Today's shot will be 18 yards elevated with vertical obstructions. Place an obstruction on both sides of the kill zone, and let her rip. It's OK to shoot from the ground if you are unable to get safely elevated. God bless and shoot straight!

9/10, it's the first shot that counts! Seems like you're dialing back in pretty quickly!

Melon Head shot him "in the belly" with her 20# Kodiak Cub.

Thanks for the call!!

Bobby, Melon Head is getting her anchor down pat and you are putting them in there also.

Great shot 9/10 like Big John said it's the first that counts.

Great shot Backyard, Have a Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Did todays shot at 18 yards but did a little stumpin, I put two hawks in the stump and shot between them, man was that stupid, I did alright though.

Both arrows were a couple I made many moons ago for my Damon Howatt Martin 45lb Ventura, I just grabbed them and shot, they did pretty good....I think that stump is petrified, talk about hard, I shot a few more into it afterwards and they bounced off.

Both were cedars by the way........RonG

Did shot as called except I shot from the ground instead of elevated. Used my 51# Predator w/Herritage 250s. I think I'm getting out of my Slump!:^) I also put the 2 boards a little closer than I have in the past. Nice call!

Lance?...what lawn? LOL!

Good to see you back on the FSOD Bill.

Lance, the grass doesn't have a chance here it's so hot in the summer you have to water constantly, the weeds do very well though, My uncle told me many years ago that he would never live in Florida because of the lousy grass.....Ha!Ha!

Great shooting Grizz, you have them sticks pretty close together.
