This is why.

I have a bad quality about me when it comes to competition. It's not about the others in the competition, it's about the over demanding, unfairly critical and always unsatisfied ego I carry around. It took me years to overcome in at work and it has shown it's ugly head in other parts of my life as well.
Pride goeth before the fall so to speak. It seemed when I did well in a couple of these I couldn't shoot worth a hoot for the next two or three weeks. It drove me nuts.

Recently I have been shooting a few just never posting results just to push myself some. I'm fairly comfortable in my form and even ready to do some things with bare shaft tuning and getting out to some shoots when business slows so maybe I can handle my self persecuting evil alter ego well enough to try a few at some point.

The last couple weeks I haven't shot much with work and scout camp. Yesterday I cut my ring finger at the bend on an emergency call out where a dock broke loose. Not a bad cut but definitely a bad spot.

I appreciate the invite though. Helluva bunch of good people in this section.

[Briar Friar]

DRT...Fair enough. I appreciate your awareness of limitations.

Don't know if the slope of my driveway was an advantage or not but I finally placed a good shot

Set the bar HIGH why don't ya?!?! Great shot!!

[spidermonkey]

Great shot, DWA! And, if you measured from nearest side/edge of arrow to the spot, I'm thinkin you're more like 1/4-5/16"! Awesome! Good Huntin, and God Bless, Rusty

[Briar Friar]

Great shot DWA! It looks about 5/16" to this guy! Awesome!

[Briar Friar]

About 3 7/8" for me. A bit high but overall for the size of the corn munching crows...maybe itd catchem on the up.

[DWA]

Pure luck

[CRM_95]

Looks like 1 5/16" for me.
