Default RE: Anyone ever try this?

Several Years ago we started to get bored shooting dots all the time. We didn't throw clays. Didn't have the room or $$for arrows with a compound, but we did get a little creative and drew a tic tac toe board on a piece of cardboard, mde up of 4" squares and then each person would shot 1 arrow, alternating turns and play against each other. We also made a modified version of a dart board and played 301 and cricket. Then we began hanging thinkg of a frame in front of a backstop from fishing line. Things like plastic cups of different sizes. Then we gave each cup a score value based on its size, 16oz was 1 pt and the little 3 oz was 5 and then race to 10 points, alternating shots. first one to 10 wins. It made things a lot more interesting and force you to really pick a spot. As fall approached we would each bring our 3-D's to each others places and then one person would get up in a stand while the guys on the ground got to set the targets all over the place, providing some challenging shots. THe one thing to remember here, based on where you set a target for someone else, they get to place it when it is your turn. I ended up a what we called a $5 shot. If you missed, there was a large rock or someothere major obstruction that would most likely damage your arrow ( Hence the $5 ) but it made for a very realistic pressure shot. Just some more thoughts to keep it interesting.
