A stump shooting morning

[centaur]

Went  for a hike in the Arizona desert with longbow in hand. Targets of opportunity usually want to stick you or have rocks all around them, so I used some carbons for most of the shooting.
This old palo verde stump was safe for woodies, or so I thought until I broke off the point when I shot it.


 

So I started shooting carbons at cholla skeletons, which worked a little better; didn't break any.
 

The desert has received some moisture this winter, so some of the washes have some standing water. A few javelina and deer tracks around this one;

 

A nice morning spent in the solitude of the desert, just me and the bow. I can get into this snowbirding thing.

I agree with you Harmless. I'm 80mi. south of you just across the Ohio Mich. line 1mi east of 127. Setting in 10in of snow. Desert sure looks good.
