Traditional FSC Week 3/ 2019

[RickBarbee]

Shots to be taken from 17 yards (8 yards for the kiddos).

Fold a blank sheet of 8.5 X 11 inch printer paper
at it's middle on both the vertical, and horizontal lines.
Then poke a pin hole in the paper at it's middle.
All as shown in the following image.



After poking the hole, flatten the folds as best you can,
so the paper lays nice & flat on the target butt, and makes
the lines of the fold somewhat less visible.

Obviously, you are shooting for the pin hole in the paper.

You will be shooting up to 7 shots.
They must be the first shot of the day over the 7 day period.

If you are happy with your first of 7 shots, then you don't have to shoot again.

A hit of the pin hole is scored as a 0 (zero).
Non hit's measure from edge of arrow shaft to the pin hole,
and score the distance of that measurement, BUT notice in the following picture, that you can score both positive, or negative measurements.



If you choose, you will be able to improve your measurement by adding to, or subtracting from your first, or previous shot totals.

Closest total measurement of all shots to 0 (zero) wins the call for next week.

Tie breaker will be fewest arrows shot.

Ok, I got a PM saying this is to complicated.

This is not complicated. It's simple math.
You either stick with your first shot measurement, OR you add to/subtract from that measurement with more shots.

A +5 and a -5 would be a tie.

Remember, you are shooting for a score of 0 (zero)

The only way to get a score of 0 (zero) with just one shot,
is to hit the pinhole with your first shot.

Hitting the pinhole at any other time won't help you.
It won't hurt you either, except in your shot count.

Lets say you shoot, and hit in one of the "+" marked quadrants at 2.5" from the hole.
You now have a score of +2.5".

Then you shoot, and hit in one of the "-" marked quadrants at 2.5" from the hole

You would have a score of 0 (zero)

This is cool, Rick! I'll have to wait til tomorrow to start though -- shot in the club 3D shoot today.

[Briar Friar]

Got it...pretty sure

If I shoot shot 1 at +1.5” then shot 2 at -1.5”...Ive got zero...Id be done. 2 shots for zero.

Please correct me if Im wrong Rick.

Only question would be whether to write in the plus and minus signs in the given quadrants to keep that straight, or keep the paper blank?

Having those extra marks would help with the aim.
Keep the paper blank with the only exceptions being the fold lines, and the pinhole.
The point of this is not only to shoot good, but to judge where you need to hit.

If you want to keep a tally of your running total on the paper, just do it in pencil in the upper left hand corner.

I don't see that as a problem, and would make it easy for folks to keep up with it.

Sounds good. Thanks.

1st: +3 15/16

TxRebel's shot reminds me:

If you shoot, and touch, or cut a line, the measurement goes to the side/area the arrow is most located in.

If it's to close to call, then call it in your favor.

In Reb's case, he called/measured it correctly.

Now we know why you specified a pinpoint center -- so you could bust out the 32nds measurements.

Good shot, Rick!
