Shooting Challenge

Well it looks like I had a good round but not so, I pulled off a big boo-boo somehow, my third shot went wild! Stuck in ground nowhere near the target! Still don’t know what happened . Anyway, this was first, second, and fourth shots of the day. So I’m out, no way to measure to where my arrow hit.

I think Dave is the winner this week. From now on, Please post your shot total with your pictures so its easier to determine.

Not very good, even my warmup was low.
Good shooting Dave.

Alright for this week we are going to dispense with the bottle cap and change it up a bit. This challenge is gonna hopefully have a bit more shooting involved. Draw a 4" circle on your target (peanut butter lid is a good template for this) and mark off distances of 5, 10, 15 and 20 yards from your target. Starting at 5 and working your way back to 20 yards shoot as many arrows as it takes to get 1 arrow in the 4" circle at each distance (take a picture of each). The lowest number of shots total (combined) at all distances wins. The lowest numberof shots possible will be 4 obviously and if we have a tie. I have a tie breaker if needed. There will be no measurements of closest to center, as any shot in the circle counts. Example: if it takes 2 shots at 5 yards, 1 at 10, 3 at 15 and 4 at 20 your score would be 10 total. You are welcome to practice before hand so this does not have to be cold. However, once you start the challenge do not stop until complete.

Sounds fun! Does the arrow just need to cut the line of the circle to be considered a hit?

For ease of telling if it's in or not lets go with fully in the circle.

Cool, Looking forward to flinging many arrows! Hope my shoulder will last long enough!

Should be able to get my shots in tonight

Wow..... this week sucked. Starting at 5 yards, I shot low all the way out to 20. Tried picking a spot on the screw at the center of 4" target but couldn't see it or pick a spot. I'm going to try this again later with the bottle cap and see if I can keep them within 2 inches around it and start at 20. This was alot tougher challenge than I thought it would be. Good one Dave. I have 3 arrows I practice with. Too many shots and walking trips fighting my dogs to take a picture of each. I did hit 1 hole twice.
