Today's shot will be a little different... stand facing the target at 16 yards (toes pointing at the target) and make your shot.
God Bless,

Morning. Tough shot for me. Totally messed up my form. I had to shoot the bow in a vertical position which I'm not use to.
Shot as called. Arrow went low and to the right. :(
1972 Bear Super Kodiak
55#@28"
Cedar arrow.

Gee whiz folks my arrow went left, totally messed me up and I thought I had it figured out...LOL!
Good luck to the rest, don't feel bad Frank that was a weird feeling, I should have shot from the waist.
Bow Hickory, one of my two favorite longbows.
Arrow Surewood Douglas fir

Good call CD. You made us think a bit more than usual. I did a couple of practice draws while twisting my torso and leaving my feet planted towards the target just to make sure I wasn't going to hurt myself! Then I took the shot using my Freeman longbow and a POC arrow. Got to full draw but just shaved some hairs. This stance really changed my dymanics. I hope that you all have a nice day. Lance

Good call. This shot favors the flexible! :)
So, first shot I've taken in nearly two weeks since burning my hand. Pain caught up at about 2/3 draw and my brain said "get rid of it". The arrow turned out was missing a fletch to boot. LOL
The turkey got a walk.
Thanks for the call.

Well that was awkward, but fun. This is my 2nd shot, my first shot hit a good foot lower and bounced off the wood frame that my bales are sitting on ??. Shooting the Indian Seneca today.

That was a little different. Thanks. Bit of a challenge to get a tight group that way.

This is one of those days when I’m glad it’s first SHOT and not first Group...
FS was the red/yellow fletched 1916, which is the correct spine for this bow... right where I was looking here in the “vitals” (8” X 10”); the rest weren’t great, but acceptable for anything with hooves, I suppose...
For the FS, I just pivoted at the hips so that the shot was nothing out of the ordinary... it was when I started trying to do something different that I started falling apart some...

Took a few more to confirm that pivoting at the hip is the right choice for me in this scenario.... Sent 2 down the middle before I ripped one high and dropped the next one low, but at least I was on the line...
Good challenge (I especially appreciate the ones that I can take as called for range!)

Shot as called. Way left and high. :^( Used my 51# Yellowstone Hunter with Herritage 150s. It's a cold 22° and breezy day. It was going right through me today. Only shot about 6 or 7 more arrows and went home. Nice Call! It was a little difficult.

Very difficult! I think the standing 180 and rotating to shoot behind is easier than this. It's going to happen to somebody this coming season. LOL

That was a first for me. It wasn’t as hard as the other twister you call though. Thanks CD. Have a great evening everyone.

Grizz, I think we need something a little stronger than coffee.

You're probably right Ron. But I'll have to settle for the coffee. :-)
