Ok, I think we may get enough interest in this to make it fun. I'll run this one and if it's a hit I'll try and keep them going each month. Only caveat is I have to travel to El Paso mid April to later May, so if we do a May shoot I may need some help or move it to the end of the month. Ok, on to details:

What you'll need:
- A sheet of paper (at least 8 1/2" x 11")
- A 2", 4", 6", and 8" diameter circle (I raided the kitchen and found them in 2 minutes)
- 20 yrd shooting space tops (this months is 15 yrds to start it off)

Next:
Trace the appropriate diameter objects. Id start at the 8" and work down to keep them evenly spaced circles. Example picture at bottom. In one corner write that shoots parameters i.e. Range - 15 yrds and position - standing for this month. (If we keep at it we'll alter the range and circumstances, i.e. Kneeling, elevated, etc.)

Center ring is 10 points, 4" ring is 8 points, 6" ring is 6 points, 8" ring is 4 points. No points for rest of paper.

Rules:
3 shots, cold or warmed up
Standing (this month)
Hole has to break that points line to count
15 yards (this month)
You'll have the whole week to make your shots, but only the 1st three count (this months shoot is closed on April 11th)
And... Pics or it didnt happen

What you win? Nothing but fun. Try and get your bow and gear in the pic. Do your own honest math and post points in your post. Feel free to add any environmental info as well, this is also a good time to see what folks are up to these days.

Managment:
Ok, so right below this post will be a "Participants" thread. If you say youre in I'll add your handle to the list. After you shoot I'll edit your points next to your name.

   

Here's an example of one I made on PowerPoint. The only trouble I had was ensuring the circles were the right size. It took a little toying around with:

Participants for April:

**You have from Monday, April 4th a.m. thru Sunday, April 10th p.m. to shoot (1 round, 3 arrows), and post picture to this thread with your total score.**                                                                                                        

Conditions for April:

I hate shooting dots, but dots don't lie!   .
Shooting my self made KennyM bow 51#@28", with gt blems from Big Jim with 195 up front.
Did I mention I hate shooting dots! Lol

I'm in

Count me in.

Well I didn't get my wesley tuned in time so I shot my toelke super d. 35 pounds at my 26" draw length. Shot a 24! good shooting guys!

I'm in.

My results.  Not bad for not much practice.. I was shooting my new to me Centaur(got its 2 days ago).   It is 62" #52@29 with some Full Length .400 spined  blood sport arrows with 175 grains up front.  515 grains total arrow weight.  





I am guessing we are doing a point system.. 26 points here.

OK, here is my target.  It should be easy to best.

My build, ASL 68" NTN, 43# @28"
Full length poplar shafts turned in a Veritas 190 gr points

   

I'm in.

Shot a lot better Friday but overall not too bad. Shooting a Bodnik Slick Stick 60" 50# @ 28" and CE Heritage 150's with 250gr up front, total weight 605gr.

24 points

Sounds like fun. I'm in

"I'm in"

Round #1...62" Dryad Orion

Score - 28

I'll give it a go.
I used to do this a lot on airgun and pistol forums.

Can I use the CAD-generated target I just made, instead of a hand-drawn pencil & crayon target?

Pockets: sure as long as the circles are the proper size. The hand drawn option is just to make it more inclusive for people without access to premade targets or printers, etc. Since there's no points outside of the 8" circle it can theoretically be on any sized paper > 8".

I'll try it.

Sounds like fun I'm in.

Put me in.

PLEASE PULL ME OUT.
Thought I'd be ready by now.

I'll give it a go.

Jeff


Not my best shooting but here it is. Centaur longbow
