Macbow-- I will be caught up tonight. I will shoot week 7 tonight and post both week 6 and 7 tonight. Sorry had lots going on this past week.

 Have been so busy lately I don't know if I have found a rope or lost a horse.

Well here are my scores for last week (#6) and this week(#7).

Week #6 = 20

 


Week #7 = 10

If week #7 is how shooting Elk is done!!! I'll just stick to my squirrel and rabbits. You can have that Elk hunting!  "[dntthnk]"

Canopyboy did you post the first 5 weeks yet?

I may have missed them.

Nope, I've been trying to get my swap bow shot in and sent out.  Although the way it was shooting for me I should have put up some paper plates...  It goes in the mail today, will get caught up in the next night or two.

I've been avoiding this one.  I'm not sure I can get my body into this "praying mantis" postion, let alone shoot a bow from it.  Elkbreath, you truly are a little bent.   :)

Oh by the way, I am going to shoot these ugly arrows I got from Big Jim on Clearance (3 dozen Vapors) a few years ago, I would like them gone!

I nearly ripped my Wranglers leaning over the extreme lean...my target butt is on the right edge of my property line. My lot slopes downward from front to back, so me being a lefty I was leaning downhill. I just hope my wife wasn't watching out the back window  :laughing:  

Challenging shot choices, but I'll pass on those kind if hunting. I'm challenged enough shooting upright.  "[dntthnk]"

Week 7, 22 points.
Broke two nocks earlier today so I shoot only one arrow at time. Not even close to break another  ;)
Few days ago switch to shoot three under and feel like can shoot more accurate this way.

 

Shot #3 just above plate.

Ok, I'm all caught up.  I started shooting about 10 minutes before sunset.  I took this week's shots first.  The remaining weeks may or may not be considered fair as I was warming up as I went (although my shooting actually got worse).  By the time I did Week 5, it was 25 minutes after sunset, 5 minutes left of legal.  I could barely make out the white plate in the shadows of the range, let alone see the center.  I also had to photoshop this week's label as I got carried away making my plates and forgot week 6 was last week and I had actually done that one.  BTW, we score the higher ring if the line is crossed, right?  If not, I can correct -- I still have the plates.  Anyhow, here are the results:

Week 7: 14 (one didn't really tear the paper)
   

Week 1: 30
   

Week 2: 18
   

Week 3: 24
   

Week 4: 18 (I totally missed the horizontal shot.  Trying again later, I believe I found an area I really need some work on.  Close to horizontal is ok, fully horizontal I can't do.)
     

Week 5: 24 (has anyone else noticed they shoot tight groups when they can't see their arrows fly or land?)
