Had a fantastic weekend and recruited a new shooter
« on: February 17, 2008, 08:14:00 PM »
Well I went over to visit my twin brother this weekend. He has shown a little interest in trad shooting so I took over a nice little package for him. I had an extra recurve, armguard, quiver and some arrows and made a trade with him.

We had a fantastic weekend shooting and he picked it up almost instantly He only put one hole in the house and two in the fence. But by the end he could almost keep a 12" group at about 12 yards consistantly. Here's some pics. It was a perfect day outside and a beautiful day to shoot!


I'm on the right

Ok but he's got-a sleep in your tent. Maybe you should buy a biger one this year.

Oddly enough we were told we're identical and we did look identical until we were about 10 or 11. Then we started to look less alike.

   :biglaugh:   If everything goes right hopefully I'll have a pyramid tent like Tony had for this year. Him and I couldn't fit in just my tent. We're close but not that close.

Kenny, he lives in williamsport, pa but if he's comes over here we'll make a trip over to do some shooting

From the looks of your brother's smile...I'd say he is HOOKED! Way to go, T.J.
