Ok, how about this, 5 styrofoam ballsranging from 5” down to ping pong ball size, smaller the ball, higher thescore, bonus points added for changing ranges…
 
Say at 15 yards, 5” = 1, 4” =2 , 3” = 3, 2” = 4, ping pong =5pts.
 
Say at 20 yards, 10” = 1, 4” =12 , 3” = 13, 2” =14, ping pong =15pts.
 
Say at 25 yards, 15” = 1, 4” =16 , 3” = 17, 2” =18, ping pong =20pts.
 
Any challengers?

Yo all!

With the current Seasonal Challenge kindly provided by the archer's of Needwoodwrapping up today (hey you can still get that one more score in!), Lorelei hasblessed what I hope is a fun little shoot for the next one.  So what isthe next shoot you ask?  Well honestly I have no idea, because *you*haven't come up with it yet!

Channeling some old school yard games, I came up with this one.... H-O-R-S-E.Yep the old basketball game, you know... "one bounce off your dad's car,off the backboard, nothing but net, standing on one foot leaning against thattree over there".  But how can that possibly be done as an archeryshoot?  Yet another good question, cause you are going to have to figureit out.  For this shoot just the framework has been laid out, you have tomakeup your own target!  (Ok there is a default for those who don't wantto channel their youthful imaginations) 

So everyone has a day to dream up wacky targets to shoot, then start challenginganyone near or far!  And far can be REALLY far as this Seasonal Challengeis open to the Knowne World (challenge anyone in any kingdom that uses the samescores site).

As winter is still with us and some of the northern groups are only holdingindoor practices the challenges can be customized to allow for shorter ranges,but as the warmer weather breaks feel free to stretch your legs (and bows) andget some longer distances in too!

So what the heck are the rules already?  Well read it for yourself!
http://www.scores-sca.org/public/scores_rules.php?R=2&Shoot=72

Beginners take note!  This shoot is not about the highest score! Onlyabout getting a better score then one other person WHO YOU PICK!  So getout and shoot already (well ya have to wait 'till tomorrow, but then....)

Enjoy,
Jonathas
