Just started something BIG!.Pics added

[2hats]

I just wanted to share this with you all.My church body has several bible studies called Home Groups that meet weekly to grow as a family in Christ.Our HG is always doing great things espicially mens day out.Everyone knows how much I love Trad.Archery and hunting,so I was asked to put together a shoot at my house,which is the home to the Cool Springs Range @ 20 3d's.
   I hosted the shoot to those who never shot a Trad bow.I had various bows in longbows and recuves,some mine some borrowed form the Gang.I spent hours picking out arrows that would closely match the bows I had to shoot.I made some extra armguards out of GM seat covers I had made out of leather and the arrows commenced to flying.It was so much fun to see grown men light up when they were able to hit their mark.
  I then took them to the 3D range and I thought I had a group of teenage boys with weapons terroizing the foam animals.I had never thought That would have made such an impact on these grown men.I had created in just a few hours new fellowship and for them a deeper love for the sport I love so much.Thought I would share this.

My hat is off to you 2hats. Sorry had to say that. That took a lot of energy and it was good to get some newcomers involved. I'd be interested to know if any of the men were gun hunters and have never shot a bow.

I enjoy the sport a bunch and doing this really motivated me to shoot more not to mention my new to me Treadway Black Swamp.One of these guys had bowhunted before with a compound years ago before his 4 daughters were born.He is quite busy nowadays.I believe what got it started was taking tenderloin to HG outings.    
  Now my Pastor is looking to get a longbow,he really got the shootin bug.I thought I would be on the black list with the wives,but they all seemed thrilled.I don't think they will hunt but sure will enjoy slinging arrows though..I'll be looking for some cheap bows soon.LOL

Good on you Danny!!  Glad I could help with the one loaner bow, wish I had more!! Hopefully this will grow in to something big.

2hats,
What a gift, both to those guys and to the sport.  Out of a group so large you are bound to have more then a couple perminant converts, and they are apt to pass it forward as well.

Good work!!!
