OK Folks, here we go. Remember now, you can;t start shooting until Monday the 4th

Rules:

Everyone shoots in the same class. One winner. High score wins a trophy.

Scoring is based on your honor, no cheating.

Target is to be made by the shooter. It should be a standard paper 8.75” paper plate. If a larger plate is used, all area outside the 8.75" diameter is a no score area, and should be marked out, or cut away. If you have a compass, you can draw the target on a piece of cardboard.

Draw a scoring ring 1.5” from the outer edge of the 8.75" scoring area, and a second ring 3” in from outer edge. Use a quarter ($.25) to shape a center ring.

The outer area will score 2 points. The next area scores 4 points. The center will score as 6 points. The quarter size center also scores as 6 points but also scores as an x which will serve as a tie breaker in the event it is needed.

Any arrow touching a line will score as the highest of the two values.

You can shoot as many warm up arrows as you want at a non-tournament target, but once you put the tournament target on your back stop, you only get 5 warm up arrows.

Shooters will shoot 20 scoring arrows. Sooting must take place, and all scores must be posted from 12:01 A.M. to 11:59 P.M. on Labor Day, Monday September 4th 2017

Shooting distance for this 2017 event will be 20 yards.

Shoot your hunting set up.

Post your score and the number of Xs on Labor Day. Posting pictures of your shooting is encouraged, but not required.

Winning shooter is not eligible to compete next year (2018).

Winning shooter will be responsible for making the trophy for the 2018 event.

Winning shooter will also be responsible for starting up the 2018 event, and posting these rules for that event.

I'll figure out this year trophy in a day or two

Mike

Looking forward to it - even though I stunk it up last year.

This is fancy. I'll try before I grill 30 chicken quarters that afternoon.

Make that 31 Shade, I'll be over around 3:00.

This sounds like a good time, but I don't know if my shoulder could take it. We'll have to see when the time comes.

I'll do it when I get back from deer hunting. A fun idea.

Missed it last year but I am in this year. Regards

Hmmmm.... wonder if I can get a decent backstop at 20?

TTT

I'll be that guy.... What's the trophy

hope I do better this year. thank

I'm in Mingo

I'm in Mingo

MnM, you've got competition heading your way, best of luck !

Ready to start. Can't post pictures but I havean honest face. Good luck all.

You guys only have 5 days of practice left.

MnM wrote " I'll be that guy.... What's the trophy" my answer is does it matter :) Seriously though its supposed to be an engraved glass plaque if my co-worker gets it finished for me.

Mike

This will be my 3rd year? I believe? I'm in for sure, but gotta ask, where is Rick Barbee? I believe this was his baby originally? Hope he's ok.

I'm here. Don't know if I will get to shoot it or not.

I believe Sipsey River (John Sullins) was the feller who got the LWLDC going back a few years ago.

Good Shooting, and Have Fun to all those who get to participate !!!

Rick

In hopes/anticipation of getting to shoot in this, I got me a target ready to go.

Didn't have any paper plates on hand, but I've been practicing the indoor vegas round, so I have several of these 40cm vegas targets.

I modified the target to meet the LWLDC specifications.

The outer edge of the blue ring is 8-3/4". It, and the dark line at it's inside is the specified size 2 point scoring ring.

Any arrow outside the blue ring will score zero.

The red ring is the specified size 4 point scoring ring

The yellow spot is the specified size 6 point scoring ring, and the black dot is the specified size X-ring for it.

Now I just hope I get to shoot it come Monday. 8^)

Rick

I did not start this event, I won it the first year and then posted it for the second year. I think this is the 3rd or 4th year.

Here was the original 2017 LWLDC prize. Unfortunately it had an accident. A replacement is in the process of being completed.

Mike

Lol...No it doesn't really matter I don't do much winning anyways. But will give a go for fun.

TTT... Hope all do well tomorrow

Mike

I need to hurry and make a target I'll join the fun

Looking forward to it. Hope I don't embarrass myself.

9/10 Broke I may had a shoulder injury but I'm not blind you've been shooting great.

The person who started this event was 6Point in 2014.

Ill try to be in it but I think we're working in the Orchard tomorrow

I guess I'll have to shoot 3 arrows over and over again I don't have 20 arrows?? all I have is 3 so Y'all know a man that lost all his arrows don't stand a chance but it's all in good clean fun right! Oh yeah we shoot target points right ? Not broadheads? I see where it said shoot our hunting set up?

Lol good luck

I'm game. Will be posting my results after work. Good luck to all.

I'll try it and hope I don't stink it up too bad.

Fear not - I will be getting the stink award, but going to try anyway!

I got 82 with 1 miss and 1 X. 5 practice shots circled in orange sharpie. Shooting my Omega Imperial, Black Eagle Carnivores. Hmmm... my photo is PNG, wont allow me to upload. I'll post it if I figure it out.

It's Labor Day and I have Labor to do so I'm up and at it. Shooting comes first.

I shot 3 arrow ends with the last end 2 arrows at 20 yds. I had I miss and I x. My score was 86.

This was the first time I participated and enjoyed it a lot. Other than my miss, I was pretty happy with my shooting. I look forward to seeing everyone's shooting. Have fun and enjoy your Labor Day everyone. Jim

Here's how I scored. Hope you can see it.

That's a good score man. Nice shooting!

Good shooting.

Being a former winner, I added a handicap to myself. Rather than shoot from 20 yds, I shot from 25 yds. No pics but a score of 92 with only 3xs. It was fun!

Was doing great until the 3rd end. Ended up with an 80 and 1x. Oh well, very fun. Gonna keep practicing. 1966 Kaibab #50@28. Easton FMJs .500s with 225gr points.

5 practice

6x6 - 36 (3x) 7x4 - 28 4x2 - 8 2 miss Total - 72

Good shooting fellas, Regards

Can't shoot today busy with family good luck to everyone

Wow! Just noticed Sipseys score. 25 yds with your hunting setup....you da' man! Regards

here's my result. no warm up no practice. figured I'd play just for fun.

took 5 set of 4 shots, and there was a set where I hit absolutely nothing! this is the first time I'm shooting at circle target, and wow it feels weird! to say the least.

The end score is 38. I bet no one can do worse! :)

hope everyone have a good day today! -ted

Someone will beat a 92 for sure.

54 for me

shot with: 41# Wing Gull 64" amo(Head Ski), maple riser;

xx75 aluminum Easton Tribute 2016 full length shafts with 175 grain points; 3x4" fletching.

Fun. See you next year

OOPS, I screwed up my scoring. I'm an idiot. Thanks for the PM Dao with the heads up - I was comparing my targets with others posted, and I noticed my goof up.

Score should be 90-2x, not 54.

I was using the "quarter" circle as "6 points" (and the "X"), then the ~ 3" diameter ring a "4" (should be "6 points"), and the ~ 6" circle was a "2" (should be "4 points"), and outside that, was scored "0" (should be "2 points/each").

I originally posted the ring scores in pen with circles around them on my original submitted picture of the target as 2-4-6 )going upwards to "2 o,clock". Upon rescoring, with the 2-4-6-x rings now in RED (at the :9 o'clock position" on the target, the same target gets a 90-2x.

SO, if it was golf, and I signed the wrong score-it would be a penalty stroke. Sorry guys and ladies. Honest mistake.

SCORE: 90-2x, less penalty stroke. Still with the 41# Wing Gull (46# @ my draw length).

I just can't follow directions. Ask my wife for proof. :-)

My third year and my best score. I'm happy as a pig in poop. 70 with 2x's.

9/10, youdaman (so far). Good shootin sir. Good shootin from everyone.

Oops, forgot pic.

Good shooting guys and gals. Mine wasn't to hot but it was fun.

66 and 3x'

46 points for me. 51# Predator w/ Herritage 250s. Did my 1st shot of the day shots for my warm up. Pressure was realy on today with both threads to do. But it was fun!

I decided to add a little more challenge by alternating between bows & arrows.

It proved to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated.

BUT, I still had fun doing it !

Rick

 

That last end of 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, - 24 / 3X was a typo.

