Great call Bowbender!  This one's gonna be fun.  It's weird too, I was listening to that exact song on a CD on my way home from work today!  I won't be able to shoot any video, but I'll get my attempt in pretty soon.

I wish I could see it! I have to have Flash Player and can't figure out how to do that. I printed out some "trouble shooting" instructions but I don't understand Greek. When my computer guru gets home from work maybe I can see the video.
:(

Going for it tonight if the rain holds off. Great call bowbender. This one ought to be challenging for a gap shooter like myself. At least my arrows are easy to find when they make it past my target.

Great video and backround music

Even my computer guru can't get the Flash Player going! This really BITES!

     :mad:

Now that was cool video! One of my favorite CCR's with frogs and crickets in the background, and the suspense of each shot. Thanks for going to the trouble and sharing it with us!!

Thank you, I had a blast making it.

 :confused:

When do we have till to do this shot?
I might have to convince the wife that I won't burn the house down, but I'd like to try it...

I think it goes until Friday before the next one.

it has rained every night like the 40 year flood hear. If it stops one night before we move I will.

Rain here too. Just looked outside and it's raining again. If it quits I'm gonna try it tonight. Paul<><

HEY! I just noticed, The man responsible for this thread ( 2Knives ) is absent. I hope everything is OK at the 2Knives household. Was he redeployed to Iraq or something like that?

I'm gonna do this tonight.I'll try to get it on video too.

unclewhit,
        As a matter of fact I think I remember 2Knives saying something about being redeployed.

2Knives,
       If ya get a chance to peek in here stay safe and keep your head down brother!

Got set up.  Put the candle in a plastic water bottle and wedge it in place with a piece of styrofoam.  

I only have 3 arrows made up so I'll have to pull them once if I happen to miss on the first go round.  

The camera is charged and just waiting for it to get dark now.  In the meantime I will be prepping for victory over the flame.    

Keep the candle an arrow length away from the backstop.  You don't want to burn a shaft.

Just looks close in the photo.  It's actually a 3 foot tall candle and big around as a baseball bat.  The flame should be about the size of a dinner plate. Now if I actually snuff the flame I'll swear it is a birthday cake candle    

just kidding it is a regular candle you would put on the table and it's about 3 feet in front of the hay bales.

Well,heres my attempt. VABowbender, good call buddy this was a riot! My son and I sat outside and shot at that candle for an hour!

I shot at the flame this evening. My husband shot the video. This was tooooo fun!

Close but no cigar.  Hey, it was windy and the wind kept moving the flame on me otherwise I would have nailed it.

Left my candle in the backyard so I can try again toimarrow night.  It was a blast and if I ever snuff that sucker man o man I'd be proud.

Those videos are cool. Wish I could do video. Well here's my attempt. I shot 6 times from a standing position at 17 yds. Used my osage selfbow for this one. I thought those 11/32 cedars with the big shield cuts might help me out a little. I managed to put a couple through the flame but as you can see I didn't snuff it out. This was a fun one. I'll be after it until I put it out.
