Flip flops, Longbows and a little girl
« on: July 01, 2013, 03:51:00 PM »
Well its been a while since I have been on the TG,I've been playing catch up with life.  

   I have to give a big shout out to my little girl Kylie for getting her daddy dusted off and out in the yard with her to shoot.

  I had not shot in a long time and she noticed that I was becoming a bit stagnate with the daily grime of all work and no play.
 
  So my little chicken(nickname since birth)comes over an said "dad I want to shoot", well looken at her face and her smile I knew what she was doing. So we slipped on the flip flops and dusted off the longbows and went to the yard and flung about six dozen arrows.

  I had the best time watching her shoot and her and I playing hunting games together. It was just what I needed to get refreshed and pick up the spirit.

  Just cause its summer you dont have to hang up the winter toys.      :archer2:      

Thanks Tim

Way to go! Life can get you down, i’d say you and your little girl are good candidates for a Frog hunting adventure! A good way to get some summer use out of the bow and arrows.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.
