Traditional FSC Week 20

Will this work for my obstruction?

It's a piece of 3/8" plywood with a 4" hole in the center.

Got it all set up. Just got to do some more work in the shop,
and wait for it to cool down some before I shoot.

I wanked shot #2, and put it through the plywood.
That pulled the hole to the left, which placed shot #1 against the hole on the right side.
Had to skin the board to try to get close with shot #3.

That works! Nice shooting, Rick!

Got into the target after the plywood pass-through! Counts! Probably similar to shooting through the blue barrel or a hog's shield. I'm wondering if anyone will bank one in off of a branch. That stuff happens in real life.

Thanks.

I figured with the plywood being free hanging/swinging, that it would cut down on penetration quite a bit. Nope, that arrow went through it like a bullet.

It will go through your privacy fence quick too![emoji44]

There it is. Third shot clipped nock of first shot and veered left.

Good shooting, Gary!

And you don't get to complain about hitting your other arrows, because I said you could shoot-and-pull them one at a time so you wouldn't hit them. *I did it that way because all but two of my arrows are broken ; and it turned out that the first shot's back end was right over the circle, so was happy to do one at a time.

You lead, sir!

[DRT]

I wasnt complaining about the nock. Just made the total a little higher. [emoji16]
I just didn't want to step into the pile of branches until I was done shooting it. Me hitting another arrow is pure accident. Missing twice in the same spot. 🤨

Todays first round sucked...alot. Second round makes me giddy.

Good shooting DRT. Decent wanking Rick.

[tradtiger]

Now THAT'S some dang obstruction, Briar! And a nice group!

Thanks Tiger. Im hoping the aiming points and muscle memory kick in soon.

Focus in form and the anchor is repeatable. It will come.

Enjoying the creativity shown in making the obstacles for these shots, y'all! Love to see a few more; plenty of time today, lot's of examples to set up the obstacles.

To recap the challenge: smallest total distance, 12 yards, 3 arrows, shot sitting or kneeling at a quarter-traced circle center on paper, with some type of obstacles about 12-18" in front of target -- leaving about a 4" alley to shoot through. Arrows can be shot either right in a row or shot-and-pulled one at a time to avoid hitting previous ones.

DRT currently leads with a 3-arrow total of 5-9/16".

Choot em!

After 12. Congrats to DRT!

Call us a fun one!
