    Thanks Black Ovis for the generosity and Rokslide for putting this on, it was a great challenge and I learned a bit about my abilities (which definitely need work). Email sent. Frans

    Number 7 is up. An interesting challenge, thanks Robby for initiating it and Ryan for making it crazy. I have learned a few things: 1. I am better than I thought I was. Made a few great shots from beyond my maximum, and a few that were not super, but close enough to make me hopeful (close...

    Day 5.... It pains me to have to post this. 33 and half yards, 35o uphill, poor footing again. Line was good for the back of the lungs, just dropped low. I figured out what I did wrong during a few practice draws. Nose slipped under the feather due to the weird body angle, instead of on top...

    Day 4 is up, an awkward steep downhill shot. This is an area that I will practice on a lot more. Poor footing, branches to dodge, etc. Like real hunting. ;-)

    Very true! Regularly, but not always, my first arrow is OK, but there is no pressure. And usually I have a really good group somewhere in the middle, and I try to end at a high note (this all during one-two dozen arrows, recovering from injury, I have no stamina). But all those arrows don't mean...

    LOL thanks! Haven't been called a hero all that often. Only 2 out 7 though... got nervous already thinking about the one shot today.

    My contributions, shooting a 47# RD longbow made by Stalker Stickbows. I shoot a 558 gs arrow. I am still figuring out what my maximum is, I am hoping I can get good enough to be proficient up to 30 yards, from all angles positions and conditions. Day 1: This is from around 32 yards. Overcast...

    OK I am game, will start after I get back from a blitz trip to the bears... at least we hope the bears will be there. I will be using a strugglestick. :-) Frans

    Alberta antelope

    Came across these antelope on the weekend. Anybody want to wager a guess on the length of horn on that buck? I saw a few more of the same caliber, not monsters obviously. https://vimeo.com/139846297 Frans
