For week 5 we are going to take 4 shots. The goal of these shots or what my goal is, was to get the distances to change up in between each shot and make you focus on that spot more.
You'll get 6 warm up shots like last time form 15 yards.
Shot one is going to be at 14 yards standing.
Shot two is going to be at 20 yards kneeling
Shot three is going to be at 15 yards standing
Shot four is going to be at 19 yards kneeling on one knee.
Hope you enjoy, Schafer

Scored 14.
After the first shot was a 10 I was feeling pretty good... Missed both kneeling shots, and pulled the 15 yard shot to the left... Must relax bow arm!!

I am enjoying this way more than seems possible, and it is certainly adding a new element to my practice, but man I wish I was shooting better :(
Here's my 30. It's too humid to shoot and I didn't feel like hunting up a new plate.

Shot in the heat of 97* this afternoon,although not as hot as the center of our nation :cool:
A pair of 6's and a four for a grand total of 16... got er done..... :D
the sixes were the 14 and 15 yd shot, the 4 was a kneeling 20 and the one knee 19 was a miss, :knothead:
little more warming up works for targets but not realistic when it comes to hunting..... :eek:
Don't know how you want to score that top one.Its either 16 or 20 you be the judge.
(http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k552/battman10/100_3429.jpg)
I scored it a 20.

Schafer
Wifes gone with the camera, shot 6,6,6,4 = 22. I'll add a pic when she gets back. More shooting, less time at the beach is in order!
Gonna shoot tomorrow before work and try and post in the evening.
Eric
Okay, so this is FUN right?
I shot the warm-ups and felt pretty good. I took a break and hung up the target I drew on a piece of copy paper.
I then missed with 9 shots in a row, YES - 9 arrows in a row did not even touch the paper!
I will not commemorate this ignomeous feat with a photo.
My week 5 is an official and frustrated 0.
Well here is both of mine week 4 and 5 I was on vacation with the family last week sorry. I guess I can use week 4 plate for week 6's shoot. cause I never touched it. LOL OK know I cant remember how to get my photos from my photobuchet to here please help Mike
(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a449/MathewsRezeen/005-1.jpg) I dont know what happen to this one but as you can see its all on one side of the target wounder why Mike big 0
Go to your photobucket page and click on the picture you want to copy. To the right, you'll notice a green box that has a line for "HTML code" and "IMG code". Click on the "IMG code" box. This will automatically copy the text in that box.
Now go to the text box on Tradgang. Click where you want to post the picture and hit the "CTRL" button and "V" at the same time. That will insert the code for the picture automatically.
(http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a449/MathewsRezeen/007.jpg)here is week 5 it was a litle better I got a 24 on this one week 4 was a big 0

10 - the kneeling thing really messed me up, bad news is 15 yards is my best range, shooting does not show it
Week 5, 18 points.
(http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz111/pege66/tgfsw5.jpg)
Need to give 2nd try. Huge improvement, Just like week 4.
(http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz111/pege66/tgfsw52.jpg)
Maybe I have "clean plate panic- syndroma" or not. ;)
Another sucky week. I managed two 4's, for an 8. One barely clipped the edge, the other about an inch from the edge. Not worth a pic.
I shot a 6,8,4,6 total of 24 for week 5 still no hit in the 10 for me!
First off I learned a lesson which I already knew...practice shots standing I was stackin' em. Heard an arrow slap together but did not check the nocks when I pulled them. Needless to say on my fifth practice shot my Widow made a bad sound and the arrow landed at my feet :scared: Check your nocks!
Anyway, I looked the bow over and things seemed OK. Took my shots, 10,4,6 and a whiff for a 20 this week, little nervous after that I think.
Eric
ps My camera and computer only seem to get along every few days.
Yeah, you've got to watch that. I'm glad you didn't damage your bow. Make sure you check around the tips for any little cracks in the glass. It's easy to miss them with the string on.
I hit my stride on shot 3, helped along a little by my 23/64" shafts. big is beautiful.
shot 1 = 6
shot 2 = 6
shot 3 = 10
shot 4 = 10
week 5 total = 32
(http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb336/gringol/IMAG0150.jpg)
Week 5
Shot 1 - 4
Shot 2 - 6 almost an 8
Shot 3 - 4
Shot 4 - 6
Total - 20
My computer is messed up so I can't use Photobucket on it. My phone will not let me load Photobucket to these threads.
Week 5
Two pair ,two 6's and two 4.s Score 20
With the scores ive been shooting I need to start playing poker. :bigsmyl: (http://%20[url=http://images.imagelinky.com/1343264315.JPG%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://images.imagelinky.com/1343264315.JPG)[/url] [/IMG]
high practice round for me 32 yahoo, now to put it in the proper place. Week wise.
Just found this thread and it looks like fun. Can I join in now in week 5?
K.C. <><
sorry, no new shooters after week 4
For the fun of it just follow along on your own.
Your guaranteed to,do better than those of us afflicted with facing the target and trying too hard to get a good score.
Here is the latest data. Should be some more before the days over.

