Happy 4th weekend to all!
Similar target to previous couple, with a little twist: going to shoot it quartering away. The target is a piece of 8.5"x 11" copy paper placed horizontally. Four inches from each side edge of paper draw vertical lines from top to bottom of paper. Scribble vertical "fur" all over paper. The middle area between the two vertical lines will be "scores" or "hits". To score, count the "hits" between the lines and measure the one "hit" closest to the line nearest shooter -- the measured arrow is potentially a tie-breaker.
So, target face should be quartering-away about 45 degrees (either direction) from you, and your target is the vertical line closest to you -- however, hitting "outside" the line doesn't count as a "hit" because it would be too far back and likely wound an animal or be a difficult recovery. Picture a medium pig quartering-away, and you need to impact fairly far back but not too far.
First three shots of a day as follows: (and up to three days' of tries allowed)
9 yards, kneeling (one or two knees) -- 5 for kids
12 yards, sitting (stool or chair) -- 7 for kids
15 yards, standing -- 10 for kids
Winner will be the one with the most "hits" -- between the vertical lines (touching line counts as "hit") -- on any single day. If more than one gets three "hits" on a single day, the winner will be the one with the closest arrow to the line nearest the shooter.
Good luck and have fun!
I won't be posting pics for a couple of days due to phone being out of commission, till I get a new one.
