36 yard birthday surprise
« on: April 13, 2007, 08:20:00 PM »
I have an abundance of ground squirrels around this business.  They dig up around lights and control devices.  We allow no guns, but I am allowed to shoot the bow. Today, my 59th birthday, I ended one's predation on my office.  He played me three times with near misses, and finally, he took one in the head at 36 yards.  My shot was witnessed by two people who were amazed.  Amazed at the longbow shot or an ancient guy's ability to cast a shaft?   Don't know, don't care-started my 60 year on earth in a right way.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.
