For this challenge, take a BEFORE-SHOT picture of the back of the target bottle or box to show where the spot you make is.
The challenge is to work on quartering away angle shots, taken from elevation. The target is one we have shot before -- a milk jug or soda jug or even a small box, set at a 45-degree angle, with the shooter at some safe level of elevation from 11 yards (Kiddos can shoot from ground). Trying to simulate a close, quartering-away shot from a raised platform blind, for instance. The aimpoint is hidden from view, however, as you make a dime-sized spot at the back-side exit point of the arrow -- low and away.
Winner will be the one with the closest part of shaft to the center of the spot. For fun -- optional -- fill the jug with colored water so that you can easily see the vertical difference between the entry hole and the exit, which will show the level of the colored water and tell you the vertical angle of the shot after the water drains from the lower exit hole. I plan to use a broadhead, which will make a neat drain hole.
You can try this up to three times on different days and use the same jug/box without needing to take BEFORE pictures after the first day.
Will post pics of set-up on phone edit shortly.
