[Archers] Open challenge for H-o-r-s-e

[Gordon Kinnie]

I am not sure if I entered these correctly on the score page.

 

But for all to see, the brave (but foolish) Jonathas accepted my challenge
of form and accuracy.

 

Shot as follows at 20 yards using three arrows:

H- 1 arrow into 6 inch circle 

O- 2 arrows into 6 inch circle

R- 1 arrow into a 3 inch circle

S- 2 arrows into a 3 inch circle

E- 1 arrow into a 1.5 inch circle

 

 

My score for this shoot.  H - 2, O - 3, R - 5, S - 4, E - 2: a total of 16
arrows to complete the shoot.

I need no mercy for you shoot a funny off center bow that can't possibly
shoot straight!

I offer no mercy, you will fail.

My bow is strong, my arrows are straight and my aim is true.

 

Let us begin.

I'll probably regret it, and get my ass whooped, but I'll answer your
challenge!  Lets see, which side of the longbow did the arrow go one??? 


One question, what is the max score for the -E-.  The rest of the ends max
out at 10, but -E- was intended to be a "double" for the speed round so
actually allows for a max of 20.  SO, 10 or 20 arrow max for -E-?  Why,
cause other then the pure luck shot, I'm betting that is what my score will
be for a 1.5" circle!
