Tradgang Virtual Shoot (Apr 4 - Apr 10)
« on: March 08, 2016, 08:19:00 PM »
Ok, I think we may get enough interest in this to make it fun. I'll run this one and if it's a hit I'll try and keep them going each month. Only caveat is I have to travel to El Paso mid April to later May, so if we do a May shoot I may need some help or move it to the end of the month. Ok, on to details:

What you'll need:
- A sheet of paper (at least 8 1/2" x 11")
- A 2", 4", 6", and 8" diameter circle (I raided the kitchen and found them in 2 minutes)
- 20 yrd shooting space tops (this months is 15 yrds to start it off)

Next:
Trace the appropriate diameter objects. Id start at the 8" and work down to keep them evenly spaced circles. Example picture at bottom. In one corner write that shoots parameters i.e. Range - 15 yrds and position - standing for this month. (If we keep at it we'll alter the range and circumstances, i.e. Kneeling, elevated, etc.)

Center ring is 10 points, 4" ring is 8 points, 6" ring is 6 points, 8" ring is 4 points. No points for rest of paper.

Rules:
3 shots, cold or warmed up
Standing (this month)
Hole has to break that points line to count
15 yards (this month)
You'll have the whole week to make your shots, but only the 1st three count (this months shoot is closed on April 11th)
And... Pics or it didnt happen

What you win? Nothing but fun. Try and get your bow and gear in the pic. Do your own honest math and post points in your post. Feel free to add any environmental info as well, this is also a good time to see what folks are up to these days.

Managment:
Ok, so right below this post will be a "Participants" thread. If you say youre in I'll add your handle to the list. After you shoot I'll edit your points next to your name.

     

Here's an example of one I made on PowerPoint. The only trouble I had was ensuring the circles were the right size. It took a little toying around with:

My results.  Not bad for not much practice.. I was shooting my new to me Centaur(got its 2 days ago).   It is 62" #52@29 with some Full Length .400 spined  blood sport arrows with 175 grains up front.  515 grains total arrow weight.  

 

 

I am guessing we are doing a point system.. 26 points here.

I'll give it a go.
I used to do this a lot on airgun and pistol forums.

Can I use the CAD-generated target I just made, instead of a hand-drawn pencil & crayon target?

Pockets: sure as long as the circles are the proper size. The hand drawn option is just to make it more inclusive for people without access to premade targets or printers, etc. Since there's no points outside of the 8" circle it can theoretically be on any sized paper > 8".
