This week we're taking shots that I've missed on real hunts.
Shot 1 - 12 yards, kneeling (either knee or both). Do this one cold, no warm ups on the day of the shot.
Shot 2 - 23 yards (if you have the room), standing. warm ups are ok on this one.
Shot 3 - 10 yards kneeling on both knees. Put your butt on you heals, lean forward until your chest is nearly parallel with the ground and shoot with the bow horizontal. I apologize for this one, it hurts me too, but it stills keeps me up at night.
Shot 4 - 18 yards kneeling. set up some stakes between you and the target about 11 yards from the target. Set the stakes (shovels or whatever you can find) about 12" apart and shoot between them.
Oh Boy! :eek:
I'll be looking for some Divine intervention this week.
:pray:
;)
Week 8 and 9 Catch ups
week 8 total 8: two 4s and two misses. :thumbsup:
Thanks boys, getting excited for the 15th of Sep and the season opener in Nebraska....
Ugh, long week, will post catch up for week 9 and this week hopefully tomorrow.
Eric
I had such a bad day shooting this morning, I think I might wait until tomorrow. Well, I guess I have to for shot 1 anyhow...
4, 4, 6, 0 = 14
I messed up the shots a bit, but got the distances right.
My shooting today just outright sucked, even after warming up. Not that my scores show any worse than usual.
That does look like fun :D :eek: , and it will certainly bring my averages back down in a screaming heap :help:
Make up for week 9 ---- 12.

On call today, so no pics. Shot 1 was a line cutting 8 in the 6 o'clock position. Shot 2 was an 8 in the 5 o'clock position. Shot 3 was a line cutting 8 in the 3 o'clock position. Shot 4 was 6 in the 3 o'clock position. Not nearly the group I had last week. 30 for me.
This one was made for me, my best week yet
2 10's an an 8 and a 6(23 yarder). I shot through the gap of dowels in a broken chair.
34 ttl
FYI: I am likely bowing out. Its been fun and thank you very much! I'll be off hunting or distracted for several weeks, so no use trying to keep me up.
Thanks for all the work you put into it, looking forward to next year!
The 23 yarder was the Best Shot I had!! Wazzup with That? These, what I think will be, "ChipShots" BITE me in the Tukus EVERY Time! :banghead: :archer: (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/arrowmaker62/TradGang%20Fun%20Shoot%20June%20-%20July%202012/Week1082812_22Points.jpg)

Working with some new hunting arrows I got from a fellow TG'r. They are completely different from the arrows I have been shooting. I am impressed at how well they fly. My problem is getting use to the 57# bow as opposed to the 47# I have been shooting.
I don't know what happened with shot 4 other than I knew as soon as it was released it was not going to be good...poor form I guess.
Week 10 total...26 points

missed the 23 yard shot low
first shot was 10
total 22
All, it looks like everyone is getting busy.
I know with the holiday weekend coming and one of my kids families visiting I will be occupied.
Throw in aleck seasons and various bow seasons starting not counting scouting I propose that we call,this at the end of this 10 th week.
I'll try to keep up with the score and any late entries.
We got a late enough start that I would support this.
If some want to continue , no problem but no score sheet.
Ron
Catch-up from week 9 went better than I thought.
Shot 1 - 6
Shot 2 - 8
Shot 3 - 8
Total - 22
Week 10
Shot 1 - 8
Shot 2 - 10
Shot 3 - 8
Shot 4 - 6
Total - 32
looks like I better get this done. 22 for week 9 . I forgot that week 8 takes all day, Ill try to get that one tomorrow
double 8's and double 6's for me this week, Score = 28.
The 12 yarder and 23 yarder were my best shots.

I second the motion, Ron.
22 for week 10.
If this is the last week just wanted to say thanks, it's been fun, this has certainly stretched me and forced me to make improvements. The transition to L/Hand seems to be working. Onwards and upwards, and all the best for hunting season. Doesn't affect us the same in this neck of the woods.

Hey Mac, I am headed north for scouting purposes, and the upcoming opener on the 15th. Its been fun, Hope to have the tent up and smoke coming out the stove pipe by Fri Eve.
Regards, MM
You guys are doing great. I've fallen SO far behind getting into this new house I would never catch up. Sure was having fun though.
Keep up the fun all.

This was fun and can't wait until next year. This has helped me with shooting in different positions that will be handy in hunting situations. I just need to practice it more and I plan on making it a routine in my practice sessions.
Thanks for puting it on.
Mike

Really enjoyed doing this Fun Shoot. Looked forward to each weeks new challenge like a kid waiting for christmas. Thanks to everyone who took part and especially to Giff and Macbow for the results and organization.
It has really given me a new focus on my practice. Already looking forward to next year... And hopefully shooting better by then :)
Ok, thanks for all the work, good luck hunting and maybe one of these shots will pay off, hope it's not on one knee!
I forgot to post my score this week.

This is the final post.
rraming way to finish.
I have the totals in order. good shooting.
Looper takes top honors.
Way to finish, you got my score wrong, I posted a 22 on page 2, not a 34
:biglaugh:
You should know I can't shoot a 34 outside of 15 yards
It was fun and had 3 bad weeks, one shooting a longbow which I never do. I also shot with an eye patch just for fun!
That was a joke
Congratulations looper!
Nice shooting!
Congratulations looper! This was so much fun! Can't wait til next summer!
