Here's the deal... One task per day for the next 7 days. No fancy targets. No judge but yourself. Just you, your bow, and the process. HOW TO POST EACH DAY: When you complete your daily task, post in the comments below and start your post with your day number so everyone, including me knows where you're at. Example: "Day 2: 3 arrows at the 3D target. Two hits, one miss. Felt good on the follow-through." Include a photo or video of the task. Hits and misses welcome. This is about accountability, not perfection. (Veteran move is to use your audio to text button!) If you miss a day, jump back in on the current day. Don't wait. Don't restart. Just pick up where the group is. 🔥THE 7-DAY INSTINCTIVE SHOT CHALLENGE: Day 1: The Warm Up Shot Shooting for groups of 3 for a total of 12 arrows only at a blank bale. No target face. Focus only on your anchor point and follow-through. Do not pace off distance. Do not worry about where your arrows hit or your groups. Post: A photo of your setup (bow, bale, you at it). Day 2: Accountability Shot 3D or field target, unknown distance. No pacing. Shoot instinctive - do not aim. Post: Your result - hits and misses welcome. Shoot only 3 arrows, pull each one before the next. No groups. Day 3: The Hunting Shot Shoot from your knees. Five arrows. Don't worry about distance, range, or groups. Post: What did you feel hitting your anchor? Focus on consistency. Day 4: The Low Light Shot Last 20 minutes before dark. Five arrows. Close your eyes for 30 seconds before each shot. Shoot as far as you're comfortable - no range finding, no assistance. Change your shooting position every arrow. Post: What you saw - or couldn't see. Day 5: The Full Kit Shot Shoot in your hunting gear. Jacket, boots, whatever you'd wear in the field. Three arrows. Shoot from any position. Post: What did you notice different? (Draw length? Clearance? Range of motion?) Day 6: The One Shot, One Arrow One arrow Shot One arrow at a spot you've never shot from before. New angle. New distance. Commit. Shoot only one arrow. Keep your bow up for at least 30 seconds after the shot. Focus on follow-through.

First stop Mendenhall Glacier. We saw three bear but did not get pics.

Would love to learn some basics and tips.

We are two weeks away from closing on our NH house. Just about everything is packed up. Been out straight the last two months. Got up this morning to a steady rain. Sat on the couch for some R&R. Started watching(I should say still watching) some board bow building on YouTube. After a few hours, I headed to Home Depot and picked up a pc of oak and a pc of maple. Went out to the garage and glued up a maple 62” blank with oak glued on for the riser. Then a 30” blank for Little Bear and a 36” for Little Bear that is oak with maple glued on the riser. Felt good to do something productive. LOL

The home we are purchasing in TN has carpet we will be removing. To keep from having to pay to have it put in the dump, I was thinking of repurposing it as archery targets. I’m thinking of cutting it into squares and stacking and binding with a ratchet trap to make block style targets. What are everyone’s thoughts.
