Traditional FSC Week 34

[tradtiger]

This time of year we like to say it's hot enough to fry an egg.... so, that's the target: fried eggs (in a skillet, not on a sidewalk, though).

Target: Draw or print out the one pictured below on 8.5x11 inch paper. Mine is kind of oval about 8 inches in the wide direction and about 6-3/4 in the narrower measure. Eggs are about 3" to 3-1/2", with yolks about 1" or so. The handle hole is 1-1/2" long and 3/8" at the widest part.

Shoot the first three arrows of a day from 14 yards (7 for kids) using any stance, trying to get the highest point total for a day. Up to 4 days' tries allowed. Highest single day total wins following week's call.


Scoring is as follows:
10 points for the handle hole;
5 points for a yolk;
3 points for the white;
1 point off an egg, but in the pan;
Negative 2 points for missing pan (or off paper).
Only restriction is ONLY ONE SCORING ARROW PER EGG. However, luck is a factor in that I don't care which egg you're intending to hit, you still get points for what you actually hit. After all, the whole scoring area is pretty much the size and shape of a kill zone for most game. Touching any line scores in the shooter's favor.

Good luck, stay cool and have fun!

Also, the handle is part of the pan, so hitting it away from the hole would be worth 1 point. And there is no limitation on how many scoring arrows may hit the handle hole -- in golf this would be known as a "sucker pin" placement. Or a high risk, high reward shot. So, theoretically -- Rick -- you could score up to 30 points for three arrows.

I hadn't shot for a week until Friday and then just a few arrows on a wobbly stance. I'd already shot a few today but I drew this up and will try in a day or two.

Plenty of room for improvement on mine.
Day 1: 3 pts. Not sharp from lack of shooting.

3 for me as well. Sitting.

175 was in line but directly below top right yolk. 250 was closest to its egg...at the bottom. 300 decided to take a detour from the top left yolk and walk toward the others.

Fun target TT! You aint lying about hot...it feels like being in a convection oven when stepping outside. It was 91F at 10am today.

Im sitting here about to process a chicken that died from the heat yesterday.

Yesterday...before I found the heat stroke bird...as I was finishing processing another bird (which died because it got stuck upside down in a cinder block and couldnt get out)...meat on the hoof sauntered across the lane. There are twin fawns. There were twin fawns last year too. I only killed one. I got up and shot week 33.

I kill them...they come back.

And Gary says...

That's a heckuva group, anyway, Briar!

Sorry about your yard birds.

[Briar Friar]

Unfortunate she was an egg layer. Only being about a year old...she’ll be decent eating. She was super fatty. She was eating good.

That's a sweet group Briar.
