heres a new game i thought up for us tradgangers..texas hold'em trad style.you'll need a fairly good sized area to put your cards.put your cards up with tacks or whatever you want to use.shoot from 15 yds and you must use your first two hits as your hole cards,this is totally on the honor system.post your hole cards by thursday.friday i will shoot at same distance.the first five cards i hit will be the community cards.be sure and mix up the deck,only the first two cards please..i am quite the hold'em player and i'll tell you right now any two cards can win.PRIZES...i get things donated by companies and i buy things here and there also.prizes will vary greatly.first prize up is this new gerber skinner.it was a donation to start this game with. i need to figure out the shipping for the items.not really wanting to cover all shipping by myself.i will be trying my best to get bows and maybe even hunts as prizes.in case of a tie i will flip a coin or the players who tied can opt to reshoot and i will then reshoot also. PLEASE POST PICS SO THIS IS MORE INTERESTING. good luck :campfire:

wanted to share this with ya all..had lunch with grampa foot today..man he can eat burgers i tell ya :D :bigsmyl: :D
lets get this poker game started
TTT
thanks terry.....this is open to everyone who has a deck of poker cards
I'd like to get in....need a day or two to come up with a large enough backstop.
What if you gave us a certain day to play
'Shoot-n-Hold'em'...say Thursday by ???? and then you post your 5...just a thought.
Sounds like a great idea and game!!
try a local archery shop or some hay bales or maybe your worst enemies car :bigsmyl: ....imo hay works the best can't believe theres not more takers
Hay would be good.
I am stuck in the cab of a semi and trying to figure out how to do this....
I'll get'er done.
shoot'n hold'm by thursday with pics if ya can and i'll post mine friday evenings...next weeks is a very nice quiver that i just had to have and don't like so its a goner....larry
ps.you'll only be able to win once a month to spread the wealth out..
watch the road man
good deal.
I am currently parked and will work something out.
I think I'm gonna try this just for fun!! If I win though can I pick someone else by draw to send knife too-----since you've already kindly sent me 2 knives?!
Ben
give it a whirl ben...step right up'''don't be shy'''just be careful not to poke yer eye out..... :bigsmyl: :D :bigsmyl: :D
Sounds like fun have to go get a deck of cards.
Terry
I'm definately in. Just got my cards glued up. Will post pic tonight or tomorrow. This will be fun!
now wer'e talkin
ONE MORE RULE....if you win you are done for a month then you can join back in.so pick yer prizes carefully as ya never know what next week may have..... :rolleyes:
are we suppossed to shoot at em face up or face down?
Good question Dave. I put mine all face up. Here is what I got this go around. 2 hearts and 3 clubs. Goin for the straight.
IMG]http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k347/ewellman/wk1cards.jpg[/IMG]
Eric has seen me shoot I'd be better off face down!!!
face down please
Ok since the pic didn't show i will reshoot face down.
This sounds cool, I will have to find a deck of cards.
poker cards
I shall join in, this will be fun. I'll get my cards posted tomorrow when I film my 'First shot of the day'
still need more players man
i think rather than one continuous post i will post a new thread every week with the new prize so it will be easier to keep track of the players. we need more players....if this was a straight give away there would be 50 names allready.cmon people...earn it....lol.......
Great idea!!! I would be in this go around if I wasn't too busy chasing gobblers around this week. I'll be in next time.
What happens if I hit the same card twice?
Pull the card of the ones you hit. Do it after you take a pic of the arrow in the card.
hit same cards its a pocket pair...just like in holdem....
So... I'm new to the game... I'm to set up a deck of cards, face down, and shoot 5 arrows at the set, posting the 5 that I hit, in particular the first two? Shuffled and randomly set up so as to be pure luck, I presume?
I'm afraid to admit it, but at 36 years old I still don't know how to play poker or "hold-em" for that matter.
:smileystooges:
northern....you only shoot two cards...i shoot 5 as i'm the dealer.set yer cards up in an area large enough to have them flat(face down) then shoot two arrows from 15 yds.post pics by thursday midnite,friday i will shoot 5 cards ...best five cards wins
Sounds good my elk herding friend (I hope you herd them into your freezer!)
So is the knife the give-away this week?
OH AND BY THE WAY... THANK YOU!! Very kind of you!
yes the gerber skinner this week,next week is a very nice quiver
OK, so here's a question... Since at fifteen yards I'm consistent about hitting what I look at, and since we are shuffling the cards and then randomly placing them up over a backdrop, do I HAVE to use the whole deck and set them all up? I will for theatrical affect if that's the game, but in all honesty I'll be hitting both arrows inside of an area roughly 2' by 2'. Can I just cover that large an area with the cards that come up randomly from the top of the deck until none fit? In other words, the result will be the same without having to go through the trouble of finding an adequate and soft enough backdrop large enough for the entire deck...
Your thoughts, please.
needs to be whole deck...everyone has to shoot the same ...sorry
okee dokee. Can I fan out the deck or use teeny weeny cards? :D
Work with me! :bigsmyl:
I'll buy the deck tonight...
How are we going to make sure that nobody uses marked cards? :biglaugh:
cards have to be spread out edge to edge thats all ya get outta me man :readit:
Right on, right on. Roger, Wilco!

