional will be hosted by the Sandune Archers at Myrtle Beach, SC, on 12-13 April, and the Outdoor Sectional will be hosted by the Keowee Bowmen at Clemson, SC, on 21-22 June. 2007 Southeastern 3-D Sectional This tournament was held in conjunction with the Georgia State 3-D, and about thirty individuals actually shot both courses. The Fort Gordon club has two 25-target 3-D courses set up in beautiful woods and with realistic natural settings. The unmarked course was fairly evenly balanced between long shots on large targets, medium distance shots and closer shots at smaller animals. We had bright, clear weather, and 90° to 100° very humid heat. The hosts provided us with plenty of fluids, and we all tolerated the elements. The Adult Male Freestyle Bowhunter division required a tie-breaker for the championship. For the shoot-off, a Jake turkey was set out at an unknown (about 34 yards) distance, nose-on, and between two trees. Two very good shots, but one clear winner. The Fort Gordon hosts were gracious and helpful. It was a fun shoot at a beautiful site with a top quality course.
