Well the results are in.  Roger Norris and I dukes it out on the Elm Hall Traditional Archery shoot range today and the winner was........not so fast.   The original thread mentioned something about some wagers to benefit St Jude's Children Hospital.  Well, while Ron LaClair, Roger and I were sitting around after the battle (only Roger and I shot), having one of the finest 'shore lunches' known to mankind, we hatched a plan.  Ron has graciously donated one of his signature LaClair Skinner knives, and here's how to win:

1) First, think about who you think the greatest archer between Roger and I are. This will be important, because if you pick the winning archer AND make a minimum $5.00 donation to St. Jude's, you'll get two tokens in the drawing for the knife.  If you make a minimum $5.00 donation to St Jude's and pick the losing archer, you get one token in the drawing.  I'll post a link to St Jude's and specific instructions below(as in you can private message me a screenshot of your receipt but please also post below your pick), but as your first clue, the winners first name begins with 'R'.  Choose wisely and your chances double.  There may be some further clues and fun photos released in the next few days.  Cheers!!👍

Since the winners name begins with "R" I pick Ray as the winner. In making my pick I used the highly scientific method of alphabetical order of the two names.
Waiting for the St. Jude's link to make my donation.

Sent you a donation Ray ... glad to see you boys are having fun generating $$ for the Kids !!

elkken

My donation has been sent, but I'm declaring the shoot off a draw since we haven't seen a score card, and the only clear winners are the kids!!! 


Jason

Great idea! Did I miss the end date?

Ending will be in about two weeks

Raymond Raymond Raymond....my dear friend, my loyal compadre. Possibly the greatest pie maker in the world. All around great cook....he made me a smoked cisco and sharp cheddar omelet once that I dream about 20 years later. But you remain the 387th best archer in the world. My arrows had eyes, they could not be beaten. Ask ray about the buffalo....he made an AMAZING 35 yard kill shot....mine was closer

Vote for me. I am an awesome bowshooter, and really really humble. God Bless America. and longbows. 

Yes Roger I did make a very nice shot on the Buffalo. I was just out of the 10 ring but you did not know it. You said I'm going to hit your nock, thinking it was going to take a Robin Hood shot in the big competition and to beat me you had to split my arrow. You missed my nock and it it happened land in the ten ring.  That's how I saw/heard it.

 

(Elk)Ken G, thank you for the nice donation, you're entered.

You gotta admit I can spin a good yarn and that should be worth a vote or two?? 😉

Jason Taylor, you're in, you just gotta admit the winner. Sorry we missed you at the shoot. First time in 15 years since I made it. When Roger was checking in he said 'I was here last year so I should be in the computer'. The nice man said 'it shows you were here yesterday shooting too-we can just convert you to the weekend rate'.   You almost got away with your warmup round buddy.😂

If it isn't worth cheating for, it isn't worth having


What Ray isn't telling you, is that I did most of my shots behind my back. Those that I couldn't do behind my back, I shot blindfolded. The Michigan DNR is currently inspecting my arrows to see if they are legal to hunt with. They are convinced I have inserted some kind of radar target seeking device.

Well that would explain a lot of things. However you forgot to tell the gang how I deftly deflected an arrow off a sapling and into the kill zone. 😘

By the way, our scoring was 10 for small center kill ring, 8 for rest of kill zone and ZERO for anything else.
