Post by: xbmedic on June 29, 2012, 12:08:00 PM
Wow. Some great shooting in the first round. This week we will shoot only 2 arrows sitting on a stool/bucket/chair at 10 yards. Good luck!

Hmmmm, don't think I'm getting enough back tension on this shot.  Need to practice this one a whole lot more.  Sitting on a 5gal bucket. Looks like a 14. I shoulda listened to Matt about target setup   :knothead:

I think we should make a rule that warm ups are allowed unless it is specifically stated that they are not. it seems like a lot of the thread starters from both years forget to specify (me included)

Ok, here we go
Week 1 Score of 24

Week 2 score of 14. Ignore the holes to the right. I shot those from 12 yards then came back and read the directions   :knothead:

Here's an 18.  (http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad183/wclooper/2012-06-29201437.jpg)

I keep forgetting to get some new plates, so this one's got a few extry holes.
Title: Re: FUN SHOOT ROUND 2
Post by: Dogboy900 on June 29, 2012, 09:31:00 PM
Got a 16 this week  :)  I think I have found my ideal hunting distance, 10 yards and sitting on my behind      :D .

   (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k178/Dogboy900/Bow%20stuff/Fun%20Shoot/Week2.jpg)

Elknutz's comment about back tension actually helped a lot. Its something I really need to concentrate on when I shoot. Also shooting my heavier bow this week which strangely seems to have improved my accuracy.

heres a 18 its sloppy because i practice on plates as it is so i had to rough out this one by hand  while tracing other lines from last weeks lol

i may be aiming a tad small is the 10 a quarter or nickle? mines about a nickel size   (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8168/7470394052_a204741d79.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/32969666@N08/7470394052/)

Keep modifying the bow, hopefully by the time we finish this me and the bow will be ready for the hunt.

I warmed up for about a half hour shooting my new to me beautiful original condition 58 kodiak special for the first time.  This was a shot that I'm really familiar with being this is what I practiced every day for two months before spring turkey. I shot off of my tri-pod camo seat.  Made them count with a dead center 10 and a little left 8 for a week two 18.  Someday I will figure out how to post pictures on this site.  Why is it so hard every other forum that I'm on just has a button that says attach.

10 yards worked out nicely shooting diagonally in my man cave is about 7 yards.  With the family away I opened the door to the cave and shot across into the kids play room for 12 yards now.  Not sure if my daughter would approve of Hello Kitty downrange!
