Week 9 Traditional First Shot Challenge 2023

[Briar Friar]

The most recent arrows I have lost have been from shots on a prone squirrel. One feeding prone below foot down hill. One above head on side of a tree. I hate losing 300 grain broadheads or any broadhead at that and no dead squirrel.

Draw a side view of a tree rat in the prone.
Front to back, nose to rear… 9”.
Body about 1 3/4” high. Head about 1 1/4” high.
Place your aim point where you deem appropriate.
Place your target squirrel below knee level to include below foot at any angle you choose.
Only strikes on body count for measure.
Line riders get measured…tail not included.
Measure edge of shaft to aim point.
Adults shoot from 16 yards.
Kids shoot from 8 yards.
Best measure of 3 days first shot wins.

Have a great week and good skilling Shooters.
God bless!

Good one bf

Thanks Mr Dude.
I put on 2 squirrel stalks last week and they houdini’d me.
Losing arrows makes me go trigger shy for fear of losing another arrow. Only practice helps me build confidence to conquer that fear.

Briar: not understanding the placement. Is it below knee high or below one foot off the ground?

Any where below your knee…which can include below your feet.

Ive got a few boulders delineating yard lines on my range. Often I shoot standing on top of my boulders to practice shooting downward below feet level.

For guys like us that'd be about the same.

I was happy with today's shot until I downloaded the pic, failed to tape up a previous hole.

Day 1: DQ'd

[Briar Friar]

Good shot Reb!
How does the extra un-taped hole DQ you?
IMO… youre in the lead at 7/8”-1”.

[Briar Friar]

Day 2: 2 1/2”

[tradtiger]

Good shooting y'all.

My Day 1: gut shot, but won't be stealing any of more dog food. Lol.
