I try to shoot 25 arrows every day to keep my archery muscles in shape. Some days I shoot more. Yes it is an addiction!

That's when a clear lane (or almost so) in the basement is a good thing.  Three times a day I "just have to" fling a few.

Many times.  Very often.  And especially right now as I sit here with an ice pack covering my freshy surgerized lower back.  No shooting/lifting/fishing/climbing/running/hiking/driving for me for a while.    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:

I guess I have it pretty good...  I can shoot atwork.. just call it archery training for the students and then when I get home I have the horse barn to shoot in.

I like to shoot every day...

It hits me all the time, but now I have a broke finger so it will be a week or two before I can shoot.  :(    :(

Hey Eric, (flintznstyx)

I like the 15 yard shot, but if your wide left, is that a boom box on the shelf? 20 yards takes it out of play but sure plays heck on the staircase.....  :biglaugh:

Fellas that have been married a long time will understand this... I woke up in the middle of the night some time ago and walked out of the bedroom. Just then my wife asked, "Where are you going?" I told her I was going outside to shoot my bow in the dark. To my surprise she said, "OK, I understand."

So happy me is out there having a blast.  :archer2:  But when I tried to get back into the house I found the doors locked from the inside with a note that read...

"Archery is cool, archery is nice...
Next time you do this, better think twice!"

Signed: Your wife inside with her motor running.  :p
