    Traditional FSC Week 27

    Same target as last week, with distance changes. Changes in Red.

    Target:8.5x11" piece of paper placed horizontally, make a 2-inch vertical pencil line four inches from one side and centered at the midpoint from top to bottom. Then just scribble all over the page with up and down strokes of pencil to imitate fur.

    Shots: three shots a day total (first shots of a day), for five days, at the vertical line as follows--
    12 yards, kneeling (1 or 2 knees);
    15 yards, seated (chair or stool);
    18 yards, standing.
    (Kids: same stances as grownups, but from 4, 8 and 12 yards.)

    Measure shots from nearest part of shaft to nearest part of line. Add measures for a single day total. Lowest single day total wins next week's call.

      Like.

      Ranges realistic for hunting; picking the aim point is a significant part of the challenge.

          I shot it this afternoon, but no pictures. It was around 9-10" and that doesn't deserve to win.

                  I took a few weeks off from my Bow and picked up my airgun to thin out some squirrels. Now I'm back.
                  1st shot @ 12yrd: 1/16
                  2nd shot @ 15yrd: 1 3/4
                  3rd shot @ 18yrd: 7 13/16
                  Day 1 total: 9 5/8

                  That 3rd shot got me.

                          12: 1 1/4”

                          I went plucky end of last week. Im trying to work my way out. Ive developed a nice deep hook groove in my shooting glove and my release is popping off my bottom finger a bit much...Im chooting flemish loose.

                          I think I need to possibly change my fletching direction too.
