No 3 shots from the knees at 20 was last weeks, this week it's the match stick.  You would have had to put a match stick on him first, then back off to 60 yds.

Cody, did you see my second shot? Do you think it was cheating to put it in a black circle on a white background? I was a little impressed with myself. Used a 39# BBO and cedar arrows.

First shot a little low to the right, the impact of arrow spun the ball to the right. Second shot was high. I did a lot better than I thought I was going to do, for I could not see that dam match to save my life. Thanks for calling that shot Cody, that was fun.

I'll go ahead and throw it out there today.  We'll make it a hunting scenerio shot.
 
How many times have we been hunting and our game comes into range before we have a chance to stand up to shoot.  Or maybe you hunt from a ground blind.  It's time to practice the sitting shot.    One shot at the animal target of your choice, from... lets say... 17 yards away, from a sitting position.  On the ground, in a chair, or from a stand, your choice.  This is one I practice year round so I'll be ready come October.  We're not really trying to hit a tiny target on this one, let's just see some pretty kill shots.  Have fun!

Thanks Bona,
 I shot 29" Gold Tip 35/55 Expedition Hunters from my 58", 55# Great Plains TD. Birds eye maple and Cocobolo riser with tonkin cane bamboo limbs.
 I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow.

I don't have an animal target, so I printed out a "Vitals" target I'll tape to a bag. Is that acceptable?

Leo - That was a great idea posting all the shots called weekly. I was loosing track, good thinking, thanks.

fido dog - If I may so bold to speak, I think for everyone participating in this thread to say that we all are not always going to have the same equipment for the shot called for that week, improvise as close to the shot is just fine. The idea to keep your skills sharp and to have fun shooting is the idea, a good idea started from 2Knives.

I'm gonna be real busy tomorrow so I thought I'd shoot this morning. Hope that's OK. Here's my sitting 17yd shot and a pic of my setup. Crow Creek Blackfeather 41# @ 27", full length Carbon Express 100's with 175 grains up front. My shot was a bit high but I can live with that seeing how I haven't even had my morning cup of coffee yet. What does everyone think of shortening the time for the shot to say maybe 3 days. I can hardly wait till the next challenge.Paul<><
