I'm gutted I won't be there this year. I need to rebuild the porch on my house, and this weekend is the only one I was able to get some help on it. Please have fun & be safe. I've been out of the game for a while, but I feel the itch again.

What the? A porch is stopping you J-Syn? Henry will be graduated by the time we see him again.

The porch is rotting off the house, and will take some of the roof with it if it goes. This does mean that I NEED to make it to Elm Hall this year...

Is there any rule on arrow material for the jug shoot? If not, might be a good use for some of my aluminums that have missing fletchings and whatnot. I only have a handful of junky wood arrows -- but a bunch of aluminums.

Someone explain the jug shoot to me.  Why would we want to use junk arrows?

Aaron, 2 plastic gallon water/milk jugs filled with water.
Each jug attached to opposite ends of length of rope. Rope (and jugs) suspended over wood framework and rope passes through some pulleys.
Idea is to punch holes through "your" jug and drain water outta "your" jug . . . before your opponent does same to "his" jug.
Jug that sinks to ground 1st loses.

I know, clear as mud.   :o

Shooting in and out of the plastic jug could tear them up, they could stick in the jug weird and get shot by your other arrows, hit the ground and bend/break when/if your jug hits the ground, etc.

Obviously nice, well tuned arrows will give you the best accuracy, but it's at a fairly close range if I remember correctly. There are just a lot of factors that could mess up a set of nice arrows.

Maybe "junk" isn't what you want to use, but you probably don't want to use your best arrows either.

How far would you estimate that shot is?
