recar, what most of the others have said, but I wanted to ad something from what I learned the first time out. If at all possible, go with someone you know that shoots already for the first time. Makes things a little easier. The first time I went, and I think Dena's second time. I had no idea what class I was to be in, did not know which stake I was suppose to shot from (there were a few stakes of the same colors). I was totally confused. This was not a LSBA shoot I might ad. The last several times have been a blast, and I have even placed in a couple, of course not first yet. You normally will shoot one arrow for the entire course unless you loose or damage it, then you need another. You don't need a dozen unless you are really a bad shot like I was/am. Most people use the hip quiver, you can get one as fancy as you want or plain as you want. Good pair of binos to see the 12 ring. Never could figure out why binos, just shoot where you think the heart is. That doesn't help you get a good score because the 12 ring is not always were the heart is. During the summer you will need a towel to wipe the sweat off (See LSBA Store for 3-D Towels). Some people have a mini clipboard to hold their score cards, nice but not really needed. And yes, it is really addicting. Bob
