Just wondering...??
« on: June 18, 2016, 12:46:00 PM »
Tomorrow, is Father's Day!!!
Years ago, my boys Kevin & Tyler and I, attended almost every local 3-D shoot together... Well, time marches on, the boys are grown, and with busy work, school, etc schedules, we just don't seem to be able to get together as much as we'd like to...
For a Father's Day "gift" my boys decided to take me to a 3-D Shoot!!! Neither of us has picked up a bow, since last Fall, do to our busy schedules..

This morning, I got up early, made coffee, and took my Kodiak T/D out back for a little practice... Much to my suprize & satisfaction, I managed to put every single arrow, into our 3-D Derr target!!! Now, every arrow was not necessarily in the "kill-zone" LOL... But I was VERY pleased with my shooting!!! I think I'm ready for tomorrow...
 But, I was just wondering...?? Is this "cheating"...?????
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Nope, not cheating!
Sounds like a great way to re-connect, both with the bows, and with the boys!

You can't let them out shoot you .
Hope you have a good time .

It's only cheating if "YOU" think it's cheating....go have fun on Fathers Day.....   :archer:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Apparently it was not cheating... Both boys beat me!!! (but not by much!) it was more "like leveling the playing field" lmao!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

Great way to spend the day Chuck!

Its a  good thing you let them win, this way they will want to come back when you wager a rematch.

Relax,

You'll live longer!
