Practically Shooting

Archery

Our youngest daughter got bit by the archery big when she saw "Brave" almost three years ago. Happily, and somewhat surprisingly, it stuck. She shot in the 4-H Shooting Sports program last year (and got coaching she would actually listen to) and did ok. She now wears shirts with sayings like "I Don't Wear Bows, I Shoot Them".

I am proud. My wife is tired of tripping over archery stuff.

The side effect of this is my being drawn back into archery. Until this, the last bow I bought was for my birthday in 1978.

I've gotten lucky at a few garage sales and managed to pick up some bows; mostly recurves I lusted after decades ago. Only one cost more than $25.

Today, out of winter boredom, I dragged our bows out for a lineup picture.

L to R:

Kid bows first- Two Bear kiddie bows she stated on, a Goblin and a Scout. Then her Matthews Genesis, which she used the latter part of 4-H last year. Then her birthday and Christmas bows: a Greattree Firefox takedown recurve, and a Sky Archery Hurricane longbow.

Mine- Bear Kodiak Magnum, Bear Tigercat, Ben Pearson Cougar, Ben Pearson Javelina, and off to the right, a Bear Realtree Monster Bucks compound. I like shooting the $10 Javelina best.
