Today's shot will be the Horizontal Obstruction Shot from 23 yards. This is the shot where there is something about half way between you and the target (at 12 to 15 yards) that blocks your vision to the kill zone; but your arrow should arc over the object without any issues. Post pics of your view to the target if you like. Shoot safe!

God Bless,

I'm ashamed to say I have never practiced or tried this shot. I set it up as described with the obstruction about half way to the target.

I knew the shot would work but I had no confidence in my ability to judge the thing so I used a judo head so I could find my arrow behind the target. I really expected to shot high. It was foggy and 50 degrees at 0730. I am still shooting my Ben Pearson 45# Special. I am having some back and neck issues and can't move up to the 57# Jeffery's yet. Man, I am happy with the shot. I am going to practice it some more right now. Thanks CD.

Good morning 1st shooters, and thanks Chad, shot as called, picnic table obstruction. Warming up here, 88 today! Deer are molting, summer is here! Y'all have a great day and GOD bless America!

Wyatt, that Zipper has a magnetic eye for the heart shot. Definately a short blood trail and a very dead deer!

Glad I got my turkey hunting in Tuesday. Thunderstorms started about 3:00am and it is to rain all day. Has lightened up a little now. Shot from under the elevated deck by the garage.

Black Widow PSRV and a 2213 with a Zwickey Delta. Glad all my hunting feathers are treated with Loon Fly Spritz. Best waterproofng I have found. The arrow in the target was sprayed four years ago and still just beads the water without letting it soak in.

Thanks for the call CD. Great day to all.

Forgot, I took the shot sitting on the little three legged bling chair.

Morning , shot over bag target on top of patio table! a tad to the left, but I think we would be eating backstraps. Thanks for the call, and everyone stay safe!! MAB APG today 45@ 29! Love that bow!

Morning FS shooters! I took my shot as called with a Blacktail Elite 50# and a POC. Prayers out to all in need! Thanks CD for the call. Some nice shooting this morning!

Shot as called. Had to sit on a bucket so my obstruction would block the vitals. Prayers for all in need. Thanks for keeping up with the First Shot call CD

Well that didn't work try again!

All My Best, Fred

63 and partly sunny and windy. I feel I got lucky on this one. These horizontal obstruction shots are not my specialty. Shot taken with my Great Northern Pure Michigan longbow.thanks for the call. Best to all.

My Shot

Thanks for the callout CD. Some good shooting today.

I spent part of yesterday helping to setup our local 3D shoot.

Took my shot shooting over part of the bedded elk antlers into but under one tine into the standing elk.

The result was a little to high. Lucky to even hit it the way the wind was blowing 27 mph.

Well... 3 tries and it looks like the site is choking on the second picture. Will try again later. Shot was OK.

Some great shots today fellas, afraid I'm gonna stink it up a bit. Shot as called after dinner with my usual set up.

Kneeling at 25 yards with the 58 lb. Bushbow and doug fir arrow. First arrow had the elevation right but was too far back, gut shot him. Took a second shot to put him out of his misery. Thanks for the call CD. Best to all.
