Quick question....since it's "First shot of the day" and we're having one scenario a week, can I make an entry every day of the week?

Ok....3 shots from the knee at 20yds.

I'll go first....but with a few disclosures.....lol.

1.  First year going all trad.  Former compound shooter.

2.  I DID shoot several shots, this morning, before looking at this thread....so weigh that, too!

3.  This is NOT indicative of my "normal" 20 yd groups!....lol

4.  The top arrow entered in a weird angle, but was the second arrow fired.

Enough about the labor pains...here's the baby!

One entry per person, are we going to keep each challenge open for more than one day?

The bottom arrow missed by about 2.5". The other two arrows were about an 1.5" away.

You guys are some impressive shooters.

Since I posted this question I haven't been able to shoot, hurt my neck and I'm babying it.  :(
I think the way we used to do it was it went for a week and 1 entry per person.
The winner would call the next shot.
I'll try to pull a bow back tomorrow.
Its kinda cool that this took off again, it was always fun to see how these shots turned out.

I am also new to Trad, almost a year now. My shots went from left to right in a row. For me this has been the hardest thing to do, picking a spot on a solid color target. I was looking at the heart ring. Also first time posting a pic, hope I did it right. BW PSA III 59#@30 1/2.

When I said my group wasn't indicative of how I normally shoot.....I meant I usually shoot WORSE!....lol

You guys are freakin hooter shooters.  Imagine if you got to warm up!

Maybe I misunderstood.  Mine was my first three shots.

2Knives, hope you don't mind ; A couple of us kinda stepped in a filled in some thoughts....

1) ONE entry per shooter/week

2) the 5th person to post their shot & pic
   calls the next shot

3) 8AM Saturday starts and 8PM Friday ends a
   given shot

Hope that's good with everyone. It can be hard sometimes; to call a 'winner'.
