Moonlight Mayhem

Earl Pleyte of Janesville Bowmen, Inc. had an idea. His idea… to shoot archery under blacklight conditions! Oh yes, just like moonlight bowling that I’m sure many of you have done before. Let me tell you… It was a BLAST!

This wasn’t just a regular indoor 300 shoot either. They threw in a twist to make it even more interesting. The X-ring was scored a 6 and on the outer edge of the 4-ring was a blaze orange sticker the size of a quarter that was scored as an 8. The 8-ring could only be scored once per round. Shooting 12 rounds the perfect score was 384. Earl offered the first person to shoot a perfect score a $100 bill! There was also

a $5 entry fee in a 50/50 side money pot. Don Ward of Stoughton was the winner of the 50/50 pot. Earl got to keep his $100, as nobody was able to shoot a perfect score.

Choosing a strategy got a little tricky. You had a choice of shooting a single spot or a 5 spot target. Missing the 8-ring on a single spot could result in a 4 or a 3. Missing that 8-ring on a 5 spot could result in you shooting a 4 or that dreaded 0. What are you going to do at the next Moonlight Mayhem?
