Traditional First Shot Challenge Week 5

[RickBarbee]

This weeks challenge will be almost the same as last week. (One minor difference)

The challenge will again be a 5 Shot challenge.

Shots to be taken from 15 yards for the adults. 7 yards for the kiddos.

I would prefer, that you to take each shot on different days, but if you get up against time, then shoot them all at once, or finish up all at once with your remaining shots.

Draw a 2" DOT on a standard piece of paper, or whatever you have handy.



Any shot landing outside the dot:
Scores the measured distance from the edge of the arrow shaft to the nearest edge of the dot.

Any shot landing on / touching / cutting the edge of the dot:
Scores a 0 "zero".

Any shot landing cleanly inside the dot (does not touch the edge):
Scores a - 1/2" (negative one half inch)

Lowest total of the 5 shots wins the call for next week.

Obviously, the minor difference is a dot instead of an empty circle.
An experiment to see if a solid dot is easier to shoot.
I'm betting it will be.

Shoot straight, and have fun.

Yeah I couldn't see the circle edges when shooting. However I just focused on the center of the paper and let them fly.

I bet you are correct though.

By the way - The picture is an exact 8.5 X 11, and is printable if you are able to print to scale.

Yeah, I think most will enjoy this one much better, and it really is a good exercise.

I'm supposed to receive my new riser tomorrow.
I won't be shooting this until I have it all set up, and tuned in.
Wish me luck.

Are we going to go with the guy that shoots the worst has to pick the next one?

Ahh, I think I see your strategy, incentive not to come in last.

Yeah and I would guess it gets boring picking often if you're a really good shot (i.e. Rick). I would also be that we have more folks competing if the guy that comes in last has to pick instead of the winner. There are a lot of guys here that are great shots. I'd bet they don't play because they don't want to have to pick a new challenge.


Either way I'm for sure a contender for picking the next one.

Like the solid spot.

On winner picking the challenge: should be winners choice, at least. If he/she wishes to designate runner-up or some other contestant that week, it's up to them.

With great power comes great responsibility.

[Junkers88]

Ok I changed my mind. The guy that wins should pick the next weeks shot.



LOL!! I totally plucked that one.


Richard.

Edit: That one went low and right, computer rotated the picture for me.

Wasn't there a TV show called "The Biggest Loser", or something like that?

Winner still gets to make the call for next week.

Loser has to come take me to the ABA 3D range, and shoot with me for a day.
It's been a long time since I shot any 3D, and I need to get out.
