Great time, very nice people, and I was humbled by there shooting abilities. Ken and his Mom are great people and really made this city boy feel right at home ( man, can Mom cook ).

We had a lot of broken arrows and one Robinhood that I know of, I don't think we lost any arrows !, I know I didn't, which is amazing.

Again, great time, look forward to the next time I see all of you.

Thanks again

Just killing me with all the pics!!! Missed you guys so much. Hopefully taxidermy school is worth it. Glad everyone had a great time & that Ed was able to get there to shoot. I'm sure he shot at least one pink plunger for me!    :bigsmyl:

Love the pic of all the arrows in that one shot, like early spring flowers blooming

Somewhere in the center of that cluster is a little 1" plastic bottle cap.

Another amazing shot that doesn't show is the one tall stump with arrows stuck in it.  There was a 1/2" orange marker ribbon that the third arrow severed!  (Ken picked it off the ground and re-hung it for us mortals to try for).  I'm thinking it was Tony's arrow but it might have been Izzy.  One of those "pretty shots" that stick in your mind.

Well Charlie, I thank you for putting me in the same group as Izzy and Tony, but I'm no where near as good as they are. I was indeed the third shoot that severed it, but I'm sure I was aiming for a different target when I did.    :knothead:    

I cant wait to do this again. Please keep posting pics guys. I love reliving it through your cameras.     :thumbsup:

Well, we not only killed a lot of stumps up here.  There is one dead Budweiser can that was full and sprayed all over a few arrows.  One radiator shroud that won't be used again.  A big tire, dead.  A water bottle.  And a couple balloons that had the wind knocked out of them.  My pics came out a little blurry.  I dropped my camera in the snow and I must not have cleaned and dried the lens enough.  They look pretty good on my computer, though.  Guys, I am still smiling because of the good time we had.

What a day it was, what a great bunch of archers and hunters, so much camaraderie, things to learn and exchange, I had a blast!

Too bad day to day life grab me right arriving in Montreal, but I'm so happy for the friendship and the great time!

Again Kat, Ken THANK YOU
    :wavey:      
What a bunch of shooters too! Ken, Drew, all of them!!!
