I got lucky and the weather moved to this afternoon. 50 with a light wind in Southern WI right now. Winds to 40mph and snow in the forecast for the evening now rather than all day. No complaints here!!! Tomorrow's shot may suck though with the wind forecast to continue. May even hold off a day as that kinda wind would probably chop 20 yards off my MER.
Hey Robby, any issue with switching up the target during the shoot? I shot the matrix the first two days and probably will the next two. I have a rinehart mini elk that I haven’t shot yet and thought the smaller target would add some
Extra pressure the last day. Which I probably don’t need bc last year I choked bad on the last day

I saw your post and didn't have a problem with it as you said, new archer, new bow, and that's all you're comfortable hunting with right now. Plus you're driving 30 minutes to shoot one arrow!!!!Hey Robby,
Thanks for this challenge. I read your post above about guys joining with unrealistic MER (new terminology to me) at ranges around 30 yards which is where I chose to shoot for the challenge. I’m new to archery so that is about as far as I can hit an 8” plate most of the time which is my rifle rule so what I went with. If I misunderstood the purpose of this challenge and you’d like to give my spot to another guy, that’s fine.
I’ve been driving about 30 min to a lower elevation (still a fair amount of snow at my house) where I’ve found some turkeys to chase with a shotgun in the late afternoon and decided I would also bring my bow and shoot one before I head into the woods. To be honest, now that I’ve started this I’ll bring my bow regardless. The hard part is only getting to shoot one arrow! Again, I appreciate your moderation of the site and doing your best to keep it clean. Let me know if I’ve misunderstood the challenge and you’d like to give my spot to another guy. If that’s the case I’d like to know so I can send more than one arrow down range the next time I go.
Thanks,
Corbett

Shooting at 55 yards: Athens Convixtion @ 68lbs, Gold Tip Kinetic Pierce Platinum, Ironwill 100 gr broadhead, Tight Spot 5, Carter release.
Day 1 is in the video, but if you don't wanna watch it, here you go:
No wind. Standing. Held for like 15 seconds. Any self respecting buck prolly would’ve just walked away.
Day 2:
40°, 5 mile an hour wind at my back. Kneeling. Man I wanted to punch that trigger so bad (same emotion I get when drawing on a buck). Finally got settled down. I still feel like this was a little bit of luck.
Day 3:
Cold today! 30° with a 16 mph wind out of the north, quartering into my face.
Standing. This was my toughest shot yet, praising God that I pulled it off. Like yesterday I wanted to punch that trigger so bad but I just kept letting it settle and kept aiming. I knew when the trigger broke I had it. This one’s for Jesus!
And I just got a commitment from @Muleyslayer1 that he’s gonna video his last arrow. He’s 3-in as of today and nailing it. Pressure’s on buddy. I say two cameras so you got one for Roklide and the other on Instagram live. Do it!!!
you're going down!!!!Hold my Dr. Pepper!
82 windy yesterday, shot this morning at 0830 temps in the 60's it's 1300 and it's 37 with winds at 20 gusting to 40. My next two days are going to be cold but no wind but I'm glad I took my shot in the AM. Located in central KS.
