I have been able to finally get out and enjoy some stump shooting. I am not great at documenting the process like some others. I finally remembered a camera when I took my youngest shorthair for a long walk. We were able to set up a new ground blind in an area some turkeys used last spring as a roosting area. On the way back I stopped and sat on a big hemlock trunk that had been left and took a shot.
My elbow looks a bit high, but my back was tired from running a chainsaw for several hours on Sat.(at least I'll use that as my excuse). I lined up on a patch of dirt with a dark spot in it under a root.
If you look close in the above pict you might be able to see a nock.
I paced it off at 27 yards.
I always seem to shoot farther distances when I am out roaming the woods. I choose targets that look reasonably close and am always surprised when I pace them off. Which is funny because when I shoot 3d with my wheelie toting buddies I am usually within a yard or two of estimating the distance when I think about it that way. I t was nice getting back out and walking in the woods without a lot of snow, though it isn't all gone.
