And my fault, I thought the people setting up would range it, or maybe after all the shooting was done to get the exact distance.
And those really are great pics.

This last one is the only pic I got of the smoker round. A little bitty fox surrounded by rock with a smiley face painted on it. There were other targets like that, surrounded by rocks, while having to almost lay down and shoot through a hole at the same time. All the other targets were buried in trees that had almost no hole to shoot through, you just had to shoot and hope your arrow was heavy enough to barrel through without deflecting. You got one arrow to shoot with and if you lost it, or broke it to the point you couldn't shoot with it anymore, you were out of the round. I made it through, but with a low score. Tod's second round he made it through using half an arrow. It was a lot of fun.

It's not really the elevations, it's that you're shooting over the tops of full grown trees, and you have nothing normal to help you judge distance. Such as thinking that a certain tree might be 20 yds so lets double that, etc
