three in a leaf...
« on: October 12, 2013, 02:18:00 PM »
little game I used to play...with my Dad and my Son...it is fun, and also makes you a better archer.

the idea is the shooter gets the chance to put "3 in a leaf"...out or ten or twenty tries who has the most.

you would be surprised how much your accuracy improves with a little friendly competition...

 

and better yet your success rate on shots...

any hit even close is a kill...but for me it does help get rid of some bad habits or tendencys shooting...

of course hunting conditions are always different, but knowing your bow and its capabilities is a good thing...

we used to even go a step farther and make a "called shot"...like shooting on your knees, behind a tree etc...

all the best...t

Looks like fun . My brother in law and I play pick the shot and take turns calling the shot and see which one can make it .
