To prepare yourself, take 6 practice shots from 15 yards.
Shot #1 is from 20 yards. You'll be shooting bent at the waist, with your bow canted at a 45* angle.
Shot #2 is from 17 yards. You'll shoot while standing with your feet facing directly away from the target.
Shot #3 is from 14 yards. Shoot this one on your knees with the bow horizontal to the ground.
Shot #4 is from 11 yards. Shoot this one sitting down on the ground.
Good luck.

Good choice of shots Looper, this should be a nice challenge :)
Post by: gringol on July 13, 2012, 07:19:00 PM
Do we get 6 practice shots the day we shoot for score, or 6 practice shots total?
Elknutz, 24 seems pretty darn respectible to me...

The kneeling with the horizontal bow got me this time. I sent it high.

I laughed when my 4th arrow hit where it did, cause I was totally expecting to miss the target with it. The sitting shot is a butt kicker with a 66"long bow. I shot under the block my first two warmups, sitting at 15yds, cause my limb tip hit ther ground. This proves the old blind hog finding acorns idea.

Total = 22
Best shot from the rump.... least fun shot from the 180* twist.... the should-a-been shot #1 (but it wasnt)
Post by: elkbreath on July 14, 2012, 06:40:00 PM
The first shot went according to plan, 45 degree angle is nearly my native tendency, I generally shoot right when I cant more then usual. Nailed it this time The backward shot gave me hell, turning into my prerequisite flyer for the group.
:banghead:
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/elkbreath/IMG_1945.jpg)
Third shot was great, I practice that exact shot and distance all the time, fourth one I released a tad early.
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/elkbreath/IMG_1946.jpg)
In the end it looks like this.
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/elkbreath/IMG_1947.jpg)
The bottom shot in the center, I think deserves an 8. I believe the paper tore into the line due to the lightness of the paper not because of impact. you be the judge
I'll claim two 6's an 8 and a ten.
30 ttl
amazing how often we 'cut the line'.

The 4 pointer was shot #3. Gonna have to practice that one.

I want to thank the OP. Because of this friendly competition I have been shooting almost every day from different angles and distances also sitting, kneeling, etc. Just any scenario I can think of. I actually feel myself getting better...Thanks!
Oh yeah...I also found I shoot better first thing in the morning.

Shot one was off the planet, #two was 8 by a whisker, #three was 4 and #four was a 6.
maybe if I face away from the target every time...
Post by: rraming on July 17, 2012, 05:24:00 PM
Went to a longbow this week, payed off big, 20 yard miss, 17 was the only hit for 6, that stupid sitting junk shot went under my arm guard. You guys take shots like this?
6 for me
Post by: huntin_sparty on July 17, 2012, 08:12:00 PM
26 for me this week
2 8s
1 6
1 4
Have yet to see the 10 spot!
Thanks Ron for all the work keeping score!
Post by: Drewster on July 17, 2012, 08:22:00 PM
Some scary bad shooting on my part, but great experience with some very different shots for me and new lessons learned. Good call!
A pitiful 10 points :-(
Post by: macbow on July 18, 2012, 11:08:00 AM
Maybe it would help if I tried concentrating on the spot. 4, 4, 6 = 14

First shot was low and left.
Second shot was a 4
Third shot was off to the right and gave myself a smack in the mouth!
Last shot was a disappointment with another 4. I actually feel fairly comfortable shooting from sitting but I guess tonight was not a great one for me :(
At least I hit the plate I guess!

If any can't see the 4th arrow it missed completely and is hidden behind the front leg.
I gave it a second go just to make myself feel better. See second pic (for a 12).

Thanks PowDuck, turns out TooManyHobbies had the same luck as me. Always room for improvement and more practice. Looking forward to good weather, longer days and Wk 5
I came REAL close to doing it on this shoot. 3 of my 4 shots missed completely. I had to do the same thing and take a second shot just to try and redeem myself.
That's what makes this a FUN SHOOT. Enjoy!!
