Kodiakkid,
Yeah, be very carefull, that ping pong ball can get very frustrating.
I really like those shield cut feathers of yours.
I guess I'm gonna have to buy a feather burner.

Ya know I had a feel'n this was a come'n.

Hitting a ping pong ball was hard enough, now this!  Can a "Gobbler Guillotine" be used, not that I have any?

HOLY CRAP, I DID IT!
On the first round, third shot I hit the card.  I shot from about 15 yards.  I shot a second round and I was close but not as good as the first round.  Then I moved back to my usual 20 yard shooting position and said to myself "what the hell, have at it".



On the third round, third shot I hit it dead on it's edge!  I knew I should have had the video camera out there today.



Notice the card on the ground.



Arrow in-line with stick to hold card.



You can see the tear in the edge of the card in this picture.

YEEEEEHAW!!! great job!
I was able to put the card back in my wallet, not a scratch on it. I bet if I had used one of my credit cards I'Da cut that sucker right in half.
Now, the reason that I didn't take pics',is that I was getting complete pass-throughs with my shots. This was the first time that I had ever shot broadheads at my bag target,imagin my suprise. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I shot 5 or 6 more times with the same results, go figure. Iv'e never had a pass-through with my field points. I guess the broadheads are cutting thier way through and the field points are trying to push thier way through.

Good shot VA! I may have to try this one.

kodiakkid

Well I probably shot another 50 times. I've had that little white sucker dancing but I've yet to stick it. Those little black mosquitos have forced me to quit shootin for today. I'll be back at it first thing in the morning right after I try splittin the buisness card. I know I can stick it cause thats how I wound up with the ball. It was a novelty shoot at 1 of the local 3-d shoots. Course I was shootin my crow creek longbow with carbons. Plus the ball was suspended on a tight line, not free swinging. I'll give out before I give up! Paul<><
Always strive to do the right thing. Don't beat yourself down when you mess up. Ask for forgivness and keep on keeping on.

Hope this works. First time posting a video clip.
This was NOT my first shot it was the fourth. First 3 just missed. 1-2 high and just left 3 just right. 12 yrds kneeling.

EricW

Hey cool it worked. Shooting a old Locksley semi recurve 40@28" 1916 Easton Blues with Muzzy Phantom heads 125gn.

Cool vid Eric!!! Heres my try at it, I used my Saxon American #55 @ 28" with 620 grain ceders tipped with grizzly 160's. My first shot just to the right, my second hit the nock of the arrow I was holding the card with and it fluttered to ground. So I shot my third at where I thought the card used to be and it went in the split I made with the second arrow.



mooseman1967

I think that bow likes 12 yards and I posted my pics out of order OOPS!

EricW

Good lookin bow Dave. Don't think I've seen that one yet.

mooseman1967

Eric I'll bring it next weekend down to Big Indian shoot, it sure hits hard with those heavy arrows and you know I like my longbows but this one has more of a longbow style grip so it feels about the same.

I am late with my ping pong shot but thought I post it any way. Just got caught up on all the postings, nice shooting guys. Oh, and Leo your video was funny as hell. Man just had one of those weeks and didn't get to shoot until Friday evening and then our Internet connection was running real slow.
 Well here is my first two shots standing at 15yrds at ping pong ball.

Fist shot was about 3-4in high to the left a little.

My second shot was all luck, I hit the ball in the bottom right hand corner and it flung on the string over my first shot arrow. I couldn't believe it. I thought with my third shot that I would center that ball good, no way, I must of shot forty more time at it, what luck.

Took a little chip out of it. That was a fun call to shoot, thanks bowsander.

I cut out a piece of paper the size of a business card to use. Turns out in the Al. humidity, it got a little damp and drooped here and there. I shot at it anyhow.

FIRST shot...  

 

How'd I manage to do that and not cut it?!?!?!

Second shot.  

Third shot.  

I give up. Hah!

I decided to glue on a couple old Bear razorheads for this one.

1st shot low but dead on left and right. The broadhead cut the shaft holding the card.

I know it's a 1 shot challenge but I couldn't help myself. 2cd shot just about 1 1/2 inches to the left.

Gotta get ready for church but I'll be back after this one this afternoon. Paul<><

This isn't "THE" shot of the day but it was MY first shot of the day, yesterday.



The one to the right was the first shot of the day. I may have had an unfair advantage. He only had one eye and I shot him on his blind side!
