Let's make the "10 Shot Challenge" an official contest!

[jerp]

After all the talk on the "Distance" thread, why not make the 10 Shot Challenge an "official" contest? I'm thinking 10 shots at a 6" paper plate. My only question is, what distance would be a reasonable test? 15 yards? 18? 20?. Let's get a consensus on distance and get this started! You don't have to have 10 arrows - just shoot 10 times then post a pic of the plate and we'll just count the holes. I'm interested to see how many around here can go 10 for 10. Who's in? What distance ?

Sounds cool. No warm-up, correct?

[trad"Doc"53]

Always has to be one in the crowd!!

I'm in. I think Chunky already called the distance. My understanding is 10 @ 15, 10 @ 20 and 10 @ 30.

I say go ahead and warm up like you would before a tournament. Whatever you have to do to give yourself the best chance of going 10 for 10. I was first thinking 15 yards but then thought that might be too easy for some around here (not too easy for me, though) I don't practice much at 20 but if everyone thinks that's a better idea I'll give it a try.

Or two

start at 50

start at 50

At 50 yards it would have to be a pizza box instead of a plate - just so I could see it, much less have a chance of hitting it!

I would say a warmup would be appropriate since we are talking about "target shooting". 20 should work, that way we could maximize participation due to range space. Maybe after this we could start up the FSC shots for 2013!

This sounds like fun. I'll just wait to hear the final decision on the distance.

I volunteer as tribute. Um, I mean, I'm in.

Gotta start somewhere right?

Yep

Ok, let's make it 15 yards to start and see what we can do. We can do it again at a longer distance in the next contest if there's any interest. To recap:
* Warm up if you want to
* 10 shots
* 6" paper plate at 15 yards
* Post a picture of the plate
To give everybody 10 days to get it done, deadline to post your "plate pic" is next Sunday Feb 3rd. Sound OK?

Hey Jerp,

just for you (cause I like you), 5 to 1 you can't hit a pizza box 10 times in a row at 50!


I say, start close...see if you can do it at 10 then move back. Who can set the record....will it be 12, 16, 23????