Uh oh!!
lol
Hey Chester did you shuffle them cards? LOL Hope more people get in on this.
Well, I don't know a straight from a hole in the ground but I can shoot two cards and take a pic! So, I guess I'll try it.
I've been watching you guys have fun and I want to play too!
Oh you were supposed to shuffle them? :bigsmyl: My wife was none to happy with me when I made her play 52 card pick up either.
I'll play, too.
Got a deck of cards set up.Here is a pic of the set up,shot and cards.Couple of questions do we need a new set of cards each week or just remove the two that were hit and rescuffle the remaining deck.Thanks for the chance.

uhhhohhhhh....a-j lookin tough to beat but ya never know eh..you can use the same cards each week for a while i guess but try not to concentrate on the same cards all the time,like i said any two cards can win. ya better hurry people if ya wanna play,tonight by 12 eastern is cutoff.
This was just birthday luck being tomorrow is my birthday.All I have to do is look at that spot and I will hit everything but it.
Terry
Man, I can't believe there's not a deck of cards to be found in my house! I was sure we had one or two decks lying around somewhere. If I can't get in today then I will definitely be in future hands. Maybe I can talk the wife into bringing home a deck.
Suddenly my hand looks whimpy!
:saywhat:
Alright, looked a little harder and found a deck hiding in a kitchen drawer(probably where 90% of folks keep 'em).
Here's the setup:
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/rodney71251/100_7242.jpg)
Here are my shots:
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/rodney71251/100_7243.jpg)
And here's my hand. I just barely clipped the seven. Maybe elkherder will be a nice dealer and deal me a straight.
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/rodney71251/100_7244.jpg)
:rolleyes:

mooseman1967: 3 of clubs, King of spades

rod251: 6 of hearts, 7 of diamonds

(http://inlinethumb21.webshots.com/44692/2436711140100712269S600x600Q85.jpg)
Got home from work today and went and shot my pair. When this was first posted I thought this was a really great idea. Then I thought - I bet everybody shoots pocket aces. But then I realized- this is a trad archery crowd. If any crowd can be trusted on the honor system - it is this one.
Here is my set-up. You will notice every card already has a hole in the middle. That's because this is a punched deck that was actually played at the Trump Marina Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. ( My lucky deck)
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f255/migrabill/P5210231.jpg)
I pulled out the '59 Kodiak for this one! (My lucky bow)
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f255/migrabill/P5210232.jpg)
I am being absolutely honest here - this is the pair I shot.

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f255/migrabill/P5210234.jpg)
Here's my hand for this week . Good luck everyone.

Migra Bill, it looks like that setup of yours has some serious mojo going on! Nice hand!
Thought I would get in on this one, BUT... its been raining here for 3 straight days! Can't even get get it to slow down enough to attempt to set up the cards. Guess I'll just have to wait for next weeks game! Good Luck All!
