Going to simulate a quartering away hunting shot on a medium-size pig. Target will have a 6" circle, with a 3"x6" rectangular box overlapping 1-1/2" as shown below.
The circle represents the vitals, but you need to aim for the back edge to hit them on a quartering shot.
Orient target face to be at about a 45-degree angle to the shooter, with the box shape closest to the shooter. Flip paper either way you want for quartering direction.
First arrow of a day, shooting for the rectangle "kill box". IF you miss the rectangle, but hit in the circle (touching lines counts as a hit for all shots), you can try a second shot within 10 seconds as a follow-up finishing shot on your "wounded pig".
As in the previous couple of weeks, we'll walk back each next day after a hit in the "kill box", starting at 10-yards, then 13 yds., then 15 yds., and finally 20 yds. (Kiddos shoot from 5,7,8 and 10 yards). Four days' tries. Winner is the one shooting from the farthest point on Day 4. Tie-breaker will be the fewest arrows used total for the most hits.
Good luck and have fun!
Target (print this or draw your own);
And set-up of mine (yours may vary)
