Is that a Viper Longbow?  It looks just like the one I have.  If it is how do you like it.  It semms to shoot good for you too.  I think $199.00 for a new bow that shoots that good it was a real bargain.
hey bowbender, that longbow is a Adirondack Hunter I picked up yesterday for a real good price. Its been shooting great for me!

thanks!

I like the bottle.  Mine hit home on the 8th arrow.  Anyone tear up any flethchings removing their arrow??....lol

My bottle's still on my target.  Good, small point to aim at at longer distances.

I'll take photos if I do anything special!  Good shootin', guys!

Looks to me like Vabowbender calls the next shot. The way I counted he was the 5th to post. I can hardly wait. Give us a good one. Paul<><

Okay gang,
Here's one I've wanted to try for a very long time.  This will be an instinctive shooting exercise.  The muzzleloader's do this at different events.

 The Candle Shoot:
*Distance; 15yrds to whatever you want.  (I like 18-20yrds)
*How many arrows; up to 6.
*Position; whatever you like.
*Object of the excercise; to snuff the flame and   NOT hit the candle.
* OH, by the way did I mention you have to wait until dark or at least dusk.
 


* HINT ; put the candle at least one arrow length away from the backstop.  That way you won't burn anything up.
 
I'm going to try to do video of this one.  If you have the equipment and the urge please do the same.


   

   

And no comment about the grass. I told you it's like a swamp in my backyard from all the rain.

Man I've been so dang busy I missed the last couple of challenges. It's raining like crazy here too but I think I should be able to get out tomorrow evening. I REALLY Wanna shoot this one.

 Hey Caleb7mm, any good grocery store should have some emergency candles on the shelf.
I reckon so

Heres' my coke can (I didn't have a bottle) 6 shots first of the day.

I'm waiting till dark to try the candle trick, it won't be my first shots of the day but I'm thinkin' it'll still be a challenge. I can see where a video would be good for this one, but I can't do videos so you'll have to take my word for it. Good luck everyone.

The bottle skinned up the cap wrap a little. Nothing to worry about! I did take a "few" tries mind you.

Well here's my entry for the "Candlestick Challenge".
I had a REAL BLAST trying this one.  I came very close to snuffing out the flame, put a couple of arrows through the flame but didn't put it out.  I wish I had taken pictures of the arrows in the backstop but oh well.

I hope y'all enjoy this challenge.  I look forward to seeing how everyone does.  Shooting in the dark is a different experience.
Good luck.
