Default Bow Practice Games

Hey guys,

Could use some suggestions here. My buddy and I are shooting every Monday for an hour or two. I'd like some shooting game suggestions that may involve cards or other stuff.

Some back ground. We can shoot back to about 45 yards. We have hay bails set up with a deer and a monster bag. I also have a broad head target but it isn't out there currently.

Tom

I like to play HORSE. Where each shooter calls a shot and the other has to make it or else recieving a letter. We usually get very creative w/ our shots too. It helps w/ hunting situations too as you try to sneak an arrow through limbs or in awakward positions.

That sounds like fun, im gonna try it!

We played for money a couple times, you bet on the shot and if you make it and they dont, you win and if they make it and you dont, they win.

personally i think horse would be more fun

Tic-Tac-Toe is a good one.

Make the game board on a piece of printer paper and stick it to the target.

Make the spaces as big or as small as you like.

We also play for money.

Same as horse, only we play to a set amount of cash.

Dollar a shot.

If you both make it, you both keep your money.

One of you misses, you owe the other player a dollar.

I get a lot of gas money that way.

We shoot at each other's arrows/fletching. Childish? Yes. Fun/Funny? Yes.
