Tradgang Virtual Shoot (April) Information/Questions Thread (AND GENERAL CHAT)

[Cavscout9753]

Monterey: yep, I'll fish through and post scores next to names in the first thread with all the participants in it.

[Cavscout9753]

Monterey getting it first out the gate. I scored that a 12, if wrong just let me know.

For everyone else, because camera angles are what they are, and it can be hard to see, just post your total points with your post. If theres any argument they can be addressed, though I appeal to your maturity.

[monterey]

Oh yeah, that's a 12 alright.  Let's see the rest of ya beat That  

[Cavscout9753]

Alright, things are off to a great start! I'm hoping to make my shots this afternoon (after an extensive warm up!). I'm loving seeing the bows, arrow set ups, and even target set ups that folks are using - that may be the best part of all of this.
Again, just double check the score I post for you and make sure I didn't mess up - doing a lot of it from a smart phone so mistakes are inevitable. If you don't want to seem like a public quibbler just PM me, its no big deal.
I'll keep scanning the thread as much as possible, and also bumping it since editing a post wont bump it. If it's been a few hours and your score hasn't updated, no worries, I'll make my rounds at some point. I printed off all of the shooters so I can keep track of whose done what. Good luck all!

Scores are pouring in and there's some ringers out there! Sometimes it's interesting to see what folks grab in a time like this, especially when they have a whole stable of bows to pick from! Some cool sticks out there. Of course, you can always do like newhouse114 and bring the whole gang out! No shame in that! And he's deadly with them each it seems. I wish we had bonus points for adding video, I enjoyed watching your shots newhouse!
One things for certain, more than a few of us need to update our targets! Seeing my block posted in a pic really shows just how "care-worn" its becoming! Haha. We'll wait for one of the missus better moods before dropping a new target purchase on her!
As you can see, here at cavscout HQ, the highest levels of integrety and detail are going into a meticulous scoreimg update system that looks suspiciously like a folded piece of paper I keep in my wallet to keep track of everyones shooting.
   

I really appreciate everyone's participation in this. Its the little, simple things like this (and the much bigger events!)  that really make us a community - even one spread across the virtual world! Happy shooting folks! More to come!

[Cavscout9753]

I feel like folks are afraid of talking out of fear of blowing up the shoot thread. I should mention that this thread here also serves as a "chat" thread as well! Haha

[Doug_K]

Some good shootin' going on!
Thanks for putting this together Cavscout, hope we can keep the interest level in this going. Not that I need more excuses to shoot  

[monterey]

After I shot the official target I left it up for more shooting.  So, after about 25 more shots the ten ring is still intact and untouched.   :(

[Cavscout9753]

I agree Doug, we'll be sure to explore ways at keeping it interesting (and inclusive). I hate shooting dots (or rings) as well, but it's the easiest answer. I'll probably do a poll for the next one to figure out what people want to do without getting too crazy with it. Maybe quartering away or towards for the next one; that shot always messes me up on a hard quartering away, yet such a likely game animal shot!

Monterey: Yep, after I shot I moved my target down the hill for my little one to plink away at. I think if I really want to improve I may need to practice shooting at the exact target. I'm used to more "pick a random spot" on the target face to keep things different, but just aiming at that "bullseye" was a little mind game for me!

[Cavscout9753]

rraming - I see you scored your shot at a 10, but I got you at 14, so that's the score I posted. Let me know if I messed up.

[monterey]

I was hoping to have risen from last place, but correction may have assured my last place.   :p

[Cavscout9753]

Hahah, well thats my assessment of the score. Hey, last ain't all that bad - nowhere to go but up!

thats a good way to look at it.  Ricky Bobby once said, "if you ain't first, you're last".

He also said he was on fire and ran around in his underwear!
Just sayin!!

and what is wrong with that?

[Crittergetter]

Everything!!!!!

[Cavscout9753]

Haha, you know, I almost made the same Ricky Bobby quote.

So, just a reminder to double-check what I score you if you don't provide your own score. drewsbow: I got you at 20 since it looks to me like you managed to break the "8" ring line. I will always err on the side of the shooter, but it looks clear to me.

[drewsbow]

I was going conservative with an 18

[Jakeemt]

Only a couple of days left guys. Still need about half the scores.
