At the end of the flight.

Another pic of the landing.

Only damage sustained by the target (ruffled feathers).

OK Boys.....full disclosure:

1. I removed the nock like VABow did....'cause it's a perfectly good nock!

2. Wasn't in my first 8 or my first 28 (I have no idea how many shots)....but.....

Just an idea. I never seem to be the 5th person to post but i think i have a heck of an idea.

I went and tried. Alas, 12 wood arrows, some of them scraping each other real hard, none of the totally splintering the others. Has any one ever blown up an arrow "robin hoodin" it, using wood?

Pac, we used to do this alot at the club here. You can use a shop vac hose on blow pointed up. Its good fun! First things first, gotta win the present challenge!

Hey Pac that's a neat idea. My only problem is my wife has seen me shoot. She'll never agree to let me use the blow dryer. "[dntthnk]"

Just get her to run the camera so she will part of the production and can't get mad at you or learn to be sneeky.

Here's my take on Pac's idea. The wife can't complain about this. I'll try to give it a "shot" later.

sorry for the quality, I used my camera phone.

So what week are we on.....lol?

Let's give it a go! Sorry I haven't been able to "play" the last few weeks, but it's on now. Give the green light and I'll give it a try.

For those of us that can't seem to get Flasher Player downloaded, what is Pac's idea?

VA Bowbender · « **Reply #391 on:** June 28, 2009, 10:14:00 AM »

Bona,
It's a ping pong ball floating in the airstream of a hairdryer. I used a leaf blower with a vacuum hose on it. I haven't taken any shots at it yet though.

OK, this looks like fun. How far and how many shots?

My idea so I guess I come up with the distance and # of shots?

You get 5 shots and the distance and stance is up to you. Go for the eaiser low point shot, or risk extra points by backing up.

You can move up or back at any time. All 5 shots can be taken at 1 position or a combo of all distances.

10 yards 5 shots 1 point per hit
15 yards 5 shots 3 points per hit
20 yards 5 shots 5 points per hit
25 yards 5 shots 7 points per hit

0 points for me. I tried all of my shots at 15 yards. Kind of hard to concentrate on the ball bebopping all over the place.

VA Bowbender · « **Reply #395 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:47:00 PM »

Well I went out and tried the floating ball challenge. I had to run from the camera to my shooting position at about 18yrds. I had to try to shoot quick before the ball fell off the airstream. Somehow I hit the ball on my first shot! Here's the video Guys and gals.

Bona, if you still can't view video I hit the ball twice.

b.glass · « **Reply #396 on:** June 30, 2009, 05:22:00 PM »

Thanks VA! I sure wish I could see these videos!
Good shooting though...twice!

Bona

I haven't tried this but it sounds like fun. Yesterday was the first day I was able to shoot in 6 months due to a broken left elbow. out of shape but did manage to get 6 inch groups at 8 yards(looooooooooong way from the 230's I was shooting lol). looking forward to shooting this game and then some real game in a few months.

Great idea.

Wait, 230 yards?
