Alright week 2 is complete and we only dropped 6 people since week 1. Still good numbers. Had 55 people turn in scores with an average of 48....which is 3 points higher then week 1, and we had a high score of 60...which is all 12's....awesome eh!!!
Guys, if you didn't sign up don't just post your target. There was a sign up that ran Nov. through middle of Dec. and another 2 weeks after that was a list of people to make sure I didn't miss anyone. When you just post your target for the hell of it you make it really hard to find and score the peoples targets who signed up. Not to mention me having to locate your name on the list..only to find out it's not there. If you want in wait till the next one. Sorry I have to be this way, but dang it that's the way it is
• Alright this is week 3 of a 5 week series. The rules below are the final rules, and if you need any clarification please PM me. If your question is something I left out of the rules I will modify them. I will post any modifications in bold.
• You may shoot your first target using 5 arrows. Post your target with your screen name (the one you signed up with) and your score WRITTEN ON THE TARGEt. All targets are to be posted by 12:00 Noon Sunday, Jan 20, 2008.
1. Any bow longbow or recurve – No Sights what so ever.
2. No arrow restrictions....carbon, wood, aluminum, cane....etc...are OK
3. A cut line gets rounded up
4. An "X" is a 12 everything else is as marked
5. Targets must be turned in by Sunday 12:00 PM (Noon)
6. You cannot shoot all 5 targets in one week and turn them in one at a time or all at one time
7. You may practice/warm up before shooting your target
8. If more then 5 arrow holes appear in your target your weeks target will be a zero, or you will be asked to reshoot that week.
9. Targets will be shot at a distance of 15 yards or 45 feet
10. Everyone will shoot this Target no exceptions
www.tradgang.com/docs/tgott.pdf (http://www.tradgang.com/docs/tgott.pdf)
11. WRITE YOUR SCREEN NAME AND SCORE SOMEWHERE ON THE TARGET. Other information such as bow and arrow combo is OK as long name and score are there as well....Make them readable.
12. No whining, bitching, moaning, groaning, or complaining.
13. You may use a visual aid on your target. Such as an orange dot covering the X. As long as it does not obscure the line for scoring.
• We will be using this target so that everyone can print it. It will print on regular paper(8.5X11).
www.tradgang.com/docs/tgott.pdf (http://www.tradgang.com/docs/tgott.pdf)
• Best you can get is a 60 (5 arrow * 12 points = 60)
• All times I refer too are in CST/CDST
Hey guys shot mine today weather supposed to get crappy later this week. I'm enjoying this hopefully if this goes well there will be another in the future, maybe at different distance Joe (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg177/Joe-Mart/DSCF1918.jpg)
Chisler, Wk 3: 44 pts. Yeah, this is fun, kind of frustrating though... thought this would be my first 50! Maybe next week.

Shooting a Dryad Bushwacker 54@28 with GT arrows 516 grains with 225 up front.
not sure what's going on with my printer, so I stuck a red dot on it. Started out great with two in the twelve and one real close, then I stinkin' biffed one

and didn't recover on the fifth.

I need to pay attention and get signed up for the next one this looks like fun. But I could not have signed up for this one because I didnt have a bow but I got one now so I am ready to go.

good shooting guys.
This is with my new bow. Sure like the way this Cheyenne shoots. I have seen the groups tighten up a bit.

We'll let you slide this time, Rod. Try not it let happen again. :D :D :D
David
Rod what happened you missed that dang thing by a whole 1/4" at least!!!! More practice for you!! :biglaugh:
Geez Rod, you need practice or something! LOL!
You know until I actually took the time to shoot this target a few times and keep score I was under the impression I was a better shot than this. Although I do have some times when I shoot in the mid + 50's range in practice those have been fewer and farther between than I would have thought. I just seem to be stuck in the 46 to 51 range most of the time. It really is good practice to shoot these targets. I think I have always just been content to say that my practice shots would have been a vital on a deer and leave it at that. I think these targets force you to work on inconsistencies in your form and on concentration. (http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m174/bohuntr77/ResizeofWeek3002.jpg)
Rod, I knew last weeks "60" was just luck...LOL :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

bohunter....I hear ya! Thats what paper targets are good for :bigsmyl:
JoeM, Tom,Fred...its always just luck...but as they say...the more you practice, the luckier you get :biglaugh:
I have been working with Rod trying to rid him of his bad habits. If he keeps trying he might be a good shooter some day.
ps to Rod.....I am going to steal that belt buckle some day!
John...thanks for all your help :thumbsup:
Great shooting guys!! Just like the old days of postal match's.

Hunter week 3 45
Aaarrgghhhh! I had the first four in the 10 ring, got excited and did what I always do in golf....."Looked up". Even 40 for SOS for week 3. Note I'm trying new arrows and only shooting 3 arrows at a time that I've made up. Number 4 went in the top left hole, pretty much...then disaster with #5. You sure "7's" don't count? LOL. Maybe next week. Steve

Must have used to much traffic.
OK I downloaded and saved the PDF, however my webserver is very slow, so be patient, and if it doesn't work the first time give it another shot.

I HATE PHOTOBUCKET!!!!! I can drive to the Club, shoot, and return home faster than I can upload a picture of my target. Next week, guys, I'll just post a score. Had my knee 'scoped yesterday and still beat last week's score by 11! I guess 5 hits on the target will always be better than only 4.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/daveandsharen/TMP2-2.jpg)
Only 44 this week... going the wrong direction!

Dave, try imageshack way better then photobucket.
