Okay today kegan and I were watching Byron Ferguson's "Incredible Shots" And a little after the typical Don't try this at home speech he shot the flame off of a candle. It was around this time that we said Lets try this at home. In no time i had my archery gear on and we were outside. Kegan lit the candle and stepped away, When I drew and loosed the shaft I was surprised to see that the candle's flame wasn't there any more ;D ;D 8), and after the typical shouting and high-fiving and telling everyone in the vicinity I tried it again... and it went out another time >:D Two arrows Two snuffed candles :)
Those turkeys better watch out come season ;D :)

nice shooting
but its a lot harder to put the flame of a trukey out than it is a candle.
turkey vitals are small and hard to hit with a bow,be patient and wait for a back shot.good luck and congrats
-
great shooting .. keep that up and ole Byron may have a primitive nemisis... Hawk

just had a thought, its a rare day ;)
if you have a digital camera,that has a burst mode where it can take multipal pics in a second.
have some one focus on th candle,have him teill ya the moment hes going to tak the pic,
you relase the arrow and see if ya can get a pic of that. 8) :o

Cool-that's some good shooting. Yeah, the "don't try this at home" disclaimer always made me want to immediately try this at home, too. ;D Have you ever watched the show "Arrow Affliction?" That guy usually shoots a wheel bow, but he's got a stickbow attitude and style-he's doing a lot of instinctive shooting, moving targets, trick shots and stuff. Hunts frogs, rabbits, pheasants and stuff with his bow. One of the few shows worth watching nowadays.

Hahahaha. We're gonna try that tomarrow (lemme check the camera...) >:D!
I told him the only reason he beat me to that trick is because I'm sick and out of arrows.
He doesn't buy it ;D :D!!!

Moving targets get pretty heated. Nothing hones your focus more than bragging rights :D!

What cometition??? I am just better ;D ;D :)

I have two brothers who also shoot and hunt with longbows.. when we were kids every target became a heated competition.. always shot everything three times, best of three won the match...to this day if we hunt together the tape measure comes out to determine who's shot is the closest to the heart by seasons end...I am not very competative anymore.... but the poor pitiful losers have not won a shootout with their BIG brother ten years running >:D >:D >:D :o ;)
-
It's OK Kegan, my brothers a better shot than I am too.
What makes me sick is that he never shot a traditional bow of any kind until two years ago. I made him an osage recurve and within 2 days he was waaaay better than me. Crying won't help either ::) ;D
-
LOL thats my drunken party trick.. everytime i have a house party at my place.. i get ripped. and about 2am i grab the bow and a candle. i somehow uncross my eyes and always seem to shoot out the flame. ;D 8)
-
What competition??? I am just better ;D ;D :)
-Kyle
Until the targets start moving, or getting far away >:D!
I kid, but I still had to brag about my brother's shooting ability to anyone who'd listen the next day ;D.
I jsut say it's because his form is ebtter than mine. I jsut have to work harder :D.
