You are a shooter sir! Thanks for posting.

I gotta call that second shot a hit;-) Wicked shooting Rick!

From: Rick Barbee

Thanks guys.

Aaron, I inspected the tee for a nick, and nothing, so although it was very close I think the fletching just clipped it. Don't count till I break it.

Hey Rick. I just gave up that fr*&^%ng game and have plenty of those tees and balls so if you need replacements, let me know. Might try that shot myself. Always looking for a new target shooting approach.

One of these days you'll learn to shoot that bow little brother. 8^).

Thanks again guys.

George, when you call me little brother it always puts a big ole grin on my face. Love Ya BroGeo. 8^)

Last night I thought about this shot a lot. There were two things causing me trouble: (1) I could not see the tee. I see the ball well, and was just trying to focus above it.

(2) It was all swinging in a circle instead of a nice straight swing.

The solution I hope will be: (1) I painted the tee red, and (2) I glued the string so it runs straight off the tip of the tee.

It's to hot to go out & try it now, but we'll see if the modifications help after while when it cools down.

Very nice I hope this catchs on I would love to see more of it. Thanks Mr Barbee

I noticed when I walked by a bit ago, that the glue hadn't held the string stuck down. A little shrink tubing fixed that problem.

I think U Can Rick :)

From: Rick Barbee
Date: 30-Aug-15




J.R.

I think I can too.

It may be a week, a month, or even a year from now, but I'll get it done. LOL

The hardest thing about a shot like this is timing the swing. At 10 to 15 yards with a fast bow you can almost shoot directly at the target & hit it. Beyond 20 yards it gets a little more tricky, and you have to lead the target quite a bit.

I'm not going to cut my hair, or shave until I get this one in the books.

By that time I may look like Ron LaClair.

Titleist are a lot easier to hit.

From: Rick Barbee
Date: 30-Aug-15




Mike, that's why I'm using a TopFlight, I don't want to hit the ball. 8^)

Awesome Rick. What a great idea for a shot. What are you looking at when you shoot Rick? When I am shooting at a single item like that I am hunting it down. When I do a shot like the two swinging candles I am picturing the space in between the two and shooting for that. Just curious about how you do it too.

Jeff

From: Rick Barbee
Date: 30-Aug-15




Jeff, I focus on the target. At this distance I try to pick it up in focus, and then swing in front of it to shoot.

At the closer distances I usually only have to shoot at leading edge.

Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug.

Today was a bug day. 100 degrees & feeling rushed, so didn't do so good.

I think a broadhead would have hit the last shot.

From: Rick Barbee

Rooty, that last shot was a broadhead. It nicked it.

Brings back memories rick i used to do the same thing with ping pong balls hung out in front of the butt,i hit one several times at 20 yards but never penetrated one.

From: Partagas

What bow are you using?

From: Rick Barbee
Date: 01-Sep-15




Partagas, I am using a Big Foot Sasquatch SS Static tip ILF 64" recurve. It is 64# @ my 29.5" draw.
