Last time out for a while........New knee is done
« on: December 01, 2016, 01:41:00 PM »
Weather was balmy so I gave KAT a shout to see if his new hip was good to go stumping. I'm getting my other knee renewed on Monday so off we went. We went to the scene of stumpfest, Rockwood State Forest, and spent 2 hours selecting targets and doing our best to hit them. I will say that most of the time our arrows could be pulled or picked up at the same time.......which means I shot real good for me. I was shooting my new Holm-Made dual shelf......we get along well. Ken's getting around great and it was a great morning. I'll be down for a bit after my new knee but I hope not to long.    :)

Hoping you have a quick recovery Ron. Getting old is not for sissys, got a bad hip myself. I'd like to get it replaced but the VA wants to wait til I'm older, and don't need it as much. Go figure.

Speedy recovery to you both and don't know if new parts are traditional but my new hips made this hunting season much more enjoyable.
