I went to the Whittingham Shoot today with John Wert , Ray Iglesias and Mike Mohl

The weather was nice but I shot terrible

At the end of the day we decided to have a little fun and Ray, John and I decided to have a go on the Steel Deer

For those that are not familiar with the Steel Deer it is a Deer target cut out of steel with a heart sized hole in the chest

If you miss the heart, you miss the target and break your arrow

We decided that the winner would be decided by a process of elimination so to speak

We shot from the line and the old gentlemen that ran that part of the course for years said he had never seen so many arrows go thru with out a miss

I will not ruin the ending

JP, I can't see your pictures?

Sorry I missed that one JP. Wanted to be there. That looked like fun.

Way I've been shooting I would not have made it past the first round ;-)

Well that was some fine shooting.....I think you put too much pressure on yourself though.....I would have gone in the first shot me thinks...jer

 

[Mrjeffro]

Great shooting Buddy. Glad I didn't go to that shoot with you guys. I would of been peer pressured into shooting that target :cheers:

 

[JParanee]

To be fair to John he was using a borrowed bow from me at this shoot

This is why he was shooting my arrows

Ray is always a force to reckon with

The trophy we used for that end shot was won the prior week at a shoot and delivered to him there so we used it for a prop for the Steel deer challenge

Lotsa fun but I am definitely the weak link

 

[jerbearyukon]

Weak link - I don't think so......lots of pressure there bud...you gotta give yourself a break, but to have that much consistancy wow that is something..jer

Thanks Jerry but I have to be honest

Either one of these two fellows can consistently better me when shooting

I have learned a lot from shooting with very good shooters and from that I am thankful

Even thou on the fourth round john and I rung the bell the shots were only a fraction off

The target was relatively close but it shows that if that would have been a real deer we would have killed him every shot

The Steel Deer is an excellent teacher

A good watch, thanks. I go into mourning when I bust an arrow so it wouldn't be for me!

How far were you lot shooting from.

 

[JParanee]

Thanks Zulu

We shot from the line that you are supposed to shoot it from which I would say is about 12+ yds

It looks closer in the video

 

[Zulu]

I assume that was your new bow you were shooting?

 

[JParanee]

I was shooting my CH

John was shooting a Titan

Ray was shooting an ACS longbow

I'd have to pass. I lost an arrow yesterday at an IBO shoot and am having a memorial service today. I'm know to be "protective" of my arrows althogh I did hit the first target, carp at 30 yards out in the lake. It claimed two of our group's arrows right off the bat.

 

[Matt_Potter]

Nothing is more fun than novelty shoots with good friends. I can't wait for trad worlds.

 

[Josh Perdue]

Great shooting. Looked like you had alot of fun. All three of you look to be great shots. Thanks for posting.

I lost a wood arrow yesterday, lousy shot, my fault.... I HATE losing a wood arrow that takes me forever to make a set. No way I would shoot a woodie at a steel deer, I'd rather sacrifice a good carbon arrow, lol!

 

[Rick Harrelson]

Looks like fun. I never heard of a steel deer but I have heard of a Bionic Turkey.

 

[JParanee]

We also had the pleasure of shooting with Merit and Jeannie

I love the people you meet at shoots

 

[Zulu]

What's the story with the dog!

 

[John in NZ]

Nice shooting on the deer, we have a steel goat at our club but you just about have to break arms before they'll put it out to be shot at ,,bunch of chickens.
I better not let my dogs see the pic' of your new mate an his mini hound though.
Mine are to fat for that carry on,,,LOL.

jOHN.
