[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3840419, member: 15054"] My friend and i would play a timed game with our bows. I had a big block of styrofoam the arrows would not pass through and a caltalpa leaf stuck into a hole in the front of it. One person would have their back turned and the other would move the foam somewhere in the yard. Then say Ready. The shooter now turns around and spots the foam block and has 10 seconds to find it and shoot it. We found 10 seconds is an eternity and most of our shots would come quick. We got to allowing only 5 seconds to shoot the leaf. This got us really good at hitting targets at many different distances. I killed a lot of tree rats, cats, skunks, armadillos and I even got a dove one time that was on the ground I was shooting off my porch. Many times we would get on the house and shoot the target. Other times we would stand beside/behind a tree like we were hiding and shoot the target. Kneeling and shooting and holding the bow at different angles. I still have that bow and I bought it when i was 12 or 13 used from my neighbor for $7.50 Ben Pearson fiberglass Target Master 40 lb draw. [/QUOTE]
