I am impressed no matter how old you are.    :notworthy:  Hard on anyone to twist 180.    :eek:   I shoot with my feet pointed about 90 to the target so with a starting point of my feet pointed directly away from the target I only had to twist 90.

30 for me.  This is about 10 yd. in my barn, where I spend all winter shooting so it is probably my best distance right now.  I did spend some time working on how best to make the twist while maintaining upper body alignment as close as possible to normal. That for me meant turning mostly at the hips, knees and ankles ending in a half setting squat.  I turned normal and shot a 32.  Then tried it the way I would probably normally do it with no thought by just turning and shooting. I got about 22.  Working on figuring out the best form helped a lot.

I try to step off in yards. I just didn't want to put yards as a measurement because Aunty is from NZ and I didn't know what they use. So as close to 12 yards as possible.

Wasn't as hard as I expected. Needed help to get untwisted but I'll be OK    :)  . Looks like I got 30. Used my 66" 47# Mohawk T/D longbow
 
No, the picture isn't upside down. The target is.

well, first week not so hot.  Then again all I have been doing the past couple of weeks is blank baling and with a new anchor I am way high.  A 10 for me.

Here's mine for the week, a 28.  Good challenge, I don't usually try that shot.

Reed (7) decided he wanted to shoot his newly-skinned bow.  (Copperhead on top, water moccasin on bottom)

 

I didn't make him turn around but here's his target after 4 arrows.  (His 12 steps were a tad shorter than daddy's)  :D

 

Good job, Reed!

I shot 4 6's....24 score.
Never really practiced that position before..kinda fun! Just wish my range finder was dialed in a little better...lol

Good shooting everyone!
It's cool looking at the different arrows.

Nice shooting guys! I had a family gathering all day so I wasn't able to shoot, but I'll try and do it in the morning. Its a lot of fun to look at everybody's groups and hearing the comments. I hope you guys had fun with the awkward position, I thought it would be a fun one to start out with.

Zradix- Nice group!
