All this discussion of Old Farts elk hunting has had me looking at all manner of information on the topic, and in The Elk Thread on here near the current end (about page 102) there is a video showing a frontal shot on an elk, with discussion and analysis of where, how big, etc. Apparently, a few inches above the color change of fur on the chest of an elk there is a 9-inch opening to the vitals. Not necessarily advising anyone to take this shot on an actual elk, but let's see if we can hit a 9-inch paper plate from 13 yards. Easy, right? Now, recall that as sportsmen we have varied interests and today is the last day of the PGA Championship -- the year's final major golf tournament. So, our target plate will have a centered 4-1/4" circle (the size of a golf hole) and a 1-3/4" circle centered inside of that (approximate size of a golf ball).
Challenge is to shoot 3 arrows from 13 yards (kids, 8 yds.) at the center of the smallest circle (can shoot and pull one at a time if you want so as to avoid damage). Most arrows in the "hole" (the 4-1/4" circle) wins next week's call. For a tie-breaker: most in the smaller circle. Just in case, go ahead and measure closest single arrow to center of circle. Remember, it was renowned golf teacher -- and Texan -- Harvey Pennick who advised the likes of Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw to "Take Dead Aim!" Works for archers, as well!
Have fun!
