Today's shot will be a precision shot from 9yards. Shoot at something tiny on your target and see how close you can get.

God Bless,

Fellas, I can't hit that precise this close, I should have thrown the arrow like a dart...Ha!Ha! Actually I should have backed up to 12 yards.

Anyway I missed, what's new!

9 yrds is awful close. Even that close I had trouble seeing the white nock. That's about as good as I get. Thanks CD and y'all have a great day

In spite of all the whining and belly aching about a 9 yard shot being too close everyone is looking good. :-) I shot over a doe at 7 yards elevated 18’. Grrr!

Shot as called. I love these close shots.

Thanks for the call CD!

Shot as called with my 51# Yellowstone Hunter with Herritage 150s. I was going for the Morrell bucks shoulder. I came close to a spine hit.

Matt, I shot over a buck at 9 yrds. From the ground! So I do practice from 10 yrds periodically.

Matt ; At nine yards you might as well jump on it and wrestle it to the ground and hog tie it....Ha!Ha!

Grizz, thanks for helping to eat my humble pie. I know Chad has confessed a similar miss a few years ago. It happens.

Ron, LOL! I have a friend that almost tried that with a buck from 3 yards. I asked him if he had a death wish.

Got home right before dark today so here’s my attempt. Shooting for the circled dot. It was a little high and left. Using the Freeman Lamp this evening.

Nice shooting today by everyone. Thanks for the call CD

Good shooting everyone!

I clean missed a BIG 9-pt at less than 3 steps one time... Didn't even cut a hair. I was about 9 feet above him... I could have killed him with a brick. It still haunts me..... I didn't even know that was possible.

Thanks for the call Big John. All those Howatt photos inspired me to pull out my lefty 1960 Howatt Hunter, 50+#, a better bow than I am an archer. But I missed the call so I just strung the bow and let fly from 23 yards at last light.

Whoops! I see that we are back on Chad's watch!
