Shot it this morning, but I'm on call today so no pics. First 2 shots were 8's. Backwards knee shot was a 6 and the single knee shot was a 4. 26 for me. I liked pretending I was hunting elk, but the imaginary elk steaks left me feeling hungry.

Apparently one of the more difficult practical challenges over the past couple of years.

This week I am a picture of what not to do.

Long day at work, exhausted from a run, kids finally in bed...

I sit down and chat with the mrs over a cold glass of some award winning micro brewed ale.  2.5 glasses later my wife reminds me I need to do the Fun shoot... I called it after all!  Feeling not unlike a child first trying to ride his bike I jump up and grab my paper targets, bow and arrows.  I run out and shoot, my wife laughing the whole way.  The first four go great, a 28! I'm feeling on top of the world, then realize shes laughing behind me.  I say "what?"  she said, you shot all four from your knees, never moved, same spot, same position...    :banghead:  

IT takes a second to click, but alas she is right.  She being the responsible one of the two of us, holds me to my shooting spots.  First two are fine, an 8 and 6.  Then I back up turn my knees away and forget myself a bit and shot a 4 just outside the line.  Pulling all my concentrative powers together, I shoot a six with the outside wall cutting and just inside the line.  

Having called this shoot I was hoping for much better this week, it being in my wheelhouse and something I practice every day.  But, given the circumstances I will bow for a 24.

Sorry for the crappy picture... we'll just say its a tad dark.

Thanks to all you who have participated, this has been alot of fun!

Well, I finally went out and shot this one.  Got to admit I was dreading it.  Turned out way better than I thought it would. Missed Number 3, but I can live with that.  Looks like a 22.

Well, after some practice in these positions and my 63 year old knees doing some whining, I finally got a few shots dialed in....before the thunderstorms.  28 for me this week.

How do we pick this?  Looks to me like Looper has the closest to center (not by much) hes also got the highest total.
