and finally round 12 for another 28 3 in a row.I`ve never shot cross legged or from my stomach before but it wasn`t as hard as I thought.For on my stomach I came to anchor and rested my elbow on the ground then released my fingers and hit a 8

I've been waiting to shoot this ultra challenge for 2 days while we have had nonstop rain. The rain let up this morning and I went out and took my 4 practice shots, then put up the plate. First shot was an 8. Second shot was low for a line cutting 6. Third shot was another 6. Fourth shot was a line cutting 8. Giving me a 28 for the final round. T shirt and shorts are soaked from the wet grass, so I took a picture and came inside to upload and change into dry clothes.
This has been really fun, and I have started to incorporate many of the more unusual shots into my practice. Thanks to all of you!

If they were combined that wouldn't be a bad score!
I'm having trouble with photobucket. I don't know if I'll get pics up or not. The eight in round 12 was the grouse. At least I had a little something to eat!
This has really been fun and an eye opener. I knew I had trouble with shots past 18 yds but this was rediculous. And that face down shot wasn't so bad. I tried it a couple more times and hit the plate.
Thank you organizers, let's do it again next summer!

Well I changed that guide's mind real fast...I didn't hit a dang thing all day until I saved his arse from the bear...didn't have the heart to photograph, but I finished with a six. On the bright side, I did complete my heavier cedar arrows for hunting and am having an interesting time getting to know them (they average 515 grains which is about 120 grains more than my carbon 3D/field set).

And here we are at 04:30 pm, Sunday Aug 21, 2011. gto_guy has overtaken looper by an outer-ring, and I don't think anyone is going to catch him! Proclaiming gto_guy overall winner unless anyone proves otherwise (I guess canshooter could give him a run after his daughter's wedding, or Imabowman could start shooting again and crush everyone, but I don't know if anyone will still be paying attention). I'll update and replace as new scores come in--feel free to keep shooting and posting! Great shooting everyone! Cheers, Brett (spread-sheeter AND spread-shooter!)

Looper, are you a professional writer? If not you could be. I didn't read the scenarios before but wanted to make sure I did before the thread got lost.
Very entertaining! Thanks!

No, not a professional writer. I do enjoy it, though.
Congrats, gto-guy! I knew I should have tried a little harder on that last round. Not to make excuses, but I did have a peanut gallery (my wife) making fun of me. Shooting from the ground is hard enough without someone calling you a "floundering seal" and asking me "Do I need to call the neighbor to help get you up?" and "You look like a Buddha." Not helpful at all.

Just got back from vac.Looper I know what u mean.It`s a lot easier when you don`t have anyone around laughing at you.I can`t believe I won this thing.I know I`m not that great of a shot and canshooter would definitely be the winner if he started with us at the beginning.Whats everyone think about doing another?
