Stuck at Home – Putting it on the Line

I have to wonder how many tournaments we’ll get to enjoy during 2020. I see four, thus far, on my calendar that did not happen. This break from competition gives time for me to figure the best combinations of bows with gear for when tournaments re-start.

Even though I replaced this target it still had a little life remaining. Yes there are holes everywhere including some in the blue. The ranges were from 10 yards to 15 yards. (No these holes come from a bit further out)

Sitting at 65 yard with plenty of room to increase the distance. I expect some limbs will need to be trimmed as I get out to 75 + yards. At 70 yards no limbs to intersect with the arch of an arrow.

Currently, I am working at longer distances. I am also shooting lots of holes in paper. Here’s a really lucky thing – last year I picked up several used targets after an outdoor event. These targets were going to be thrown away! I wish I’d grabbed more but felt a little embarrassed digging from the pile of trash on the ground. I was assured I could take as many used targets as I wanted. I didn’t want to seem selfish so I grabbed a few. I took a limited share leaving an abundance for other people – unlike the toilet paper grab that seems for the moment to be universal.

This happens every once and a while (50 meters)

I know this shelter at home is harder for people living in cities. If you are an archer and live in Chicago or Atlanta I am sorry for you. Hang in there!
