I'm still stiff from hunting pigs all weekend but I gave it a try.  1st arrow in center, 2nd to left 3rd right

loosened up a bit and actually hit the center and within 2 inches with the other two arrows on my next try.

I tried a new shot the other day.  I took two water bottles and stood the first one on the ground and placed the other bottle upside down and balanced on the first bottle's cap.  the goal was to hit both caps at the same time.  came close but no cigar yet.

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

I'm a little behind on my posts. This is the first shot of the day on Friday. A clean MISS!

Second shot of the day. (Since the first was a clean miss and the deer often give you the second chance, I thought I would take it).
Fox longbow 47 lbs @ 26", CE Heritage arrows, 660 gr total, 300-325 gr up front.

Most current "First Shot", shots. The first and the third shots were the closest and almost identical.

I thought I would add a little "TWIST" to this senario shot of the day, so I hung the TP roll and let it swing freely. By the way for the record, these are NOT my first three shots of the day, more like 10,11,12, so I'm disqualified.
 
I'm practicing with my Howard Hill "Tembo" 75#@28" and my footed split hex pine arrows.

Timothy,
 Just jump in. Go back to the begining, set up your shots, post your pics, and have fun with it.
I think we've decided that the 5th person to post chooses the next senario. Honor system rules.

First 3 shots of the day at 16yrds standing. First shot was real low, the second was right next to the tube and the third was to the left of the second shot. That was fun. Thanks for calling the shot of the week MYSTIKBOW.

I've only had my bow for about 3 months and was really impressed to see you guys hit stuff on the first shot of the day.  I have been lucky to hit my target on the first shot!  But, I have been seeing improvement lately and thought I'd try this for myself and see how it went.  

I found that I really have to concentrate and kinda' rein           in my attention.  It is helping a lot.  Here's my first shot today, followed by a shot showing my 1-4th shots.

I'm getting there...

Oh, and this is from 11 yards with a Ben Pearson Recurve 66", 50# @ 28"  Aluminum shaft arrows.

If I don't get to pick a shot, I want someone to call a Terry Green shot or a moving target shot.

Looks like everybody's been busy this week. I leave for Florida with my daughter on a school trip this evening.

If I counted right then it's bowsander's call on the next shot.  Somebody may want to double-check my countin'.

I was just checking in to see if the next shot was called and I too would say rod251, that bowsander has the honor of calling the next shot.
