Well what a great time we had again this afternoon. My two boys and I went out to a field of turnips (cattle feed) on my bosses ranch.
We originally went out chasing rabbits with our bows, but the rabbits didn't want to play. So, as Plan "B", we found great entertainment and enjoyment shooting our flu-flu's at the numerous white cabbage moths that were on the crop. Close, further away, moving, sitting on the leaves, we had heaps of shots at these moths.
The laughter and the "oooh that was close" and the "good shot" banter back and forth between father and sons, and between the boys themselves was fantastic. The bright eyes and the wide smiles from my boys will be precious and treasured memories. Best fun stump shooting I've ever had.
Youngest lad (13yo) got two confirmed kills with his longbow, oldest (15) also got two with his recurve, and I managed to smack five with my longbow. My boys most often out-shoot me, but today the old boy managed to show them how.
Such great fun doing this with my boys, special special times.
The boys got home and ran inside to tell Mum how much fun they had and how well they shot. Now they are super keen to have another go at it again tomorrow.
Sounds like a good plan.
