Aww hell Chester. I don't remember. It took me about an hour to find one. I think my search ended up like "archery vitals target" or something. Mine is actually a pixelated enlargement of PART of the whole target.

My very first shot of the day, no warm ups. 17 yards, sitting on the bucket, at a pic of a squirrel, shooting my Schafer 62" 63# @ 28" with one of my footed cedar shafts.

 
As you can see this squirrel lived to fight another day.

After I posted the pics, I went back out and totally wore that squirrel out. That was alot of fun and great practice. Now I'll print out some more pictures of small critters, rabbits, prarie dogs, and the like. I work the swing shift today so I can play for a while.  :goldtooth:

I'm gonna go ahead and post mine early too.  My setup is:

Samick Red Stag, 45lbs @28"
Gold Tip Trad 3555, full length w/150 grain tips and 5" shield cut feathers


 


17 yards, sitting in my LSU lawn chair, dead deer.  I may have to start bringing my chair to the 3D shoots if I'm gonna get results like this!

Super nice shot. Dead deer for sure.
Always strive to do the right thing. Don't beat yourself down when you mess up. Ask for forgivness and keep on keeping on.

I thought I could shoot with them on, but not when I got back to anchor.  The wire got in the way of my sight picture. It was ridiculously humid out today, by the time I was done shooting you would have thought I just ran a few miles.

I've been around, just not posting anything, because I don't really have anything to post.
Ask me about CTO.

First shot of the day.  17 Yards and sitting.  This was the very first time I have ever shot from a sitting position.  Guess my military training of "center mass" took over  :)  

Now I know why I stand before taking a shot but do see how practicing this shot would help.  Wouldn't you know it, my next shot was in the kill zone.
USAF Retired '85-'05

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!
