Nice day for a stump shoot**round # 4**
« on: December 03, 2015, 02:03:00 PM »
Got together this morning with KAT and Vintage45 from here on the site to do a stump shoot. Just 3 old guys taking a walk and shooting stumps, cans, and anything that looked like a challenging shot. They went easy on me and my new knee and it was a great time. I took my Hill Wesley Special, boy I like that bow. I didn't shoot all that well today but watching Ken and Marty trying to best each other is a real hoot. I was good to get out and after 3 hours......in need a nap.....lol!

Hope your season's all you hoped for.     :archer:

Here is a picture of Ron and Marty from last year.
Lets just say we are still out there having fun, even though we are a year older.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

I'm kinda lookin' forward to deer season ending so I can get out after some stumps (before the snow gets too deep)!
