Cold Shot Challenge

Well I took the bait and volunteered to set this thing up so here is what I got figured so far:

For the target we will use the one Todd posted. Ill add it on to the end here for reference. You can download it at www.targets.ws or if you don't have a printer but do have 8 1/2" x 11 paper the layout is as follows-
Circles with diameters
7-3/4", 5-3/8", 3-5/8", 2-3/8", 1-1/2", 11/16"
Scoring is 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 for the Bull's-eye.

The contest will run 7 weeks starting 7/20 and going thru the following Sunday.

7/20 thru 7/26
7/27 thru 8/2
8/3 thru 8/9
8/10 thru 8/16
8/17 thru 8/23
8/24 thru 8/30
8/31 thru 9/6 -Ending right before hunting season.

Distance is 20 yards. You can take your cold shot any day during that week as you like- but should be the first shot of that day. You can post your results here or PM them to me. Photo evidence not required we can just go with the honor system but if you make a nice shot no shame in showing it off a bit. It was suggested the winner should receive an item from each contestant, but we can figure that out as y'all see fit. Ill be sure the winner gets something worth while either way. Let me know if I've missed anything and good luck!

Here is the final total!

Point Puller 52(+10)
Fish30523 58(+6)
Charlie2Arrow 28(+2)

Well done! I am in as a player. Is the distance and target going to change for each week? I would assume so?

Do we submit our best cold shot of the week or do we need to decide ahead of time what day we are gonna do it and submit that shot?

Im in. Yall make sure Im understanding rules correctly. Ive printed out the targets. I choose my best first shot of the day from 7 days and then I report the best 1st shot from the 7 days. Is this correct?
Thanks bradyxps for taking the lead.

I got lucky tonight on my cold shot!! Probably be the one for the week for my score. Tomorrow will be my last chance of the week, going out of town after that.

You're assuming I can hit a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" paper at 20 yards...

I think I should have picked a bigger target! Michelle and I decided to try it tonight and this was our first shot at a measured 20 yards. 4 inches out from paydirt but no score. Our second shot of the night was better.

Hey Todd those last two shots in the pig are what counts in my book!:cool:

Haven't shot at 20 yds for several months with the longbow, guess this is going to be "extremly cold shot shooting". Some how I got a 2 this week. After several rounds of 5 arrows, some of the rust is going away. This contest will be some much needed practice for me! :cool:
