Fsc 46

[Trumpkin]

For this week's challenge take an egg from your kitchen, and find some way to suspend it in front of your target. PVC pipe as a tee, perhaps?

Shoot from 13 yards seated (6 for kids).

The goal is to get as close to the egg as possible WITHOUT BREAKING IT!

Closest measure wins.

You can shoot it as many days as you like, with one caveat, once the egg breaks you're done!

Egg breaks, you lose. You cannot win with a broken egg, unless everyone else breaks it too (most attempts till broken loses least in this scenario). A cracked egg is still a broken egg.

Touch the egg without breaking it, and you win.

I love these type of "more animated" challenges.

Great call.

Eggcellent target Trumpkin.

Due to our poor economy and insane inflation I would dare say this FSC is a rich mans game. I will find some way to suspend my egg over a frying pan so I don't waste anything if it breaks! HAHAHAHA

Looks like the peanut gallery is in full force today. Let's get this thing rolling gents! I will be sorely disappointed if there aren't any slimed arrow pictures by the end of the week.

I'll start with 1 1/8" on day 1:

I like this one because there's a subliminal punishment if you hit the egg. Namely a messy arrow AND you're out of the contest.

I'm not gonna lie. I yipped a bit on my first attempt.

[Briar Friar]

Nice shot. What is yipped?

The yips. flinches, plucking, etc. are all the same thing to me. I had a tiny string pluck/back tension collapse on the shot.

[Briar Friar]

Ah. Got it. I hate flinching. Most of my flinching comes before the shot. Ive learned to let down, shake it off, then redraw. Mo betta. I think it comes with me anticipating the shot.

Still…not a bad shot for flinching.

[tradtiger]

Good shot, Trumpkin!

[tradtiger]

Figured "aim right at it, no way you hit it"...
Figured wrong. Kinda cool, though.
Did a video, have to figure out how to load it later. Suffice to say I'm out.

Definitely an anticipation issue for me. I always deal with it right at release. The fix for me is maintaining all my back tension until the arrow is in the target. High stress shots are good practice.

I've found that as my form improves my misses from this type of thing are smaller. I recently fixed a shoulder alignment issue in my shot and my flinches have less of an effect now.

Here you go trumpkin! I borrowed an egg from the neighbors so I could afford to compete... we will say that I'm officially sponsored. 13/16
