Gonna pass on this week as I can't shoot over 15 yards with the range set up as it is.

Just cant your bow more than normal, twist your body around, or something to add to the challenge. Just don’t over do it, neighbors don’t like your arrows! :roll:

shoot 2 at 15, shoot 1 kneeling or sitting, shoot 2 standing, it don't matter. The point of the post is participation not competition. its just something different than 30 shots nightly from standing at xxx yardage etc. trying to mix it up a little. Shoot the shots and post what you get!

finally, some shots worth pictures
25 yds. straight on 3 1/4" thankful for the one warmup shot from that distance (it was 10" low)
15 yds. from right of target = 1 1/2"
10 yds. from right = 2"
total = 6 3/4" may not be a winner but that's very good for me. Shot my 50# Timberhawk talon hunter to prep for the season, gave me some confidence.

5.75 total. Warm up was from 10. I accidentally did 10, 20 and 25 instead of 15. 10 yards was bull counted as a 00 but is maybe an 1/8 inch from center. 20 yard was 3.25 to center of arrow, hard to see from angle of phone. And 25 was 2.5 to center of arrow.

everyone seems to be shooting pretty well on this round. interesting how with the further distance shots overall appear to have a better average.

I think the one warm up shot makes a different. I'd have to add 4 inches if I had to include my warm.up.
