It is a tough challenge.. and a variation of the drill I use to practice. The actual challenge is really really hard and is from the book the witchery of archery.

Hard to believe Saturday is opening day and I can’t seem to get a chance to shoot an arrow, not one this week! But I have used that time to scout two different properties. Got to do that early because once mid day nears it’s too hot to step outside, especially with my target being in the sun! :roll: And I’m old! :oops:

Well got lucky again this week. Flung a few practice arrows and started challenge. 1 shot a 5 yards, 2 at 10 yards, 1 at 15 yards, and 2 at 20 yards. I'm sure someone here can get a perfect round though.

Finally began to get sighted in, thought I would try a few Broadheads before quitting. Now I am usually smarter than to walk around at different distances and angles shooting Broadheads but not today, third shot didn’t sound right, and it wasn’t!
