RE: Do you play any games while you practise?
We usually get cut-throat pretty quickly.......chasing nocks.
Usually starts innocent enough with 2 guys accidentally shooting for the same spot, when one will WHACKO!! the other guy' s nock. Then it' s GAME ON!! [

Nobody is safe, and the good arrows get put away in a hurry.
That can get pretty expensive and fast tho, especially with the shooters in my group of friends.[:-]

We always get in a good game of " whitetail" ! Played the same as you play " horse" in basketball. The second shooters arrow has to be within four fingers of the first shooters arrow or he gets a letter. I' ve taken my furthest shots playing this game.

Same as BOWFANATIC except we play " BUCK" cause whitetail would take way too long.....some real shooters here...
no one misses... and if time allows, perhaps a second game of " PIG" .

RE: Do you play any games while you practise?
We used to do several things. Like dangling a business card on a string in front of the target and letting the wind blow it. (That gets pretty challenging when it lays against a arrow that missed and all you can see is the edge of the card). We also used to hang eggs the same way, only at 40 yards.

RE: Do you play any games while you practise?
My brother inlaw and I give values for each shot. Ex. 20 yards bullseye is 1 point, where a 35 yard bullseye is 3 points. Each take a turn shootng where ever you choose. After 4 or 5 rounds you total the points. I like the sounds of the whitetail game, never played it but tomorrow I' m gonna try it. I always find things to shoot. Apples, pears, coffee cans, snuf cans, and yesterday I was shooting broadheads into a pumpkin. Anything I can do to keep it interesting.
