Yeah, a 3 under grip makes those shots a little tougher, doesn't it?
Gto-guy, I guess you can start one anytime you're ready to. Do you plan on keeping the same format, or doing something different?

Alright dive me a few days and I`ll come up with something.Brett does that mean that you would be kind enough to do the scoring for the next shoot too?

This is posted as an after thought, knowing how some struggled from shooting on their backs, having to get a deep hook on the string to hold the arrow to the bow prior to release.
Fast forward to the Trad Bowhunter Mag, picture of Ishi on the front cover (Nov 2011 issue) check out his bow hand and which side of the bow his arrow is on. Looks like he wouldn't have an issue from his back shooting said deer.....

I tried shooting off the other side of the bow and promptly launched an arrow over my target, through the woods, without touching a thing, I might add, and very nearly hit my neighbor's truck. A deep hook works for me, but I'm not near accurate enough to try a shot at anything. On, my belly, yes. Last year, I shot a big ground hog after stalking up to him on my hands and knees. I nailed him while laying on my stomach.
I honestly don't recall ever, in 30 years of hunting, having to shoot something from my back. Not that it's not fun to shoot that way, but I just don't see the point in it, other than for novelty.

Years ago I read an article on a sheep hunt and if I recall it was Jim Brackenbury that had to lay on his back in a small crevice waiting for the ram to pass him then he slightly elevated himself and made the shot.
God bless, Mudd
