Show us your best group...

[Huckleberry Finn]

..everytime you practice this summer!

I didn't shoot for 2 weeks bc of the heat but pulled my bow out tonight. Felt good and shot great. Two different groups at 20:






Figured that this could make for a good competition and motivation for guys shooting this summer. I know I get a little bored shooting the same ole block over and over.

Who can beat my group?

Nice shooting dude!

I guess I'm gonna have to set the target out tomorrow afternoon... :smiley_bril:

 

[Archertl]

Cool idea man.

 

[Gern186]

Why are your arrows all entering the target at different angles in the 2nd picture? Did you move around or shoot from the same place? If you are shooting from the same spot you might want to set up an appointment with Milo.

This was a couple weeks ago, practicing quartering away shots at 15yds...great thread idea!

Just so you know, Jesse... These groups are to be shot from beyond 5 yards. I know this is going to stretch your range a bit, but we gotta keep things fair.

Today's group @ 20y before my windage screw on my rest came loose.

 

[finelyshedded]

Good shooting TOOzers! I'll try to get out sometime this week and fling a few.

Nice tight group Greg!

Cool thread Huck!

Here's a group from a week or two ago. Took the pic to send to Mullskinner while he was working and I was goofing off. 25 or 30 yds.

Very impressive Brock! I need to build some woodies so I can get to shooting my recurve again.

 

[brock ratcliff]

Those are carbons that Geezer put together for me. I need to re-fletch them as I've shot 'em quite a bit and there isn't much fur left on 'em!

My foam block is shot to shit and bounces around with every arrow, it's nothing more than that. I could see what you mean though! (And, Milo did see me shoot a month ago).

Jesse - that's the whole dang point, son! So we get off our asses and shoot!

ill post some once milo is done with my bow

 

[jagermeister]

What a great afternoon to be out shooting the bow! There was a bit of a crosswind, but not too bad really.

20 yds...

50 yds... nothing impressive, but I'll take it for right now...

 

[swamp_donkey2012]

nice grouping tho

 

[finelyshedded]

Great groups JB! Your windage looks great as well as your distance. I'd take it.

Great shooting Brock!

 

[Beentown]

That's good for 50 JB. No need for putting that group off. Doesn't take much of a variance to make the arrow walk at 35 and out.

Well I dusted off my hunting bow and grabbed 5 target arrahs and set up the deer target for my first repetitive shooting since November. WOW, am I out of practice!ugh

I shot 3 arrows at 20 and was slapping them in tight at that distance off the get go and moved on back to 30 yards. I shot one group of 5 arrows at 30 and took a pic then moved back to 40. I shot a group of 4 arrows all in a softball sized group dead center of the kill but my last shot cleared the back and sent me on an arrah hunt for 5 minutes. That brought me back down to earth in a hurry and I don't know what exactly happened but the shot sequence was far from perfect and fatigue might have played a role. I shot five more arrows with my daughter taking pics of me and made the 5 best shots I could muster. The target sets back in the woods and the lighting was less than perfect but I could see it fine. I just couldn't see my arrows at which to shoot at and was just settling in on the kill zone. I am so out of practice as far as stamina goes but it felt good to shoot again. Here are my pics.....DON'T LAUGH!:smiley_baby:lmao
