Title: Stump Shootin' Fun
Post by: PrimitiveTim on January 21, 2014, 09:49:05 pm
Went out in the woods shootin' at natural targets.  It was a lot of fun and I really challenged myself... er I mean I took shots I had no business taking.  Oh well, all in good fun.

Especially if you throw a couple of young 'uns into the mix. Some serious fun right there!

Used to get my butt handed to me shooting yucca in a pasture with my old bow mentor.  We'd play "horse", with him spotting me h...o...r...  LOL!

And you can't just pick the new target.  There has to be a story.  I.e. 15 yds, downhill, the yucca with two of last year's flower stalks?  It's a bull elk, head down to the left....cows over the ridge chirping, he's about to turn and head over the ridge, TAKE 'HIM!  Twang! "Son of a..."

Better practice for real world hunting than standing at the standard 20 yds aiming for the same size bull's eye tareget you have been shooting for months.  UNLESS you have trained deer to stand at that exact distance and have bred them to have a bull's eye pattern right over their heart and lungs.

Great video Tim! I probably would have fell out of that tree trying to carry my bow and arrows.

Lol, my quiver did get hung on a branch and I didn't even notice.  I got to the trunk of the tree and saw my quiver hanging on the end of the limb.  Had to climb back and get it.  I thought for sure I would fall.
