what do you all think is the hardest target in field? i am brand new and have been practicing on the targets to get and idea of accuracy required. is it just me or is a 20 on the 50 yard target pretty tough? i haven't made it out past 50 yet due to limited space behind my shop.

At my club's range the sun is just over the safety barrier behind target but number 2 at this time of the year. It only happens this time of the year with no leaves on the trees to block out the sun. I can't shoot between 9:30 am and 12 noon. I think the 80 yard butt is the same. I joined in November and have not set my marks as of yet. I hope to walk the entire course this weekend just to see whats out there.

I hear ya.....Belvoir has a pain in the but 30. It is up there for sure....you need to cut it "some"...but you usually can't get on the dot so you can usually shoot it straight up :doh:

I gotta agree with the 30.. (and the 32 for Prag.. lol) but.. any of em can give me a fit on a particular course. Sometimes for me it's the target and the approach to it, more so than the actual distance and target face being shot. That's the beauty of field archery..

I proved it again yesterday. I need to spend a whole session on the 58 yd wu, and the 53yd wu.
those 2 targets along with the 48yd target cost me 6 points in a half.
6 points in 3 targets is a reason to cryyyyyyyyyyyyy!

When it comes to range design I agree, anyone that would put a Birdy Target 8-10 feet above your head :mg: !!!!
But back to the thread, I agree the 32, 50, 30 are the hardest.

Inevitably the hardest target is always the one that I take for granted. It's the one that forget to move my sight, flinch, etc. It's hard to concentrate when you're away from work/school, enjoying good weather, walking through the forest with your friends, and doing something that is truly enjoyable.

Yep the 50 is the smallest dot for the distance, usually its the one I take for granted is the one that gets me and it sure wouldn't be that birdie in the photo WOW

Another vote for this one. The 53 WU is a close 2nd.

I've scored better at 65 than at 40 more times than I can count. ... and I've let too many 20s get into my head too.
The one target I usuall expect to get two or three 4s on is the 80 walk up.

I think I have at least one more pic of it some place on the computer...but I may get a new pic of it tomorrow :wink:
It isn't that bad after you learn how to shoot it....but it is far from your normal 30 that's for sure....I can count on one hand the # of times I have 20ed that thing...although I may have jumped to a 2nd hand after last year
....and I know I have shot it at least 100 times.... Well maybe not 100 but good lord is the # up there :chortle:Heck the next target is a bunny....then another crazy uphill shot....but that one is the 55 I think. There were bees all over the place on it last year so I didn't shoot it but once or twice...but I still haven't figured out the cut on that one :doh: :chortle:
