mystikbow, you have the honor of calling next week's shot.  For now, let's see some more pretty 17-yard kills.

 Well there it is 17 paces from my hooters stool. I shot a little high because my target is getting worn out [NOT!!!] Cant wait for the next challenge.

I hear ya Terry. Someone wanted to change the shot every 3 days. If it was less than a week I probably never get the shot in! Sometimes I wish my life wasn't so hectic but I wouldn't cut out a thing.

VA Bowbender I like the recycled bulls eye.  If you miss you could yell out an appropriate word and still be covered.  :biglaugh:

rod251 that bow was made by John Holzrichter from Wichita Ks. It has spalted maple for riser, maple and red elm limbs with black glass on back and clear glass on belly. It is super lite and shoots very well. specs are 52# @ 28" and 60" long. John is a great shot and great bowyer that has probably forgoten more about making bows than most of have ever known. Oh and it spits a 580 grain arrow at 172 fps. theres faster out there but thats fast enough for me.

That spalted maple is the stuff!  The arrow speed is just icing on the cake.

Ok folks here is the next challenge for this Fri.  I really liked VA Bowbenders bullseye idea so here goes. I KNOW everybody has access to TP.
 Set up your TP roll on end so you can see into it. Pace off 16yrds and see if you can group your first three arrows into the end of the TP roll.
It's your choice to sit,stand,kneel... you get the idea.
I reckon so

Mooseman,

I bet on your first shot in the morning go off the target, off the tree and into the drivers side door of the van on the right side of the the picture frame. If you call it that would be a heck of a shot.

Pac -  That was a good one, made me laugh.

MYSTIKBOW - As soon as I seen VA Bowbenders entry I thought the same thing, that would make a great shot of the week, good call. Looking forward to this one.

Does that mean I have to do this again.  

Y'all shoot at the paper roll.  ( BTW, that was a 20 yrd shot)  
I'm going to go try this again but with the Pittsley Predator this time, I shoot that better.

 I had this posted elsewhere for another competition.

Yes, but for this not everyone can post video.

I'm always trying to come up with goofy stuff to make it more interesting.
Here's a real fun one;
Take a "Block" or Styrofoam square and suspend it on a rope.  Put a target of whatever you choose on  one  side.  Then spin the block and try to hit the target.

aah you've done that one too eh?!
My girls love the suspended block target!
Each one gets to draw their own target on opposite sides of the block and see who can hit their side the most. What a blast!!   :bigsmyl:
I reckon so