Should have read - 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, - 30 / 3X

Rick

I made a yoeman effort, started off strong but the mosquitos found me quickly and I hate trying to shoot with skeeters in my ears and eyes. 82 with 1X only. 1961 Gordon > Browning Explorer prototype, 56#, with MicroFLite fiberglass arrows.

I shot 36. My 5 year old daughter didn't want me poking holes in the target. She didn't have to worry too much.

Guys I had a great day with no plate misses - which means most to me. I shot a 98 with 3x's. Picture of Rd 3 which was my best round. Rd1 = 16 Rd2 = 20 w/1 x Rd3 = 24 w/2 x's Rd4 = 20 Rd5 = 18

Total = 98

Mingo

First year trying, was alot of fun. Shot a 66.

Rick Barbee,

You SMOKED that last end! 6,6,6,6,6 w/ 3-x WOW.

Great shooting.

58 for me.

3 warm up shots (shot of the day)

Then:

0, 0, 2, 6, 6 0, 0, 2, 4, 6 2, 4, 4, 6, 6 0, 0, 2, 4, 4

Less than amazing (those blanks hurt), but so much fun.

Thanks everyone!

Great shooting Mingo. Jim

Posted the wrong pic..my First Shot effort. Here's my Labor Day Challenge with scores by round on the upper left edge.

Well all the warm ups I took used up what little strength I had and my shots got progressively worse. Ended up with 38 and a tired arm. Still not ready for the heavier bow. But I'm progressing.

Full day of yard work and then some grille time but I'm finally able to shoot. Here is round one - 18 points.

Round 2 - got a pair of 6's, but canceled them out with a miss.

Rd 1 - 18 pts

Rd 2 - 18 pts

Round 3 - a little better. 2-6's and 3-4's. Still haven't cut an X.

Rd 1 - 18 pts

Rd 2 - 18 pts

Rd 3 - 24 pts

Round 3 - a little better. 2-6's and 3-4's. Still haven't cut an X.

Rd 1 - 18 pts

Rd 2 - 18 pts

Rd 3 - 24 pts

Oops - sorry about the double post. Fell apart a little on the last round with 1 - 6, 1 - 4, 2 - 2's, and another miss.

Rd 1 - 18

Rd 2 - 18

Rd 3 - 24

Rd 4 - 14

Total of 74 with no X's. Thanks for putting the tournament again.

Forgot the pics - rd 3

Guys I just realized after going through the posts I shot and posted 5 rounds (25 arrows) not 4!! Whew - I'll drop my 5th round score which puts me at an 80 NOT 98. Apologies!!!

Great day shooting nonetheless

Mingo

Rd - 4

Posting again just to make sure!

84 with my homemade hill Thanks for keeping the tournament alive!

62 with a bighorn ram hunter and wood arrows,mule.

92 & 1 x . Not bad for doing it in extremely low light conditions! Lol! Lots of fun can't wait for next years challenge.

6,6,4,4,2=22 6,6,4,4,4=24 6,6,4,4,2=22 6,6,6,4,2=24....with one X total 92 with a bow I bought from another LWer, Tomas Alexander.

Not what I had hoped for. Shot a 68. Need to change up how I practice sometimes, most arrows I've shot for awhile. This was fun! Thanks.

Well it was so windy up here in CO today, I had to wait 'til almost dark to shoot! Shot the Bear Montana (my hunting rig for this season) and a couple of woodies. Shot 10 ends of 2 arrows and scored an 88 w/3x's. So pretty happy w/ that. And no misses for a change! Enjoyed the shoot, we need to do this more often! I then changed to my new to me Wing Slimline and shot an 86 w/2x's, so consistent anyway. Wyatt

1. 16 pts 2. 18 pts 3. 18 pts 4. 10 pts 5. 18 pts Shot 5 rounds of 4 arrows with a total score of 80.

Well Archers looks like we had a good turn out with some fine shooting. Even though I was technically eligible to shoot, I didn't to keep with the spirit of the contest.

I'd like to thank all those who participated and a big Congratulations to 9/10 Broke with the great score of 98

Here are the top 3

1- 9/10 Broke - 98(1x)

2- Sipsy River - 92(3x)
