Traditional FSC Week 38

[tradtiger]

Continuing a theme of challenges to improve hunting success, I'm inspired by Buff's shot placement thread. General idea seems to be : shoot low.

Here's the challenge: first fold a blank 8.5x11" sheet in half so that you have a horizontal fold; then make a dime-size spot 3" up from the bottom of paper, centeted left to right. Take one shot from 16 yards(10 for kids) seated (in a chair as in a ground blind). Closest shot center to center wins. As a penalty, a shot off of the paper or above a fold doubles the distance (and your deer may get away )

Dang I missed it this morning and just got done shooting. I'll do it first thing tomorrow.

Well I was 3.5 low and off the paper so I guess I get a 7 if I read this right.

Yeah...but on the plus side he might have ducked into it!! 3.5'' low at 16 yards ain't bad at all starting out!!

Just for clarity we're trying to hit the center of the paper and not the dot?

I was gonna shoot at the dot too. I'm sure he'll be back to clarify.

Shoot the dot. The dot is 3" from the bottom of the paper. The horizontal fold across the middle of the page is just an upper boundary. If you hit above the fold or off the paper, then whatever distance your arrow is from the center of the dot is doubled as a penalty. This is to encourage keeping the shot down.

Correct. Shoot at the dot.
