Thanks Mrs stonewall for fixing those pics. For everyone else, she’s not a late entry, she had her pictures posted on her husband’s thread by deadline, I just had her move them to her own post.

probably, today, but I have one more person who made deadline and is fixing photos. I hate to disqualify anyone who finished the challenge on time but had tech difficulties... Stay close.

well crap, this ain't gonna happen today! It's almost 6 and I'm not off work yet, so....tomorrow is your day. thanks all. Glad I waited, as Billy Goat noticed his name and another guys were on the list twice--now that's some honesty there. While you're waiting, check the list for me and make sure you don't see anything funky.

Working on this right now. It came to my attention that some of the photos I was waiting to be fixed had been showing at one time (I know because I qualified them myself-like PHo's) and they aren't showing now.

So, I gotta make an executive decision here...

If there are five "attachments" showing in a thread, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and qualifying those shooters. I've always thought people should know how to post photos (there's like 10 tutorials out there by members that work) but if it's truly a tech glitch, I don't wanna disqualify guys who did the work. I guess one or two could slip through the cracks, but I wanna give the benefit of the doubt.

So the list will grow by a few in the next few minutes but then I'll draw! Stay close...

Using Random.org, I assigned a number to each qualifier in the division, drew the numbers and awarded the prizes in order they appear on qualifier list. Members can trade prizes if they'd like.

The official results are:

Thanks for participating everyone and congratulations to the winners!

Moneyball, reply to the email I just sent you and your Iron Will Broadheads will be on the way.

I didn't have enough time between setting up a new bow and leaving on a bear hunt to participate yet, but I'll be doing this soon as I think it is a great way to measure your true effective range.

Special thanks to Robby (v100 @ 60 yards) and Tony Trietch (s125 @90 yards) for using Iron Will broadheads for your groups. Nice Shooting!

Congratulations to the winners. I am going to do this again at 80 if I have time. I'll go ahead and post my results if I do to keep myself honest.

Sure thing Bill, I've continued shooting those same two heads, probably 75 shots on each of them now, flying true and still pretty sharp. They shoot right with my field points to 50-60 then a little lower after that. Good shooters for sure.
