Our Moving target

That is a neat idea. I learned alot shooting a rifle at one at a cub. Was that hard to built?

 

Yeah H those are a very cool shoot. we have a club up here that has one and do I ever enjoy it. Thanks for the pics, HS

 

yup, shot the famous "Running Deer". very difficult shot.

I'm working on a little side project that will be awesome when I'm done and may involve moving targets ;P

 

hush hush........

 

Oh great.... Dredly's gone "Secret Squirell" on us..... can't wait to see what that think tank comes up with...:tape: :biggrin1:

 

the think tank?????

thats not really what I would call it......

secret squirell????

thats great...hey chris could you change dredly's user name to secret tree rat????

 

It's a little hard to convey sarcasim over the web. "think tank" was intended as sarcasim.
Secret tree rat!!!!! or STR for short! :tape: :biggrin1:

 

same here I think......:noidea:

 

ound: ound: Thats to funny boys.
Dreadly you had better be careful they are teaming up on ya. Course it take 2 or 3 good men to get a good man hun dread. :biggrin1: HS

 

ummm... what? Something about you calling me Hun and telling me to find a good man worries me a bit :Cry:

 

You might have to define sarcasm...Keep the words small next time..:biggrin1:

 

Don't get noe ideas big guy. You ain't made right. That was postta to be a h not a n. Anyway that would have been Hon. Also a down was to be typed too.
And I thought only Billys didn't know thier letters., HS

 

wow did we hyjack that one or what????

 

Yeah, that's cool. One of our local hunting clubs have something like that on their 3D course. There is an old car wheel fastened to a post that free-wheels. You wind the cord on the wheel and let the wheel go, draw, and fire away. It's a tough shot for sure.

I've shot moving targets with a recurve but I think with a compound it could cause some trigger punchin. ??Can you use back tension on a moving target???:noidea:

Sounds like the guys around here are hijacking and getting ready for some good old TAG TEAM WRESTLING.eace:

 

On the moving target out here you can use a back-tension however you still need to lead-off the target so there's a couple of things going on that can mess you up. You probably have 3-4 seconds to get the shot off before the target goes behind trees...

The first time I went to this place I led the target off a little too much and stuck the shot in a tree. You have a propensity to either go for the vitals or just hit the thing. If you go for the vitals it's easy to lead-off the target too much and 'WHACK !' -> Arrow in tree... Makes it fun though. A laugh a minute... I love being in groups that have not seen that before...
:laugh:

That place's first 'target' is a pair of frogs, one attached to each end of a 3 foot wooden beam that's attached at the center to a motor that runs around 20-25 rpm. You have to sit on a cooler, put your foot on the motor switch to start the frogs spinning, and then shoot. You shoot 2 arrows, one at each frog. You score the better of the 2 arrows. That's another hoot to watch somebody that's never done that before. It's also the first of 40 targets in the 3D range and it really gets your attention. The frogs are about 10 yards away. The first time I saw it I was laughing so hard I couldn't draw the bow. I had to let a couple of people go through me/us so I could get my composure...

I'd like to see somebody try a BT release on that sucker...
:laugh:
