First shot of the day on Trad Gang is still going on. They're coming up with some tuff ones. The latest is; Shoot a business card stood on end and hit the leading edge. This is how it is shown. Well I took my turn at it this morning. The following is what I posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trad Gang Member Member # 9280 posted May 29, 2009 12:58 PM Ya know I had a feel'n this was a come'n. Hitting a ping pong ball was hard enough, now this! Can a "Gobbler Guillotine" be used, not that I have any? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted May 29, 2009 1:53 PM HOLY CRAP, I DID IT! On the first round, third shot I hit the card. I shot from about 15 yards. I shot a second round and I was close but not as good as the first round. Then I moved back to my usual 20 yard shooting position and said to myself "what the hell, have at it". On the third round, third shot I hit it dead on it's edge! I knew I should have had the video camera out there today. Notice the card on the ground. Arrow in-line with stick to hold card. You can see the tear in the edge of the card in this picture. I never thought I'd be able to do that! I guess it's that old saying, I'll take LUCK over Skill everytime!
It was my turn to pick the challenge this time, here's what I posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well here's my entry for the "Candlestick Challenge". I had a REAL BLAST trying this one. I came very close to snuffing out the flame, put a couple of arrows through the flame but didn't put it out. I wish I had taken pictures of the arrows in the backstop but oh well. I hope y'all enjoy this challenge. I look forward to seeing how everyone does. Shooting in the dark is a different experience. Good luck. Here's the video, click on it to view for those of you that might not know:
Good stuff Robert!!! What conclusion did you come up with after this? Are you an Instinctive shooter? They say this Is the test to do to prove It. Thanks for sharing!!
Some say there is no such thing as "instinctive shooting" that it's all different forms of gap shooting. I think that's semantics. I like to think of myself as an "instinctive shooter", yes Steve.
