Ok so i don't know where better to say this then on here. This happened a few months ago in the dead of winter when i took a bow that i had just made over to my girlfriends house to range. So i was shooting into her neighbors backyard (after asking them of course) to see how far i could shoot with it and was coming up at about 80 yards. That was when i started to actually aim for things in there yard thinking i would never hit them.... Never a good idea. Try this shot... 80 yards with a 8# @ 28 and hit a hanging bird feeder..... Thankfully it was only an eight pound bow and only left a little mark. I've since found somewhere better to test out the 40#....  

How's the shooting going?

Kodiakid calls the next shot. But we have until Friday with the business card shot, right?

I'll be trying to come up with something. Paul<><

I'll go ahead and post next weeks shot. How about 18 yds, kneeling  
and try to shoot into the mouth of a 16 or 20 ounce plastic drink bottle

I forgot to mention I am feeling generous so I'll give ya 6 shots. And here is my try at it. Not much of a try though. LOL

How many tries? two, three, maybe four hundred?

6 shots mooseman. I forgot to mention that in the first post but I did get it in my second post. It may take me 400 tries to get an arra in the mouth of the bottle. LOL

Got my 150 grain screw-in Woodmans in today!  Not too bad I guess, but I gotta practice with broadheads more often.  I forgot how unforgiving they can be compared to field tips.  In case you're wondering about the sideways string, that's the yarn from the ping pong shot still clinging to the target.  I had to turn the target on its side to get the card in a vertical position.

So, did anyone ever get penetration on the ping pong ball? Iv'e been trying ever since the challenge was set, I can make it dance, but we could still play a round of table tennis with it. It sure is fun trying though

I stuck it, but only after A LOT of tries.  I didn't take a photo of it.  I guess looking back I should have.  Oh well, I have 3 ping pong balls left.  Maybe I can stick one of them and get a pic of it as proof.  At any rate, it is entirely possible to do with field tips.

Success (sorta)
Well I finally killed the sucker!

Now seeing this is "HONOR system" I have to tell ya, this was the 2nd round of three. On the fourth shot I centered the ball. Also as you can see in the picture I steadied the ball with 4 small nails.

With that in mind I'll not lay claim to the next shot, unless no one else does better before time runs out on this shot.


I will keep trying in the proper challenge though.

Side note:
On my first attempt I used a Pittsley Predator 54# @ 30", second attempt was a Fred Bear Cusom TD 54# @ 30", third attempt was a AMF Wing Red Wing Hunter 60# @ 30". All shot with Gold Tip 5575 w/250gr field tips.


 

Got it just a few moments ago. No telling how many times I shot and how much dancing it done but I finally got it.  I'm still after the sideways card. I'll give out for I give up.  Bowbender you gonna be at the S.T.A.R. shoot this weekend?  Paul<><

hehehehehehehe    :D  

Well after posting I had to go out and try to do it again.  It happened on the 6th arrow of this group.  It was probably around the 20th arrow of the session.  Not a good group mind you, but I killed the ping pong ball.  Now I have 2 ping pong balls left.  When it's my turn to call again I need to come up with a creative shot to use them up.

I had to make a choice between STAR and ATAR, I chose ATAR.

Good shot Paul

This is my 3rd shot, once I got my set up right.

High and outside. I was going to use a broadhead but my target is getting too chewed up, so I used a field point. Nice shooting Chester. I see some of you guys centered that ping pong ball,nice! I am still trying to pin that little burger to the bale.

No shooting before work today.  It's raining so hard it looks like a cow peeing on a flat rock.  

Good shootin Chester    

Yeah I know, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