Sorry about no pictures. I haven't been able to shoot in the past week and a half because of work and final exams for summer semester of grad school. Anyway here are the results after 6 warm up shots:
Week 4: A 4, an 8, a 6, and another 4 for 22.
Week 5: An 8, an 8, an 8, and a 4 for 28.
Well I'm turning in my week #4 and week #5. After my girlfriend witnessed this mess and I was done she had to remind me this is a fun shoot. I love it how she always keeps me on track.
Bkyrdshooter Week#4 = 16
(http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j439/bkyrdshooter/PTDC0037.jpg)
Bkyrdshooter Week#5 = 20
(http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j439/bkyrdshooter/PTDC0040.jpg)
I'm ready for week #6 bring it on!!
Wk 5 score = 4. The weather, and me (after being sick) have finally cleared up. Not that that helped the arrows going where they should. Clearly I need to learn some humility, as in, be better on my knees. I completely missed both knee shots :dunno:
Of course more time to practice would be nice. It is still fun though and there is some mighty fine shooting on display is aspire to.
(http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w398/Meilaq/P1000654.jpg)
Week 5 puts a 24 on the score sheet. Sorry for waiting until the end of the week.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/soulmates31/FunShootWeek5.jpg)
10, 8, line cutting 8, and a line cutting 6. That's good for me.
Put me in for a 32.
Matt

As Bad as I hate to say it, My Week 4 was a GooseEgg. :( I had Roofers all over the Yard, Thank You God :thumbsup:
That and other complications that popped up, I just didnt have the Time to Shoot Week 4. :banghead: Dang It. :banghead: I WILL Shoot Week 5 Though!! To Be Continued...... :goldtooth:

Sad shooting for me.
14
You can see my 20 yard shot off on the left.
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/Equismith/stuff727001.jpg)
I got frustrated and set up the deer target, what's left of it anyway, and shot 4 from 20 kneeling.
I felt betterafter that.

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/Equismith/stuff727002.jpg)
This dot stuff messes with my head.
Later I broke out the bow I've owned the longest. 33 years.
15 yards standing after a tuning session. Two fliers.
I should start shooting this one. :knothead:

A miss on the last shot is costly.....18 points for Week 5. That shot on one knee needs work.
This is the latest with some I missed before. Last up date till wk 6

Is it my call for week 6?
Very cool. Of course, I would be using a trash can lid as a target to get me started . . .
Go for it gringol....
I think Schafer has to pull a name out since there are two 32's
Ron
giff I found your week 4 and 5
Are we waiting for schafer to break the tie?
Pretty keen to try and get the shoot done this weekend, weather forecast is bad all next week over here....
(http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh534/TyCogburn/11609d1d.jpg)
26 for me on week 5. Sorry it took so long! I'm ready for the next shot. Great shooting everyone.

Yep, need to pull names from a hat. I have some good ones if I am picked. Who else has 100# bows? If not, duct tape two 50#s together.
