    Week 18 2023 First Shot Challenge

    Happy May Day Hunters and Shooters!
    This week we go Squirrel hunting.

    Draw or print two squirrels. One sitting upright and one climbing down a tree. Same paper or separate papers…no matter.
    Two shots only for entire week…so get some practice in.
    One shot at one squirrel one day.
    Next shot another day on the next squirrel.
    You choose the order of squirrels shot.
    Down facing squirrel:
    Adults shoot from 11 yards and kiddos shoot from 5 yards.
    Upright sitting squirrel:
    Adults shoot from 7 yards and kiddos shoot from 3 yards.
    Shoot from any position.
    Call your shot and fess up to errant shots. However…
    Measure all shots to aim point of called target squirrel.
    Winner will be lowest combined measure of each days shot.
    To reiterate:
    Day 1: shoot once at one squirrel and measure
    Day 2: shoot once at other squirrel, measure, and combine measure for final total.

    My inspiration:
    I drew on a tree’d squirrel yesterday at about 11 yards but my arrow came unnocked as I drew and the bugger sauntered downhill and back up the backside of another tree. Im not a fan of shooting 30 feet up a tree so I let it go.

    Two days prior I was working on my motor bike and a squirrel came down a tree and sat upright watching me for a minute or so at 7 yards. I have alot of large animals around so I think it was trying to figure if I was a dog, duck, donkey or cow.

    Good skilling Shooters.
    Yall have a great week.
    God bless!

              We're the shots supposed to be taken on separate days? If so I missed that caveat.

                Yes Sir.
                Separate days. Separate shots.
                Reshoot your 11 yard downtree facing squirrel and remeasure. Total your measure day 1 7yds and day2 11 yards.

                Reiterating a reiteration…
                Good shooting Shooters

                          Skip the intent or inspiration next time. Im still learning brevity.

                          Down tree: 1” off squirrel
                          Total: 2 11/16” no hits

                          MrDude youve a further measure but you shaved the squirrel. I dont like my rules.
                          Good shot.

                              Daaaaang. ^^^

                              I was sure my first shot wasn’t worthy of measure.

                              2nd shot coming
