Thought you all would like to see the "vital" target you can print on a sheet of paper. We are using it in our current Trad Bowhunter's of Georgia on-line tournament. You may want to do the same or just use it for practice. Probably equal to about a 115 lb southern doe - give or take. (or a fawn for you northern or mid-western hunters with big deer!) All bone or wound hits are -5.
Cheers, and happy birthday, America.

cool. thanks.
I dunno, Steve.... Seems like if you are shooting your monitor you are only going to get one shot. How do you score it after that?

Obviously Gregg has never seen me shoot i could shoot about 100 arows before my monitor would give out!
:bigsmyl:
Much more realistic kill area than some of the foam targets you see.
Do you have a link to this target, or can I just save the pic from my screen and print.
Here's the link to the on-line tournament. Open the pdf icon under the photo.
Shoot well!

Sorry, try again on the link.

Love the scoring on this. I've always thought that 3D scoring should be 10 & 12 rings 8 kill zone and -10 everything else. I hate hearing people say "get it anywhere in the foam"
In the days of old - back in the 1900s - like 1976 or so - we used to have broadhead tournaments !
We took a big piece of cardboard; cut it out in the shape of a deer or bear or whatever.. and painted it up to look almost 'real'. Then we used a pencil to draw lines indicating where the scoring was.
After a group shot; they would walk forward and look at the cut the broadhead made. If it cut a line- it counted.
Most of us were shooting different number blades; so whose shot was whose- was obvious.
After scoring- we would tape up the back of the target- so little evidence of an arrow hitting showed on the face of the cardboard.
The cardboard silhouette was strung up between two wood posts; and a pile of sand behind the target worked to stop the arrows.
The only problem we had was when two people shot the same kind of broadhead. To help identify the person that shot - we would take lipstick and put it on the edge of the broadhead. If everyone had a different color lipstick - identifying who hit the 'ten ring' was easy.
I like the scoring system above.
Several marital conflicts resulted from the wife finding lipstick laying around; or missing lipstick... but it was way cheaper than 3D targets :)
