RE: Crossbow Hunting Practice Challenge

Well, now I'm at 192 shots with 2 misses. Still counting hits on a 9" circle (not a film lid). I suppose Icould settle for 99% success rate for hunting and just get my 1 miss out of 100 shots out of the way before I shoot at an animal

. Still going to try for 1000 shots with this game (I know, squirrelkilla, I'm slow!) to see how consistent I can be with a lot of shots. BTW, I'm shooting a 150#Horton recurve (I don't think they make it anymore- fiberglass prod) crossbow, 600 gr. bolts (practice for elk), using a rear peep site and front pin. Looks like I'll need to reserve my string about every 250 shots.
