Default RE: Crossbow Hunting Practice Challenge

Just finished my 1000!..actually it ended up being 84- 12 shotrounds, so it was 1008 shots. My 8 misses wereas follows: 4 misses from 30 yds., 3 misses from 25 yds. and 1 from 20 (don't ask me what happened there?). My average for the 1000 shots is 99.2% accuracy rate (for 9" target). Another encouraging thing for me too is that of the 8 misses, only 1 was far enough out of the circle that it would have failed to kill an elk, so in that thousand shots, I actually shot a 99.9% accuracy rate for a kill on elk. Good practice and it really dialed me in for knowing my weapon and where to aim for each yardage...Oh, and 2 days ago while I was practicing, I also got to shoot a vole (at least I thinks that's what it was...mouse sized critter) that was trying to distract me in my practice. I did get a passthrough, so I think my power is good :^).
