What are we proving here?
Nobody has to prove anything. Just like long range rifle ahooting there are people out there that like shooting their bows at longer ranges. Just thought id see if there was any interest in a competition with like minded people.

I'm all for the idea of guys destroying more blades, ferrules, arrows and targets. It's good for the industry. :chuckle:

How would your competition work? I can only see that it would last an hour or so for everyone to take 2 or 3 shots at 100 yards.

There is the standing joke at Silver Arrow Bowmen that we have been bribed to put up or moving targets or do a steel target challenge shot!What are we proving here?

When I was in the retail business we sponsored a 70 yard steel buffalo shoot at a 3-D. It was a lifesized steel buffalo/bison with a 6" hole around the top of the heart. $5 for three shots. Most arrows thru the hole won a new bow. Proceeds went to charity. By the time the shoot and tie breaker were over there was a Rubbermaid trash can full of broken arrow parts.
...We sold a lot of arrows that weekend! :chuckle:

I've thought about trying this at GFSC for one of our shoots in 2016.There is the standing joke at Silver Arrow Bowmen that we have been bribed to put up or moving targets or do a steel target challenge shot!

I assume he wants to do it with broadheads to increase the degree of difficulty for those who don't have there broadheads flying identical to field tips or as accurately. The tough part about broadheads is the cost per damaged arrow goes way up and for me the chance of cutting my own fletchings goes way up cause I am just that good....not.
This is exactly why.

I think you meant ruining and you can include my shoulder what gets ruined. I think I would lose a ton of arrows by impacting them with my broadheads and by the end of the 6th or 7th round I would be spent, needing some serious ice and ibuprofen for my shoulder.
I think my maybe is now a no. :sry:
I'd recommend turning your bow poundage down a little if it hurts your shoulder to shoot a small contest. Most folks are shooting a lot more poundage than is needed w/today's fast bows.

I can pull back and hit 20-50 yards pretty quickly, anything over that I have to hold longer. To shoot 100 yards you have to really hold steady and make sure you are on the mark. If I am shooting 5-6 arrows each time and doing 6-7 rounds in less than an hour or hour and a half that is a lot of pulling and holding in a short period of time. I just don't practice that many shots in that short of a timeframe. I could lower the poundage, switch to a different sight and stack pins I guess to get to a 100 yard shot but that just seems like a lot of work to compete in one competition.

If you do end up doing it you should set up some flyers at a couple gun ranges, I'm sure that will get it more attention. And maybe even set up something here on Hunt WA where people can donate some money for a prize to the winner?
