OK Cody, you got me on this one! I really liked shooting at a matchstick. My shooting improved dramatically when I aimed at such a small target! Here's the match:

Here's the view to my target (with the gate open I can get up to 40 yards - but don't hit the fence!!)

And here's the three arrows! First one knocked the match to the ground - I WAS SHOCKED!

The second was the "flier" and the third stacked on the first!!!

Notice the match on the ground?

Thanks for the challenge, Cody! That rocked!

I concede, Juan you win, nice shooting!!!!

I kind of combined this weeks and last weeks. And in video form!

3 shots from the knees at 20 yds. aiming to knock off the bottle cap

It was a fluke!

That's nice shooting Leo. I've got to practice from my knees more.

So what's the next challenge? Anyone still want to play? I like this...

I propose one shot, quarter size target, 20 yards, on one foot! Hold that other leg as high as you can to force yourself into bad balance and see if you can get the arrow home...
Most of the terrain here is steep and formidable, and finding solid footing isn't always an option. I'd like to see how diliberate lack of equilibrium affects shooting - I suppose if the shoulders are properly squared and the release is well timed it shouldn't be that far off...

Whatdya all say?

Juan

NorthernCaliforniaHunter · « **Reply #86 on:** April 28, 2009, 11:29:00 AM »

Nock 'em dead, bowmaster!

bowmaster12 · « **Reply #87 on:** April 28, 2009, 11:36:00 AM »

i think the way it is set up is you have a week (till fri 8pm)to make the shot the fith person to post their reuslts calls the next shot. but i could be wrong and really it doesnt matter the more different shots ia can take the better the practice

and lor dknows i need the practice

I thought we had till this coming Friday to do the 3 arrows from the knees and then next week we would do Cody's challenge

bowmaster12 · « **Reply #90 on:** April 28, 2009, 12:43:00 PM »

i believe you are correct razor maybe to help with some of the confussions shots should not be called until the monday after the closen of the previous shot?

Cold shot. 3 from the knees at 20 yards.

That was the first time I have taken a shot from my knees since 1986! I was suprised with as good as i did.

Bottom arrow 1st shot, middle arrow 2nd shot and top arrow was 3rd shot. I had a great group until I let the 2nd arrow fly.

Cody Roiter · « **Reply #93 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:57:00 PM »

Nice Bow

Leo L. · « **Reply #94 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:06:00 PM »

Yea the match stick shot starts this Saturday. Last week was the bottle cap, this week until Friday @ 5 is the 3 shots at 20 kneeling, and next week is the matchstick at 60 (30 for those without 60)

18Apr09: Closest to hitting bottle cap at 15 yds
25Apr09: Best 3 shot group from 20 yds. kneeling
02May09: Hit a match stick at 60 yds/30 yds

Thanks guys. Were does the 60 come from. i have seen it mentioned by several people but I don't remember seeing it in Cody's post.

Friends call me Pac · « **Reply #96 on:** April 29, 2009, 10:04:00 AM »

I can't attemp the 30 yard shot. 25 yards is as far as I can go in the backyard. Urban archery sometimes has it's limits.

I could get 30 yards in the front yard but if I miss I'll have to sneek into my neighbor's yard to get my arrow back provided I don't skewer one of the gazzillion cats free roaming the neighborhood.

bowmaster12 · « **Reply #97 on:** April 29, 2009, 10:11:00 AM »

i think cody edited his post to say 30 because alot of people couldnt do the 60

NorthernCaliforniaHunter · « **Reply #98 on:** April 29, 2009, 10:33:00 AM »

Sorry guys, looks like I screwed up. Consider my match stick post a next week thing. I'll try to post my three from the knee today.

Not so great. I guess the third time's the charm since my last arrow is in the middle. Bring on the matchstick!
