Long range practice

[ildrhntr]

I have been practicing everyday for my trip to Wyoming. Here are some pictures of my 50 and 60 yard shots. I would probably never take a shot at an animal this far but it sure does make those 20,30, and 40 yard shots seem easier when you have been shooting at longer distances.

Looks good. Always nice to practice at that range but I aint slinging an arrow at sixty yards at a deer.

[Adjam5]

That is why you practice those long shots...so the close ones are chip shots. Nice shooting and Good Luck in Wyoming.

best practice to have is shooting and pushing your limits

I am going to move out to 70 yds tomorrow. I figure if i can stay steady enough at 70 yds to put one in the boiler room each time then i should be good to go at 20 and 30 yds.....

were going to have a lot of fun out in Wyoming in sept. when i was out there last year, i was amazed at how open the country is. a bowhunter should plan on extending his range out west. shots to 50 yards and further are available, but hopefully the weather will be hot and dry and the antelope will be coming to water. which means shooting from inside a ground blind and hopefully closer shots.

i plan on picking up a doublebull blind and a antelope target so i can get used to shooting from a blind. shooting from a sitting or kneeling position is a lot differant than the usual standing position most of us practice from.

cant wait to meet evertone and get the chance to finally get a shot at a speed goat.

Well, I'm glad we think somewhat alike. I have been shooting off my stool in my double bull blind. Got it set up in the yard.





I used that small buck target because I'm cheap and didn't want to buy an antelope target. It's about the same size as a good antelope buck. I am lookiing forward to meeting everyone too. Should be good time.

I'll 2nd that!!

Nice grouping. Good luck in Wyoming...hope you smack a big speed goat.

[JDAWG]

Nice shootin'. Good luck out west!

Nice shooting...............Those groups are more than acceptable. That target is small. I know cause I have the same target. Anyway.........in the woods I probably wouldn't try it but in the open plains you have to be able to shoot 60 yards.
