Greg, I just need a long straw (one that touches down to the bottom  )...I will swish it around so I can fully appreciate the aromas and the flavors etc. I promise.

Marie, hope that bottle doesn't have any sediment in it. :) You have such fine taste in wine, that I'm sure it won't. ;D Marie, you'll have to post a picture of Sarah wearing her tiara so we can match the wine glass. :)

Mamba, I think I need to wear a rubber band on my wrist and pop it every time I flinch...I'm sure that would help! ;D

I can't concentrate for much shooting targets, and that leads poor shooting and subsequently bad form, or vice versa ;D

I tryed to make my target shooting a bit more challenging/fun and more close to hunting shooting.

this is how I set up my target range,


with a big backstop of sand, or bales or something similar, I get 1/2 dozen tennis balls and string them either hunging from trees or a rope tied to 2 points if there's nothing to attach them from, every tennis ball is at a different hight, this make every shot a new target, use blunts so they fall to the ground and they are not in the way (you can shoot dozens of arrows at a time like this)

when you connect it's really a satifying  sound ;D, and now is the fun part, after you hit a ball you have a moving target, this is great practice, you have to concentrate so much that you have no time to overthink your shot.



I can get hours of fun shooting targets this way, when usually I get bored after 1/2 dozen arrows on a normal target, even 3D

Manny, I do a similar thing with a single magnolia seed pod hanging from a rigid conduit frame. Shooting at that moving target really does help with your concentration and learning the flight of your arrow.    Pat

   If you want to have fun.find a field and blow up a bunch of ballons and tie them.Then throw them out all over at different yardages and let the wind move them around while you shoot.

I had a visitor yesterday evening at my practice session. I've got grape vines in my back yard and had a doe come running across the yard to eat grape leaves. She got within 15 yards of me at one point...had some nice lookin' back straps on her the best I could tell. ;)

I'm knocking on wood while typing this...but I think I might be making some progress with my shooting. :) Don't really know what is helping, most likely just a lot of practicing. Although I'm still flinching some at full draw, I can tell that it's not as often or violent here lately.

I'm hopeful... ;)

No, but I'm sure she could advise me on shooting as well as field dressing a deer!
