Well Hopesman was over today and we did a little shooting, tech the bows, did some fletching on his arrows and all around had a good time.
I have started practicing from the 3 legged stool I use in the open fields when i set up on the edge and have found this a good thing to do as it changes the way you feel in your draw and the way you shoot. sometimes it can even feel real uncomfortable.
Well we moved up on the deck about 7 feet of the ground and moved Bambi to about 15 yards from that point which is about the range we have from our stands that Eastern and I have set up.
This is were we shot from today.
Well I seemed to be on today as I put this group together.
A first for me.
We laughed about that as usually I put the last shot off to the side as I get stressed out trying to put that last shot in the same area. I thought just for a laugh I would try again.
The arrow that seems to be at an angle was that way because it actually hit the nock on the arrow it is leaning on. Wow it seems to be really coming together. I guess the break was needed to just settle everything down for me.

Well I didn't do much of the outdoor stuff this weekend, but I did get away for a ATV drive this evening. Not alot of animals seen. Did see 2 does and 2 lambs. No moose, but several 'Moose Hunt 2007' signs. I was in some new country and even ended up over to the Hanwell Road. I don't know the Hanwell very well at all, but it was very strange as right where I came out was where a young fellow died yesterday in a single vehicle accident. Someone had erected a small cross and a memorium. It was right beside a church and a graveyard. I can't remember the area as I hit the road coming from a different direction. Maybe you are familiar with the spot, Still. Anway, most of the animals that I saw didn't hang around for me to take their picture, but I did get a photo of a doe. She didn't seem to think that I could see her, and i just drove off after taking photo and she just stayed there.
Hope you all had a good weekend.

I think I know where you mean. the church is realy close to the road at that spot as well. I would say it is just over half way through to the end of the hanwell.

Buckle down guys cause it is a heat wave here and if it heads your way you are not going to want to go out side. I was planing to do some work to the truck oil change etc, but there be no way I'm going out in he!! to do that. if it is cool in the morning I will try it, if not then next weekend will be the date.

We will be heading to Poughkipsee area. Not sure if that is spelled right or not but there it is.
Well what a day today. Every year in September we have a field day they call it, for the kids up to age 17 that have passed the Firearms course and the Hunter safety course. We had trap shooting, skeet shooting, archery demonstration, fur bearers talk, 22 rifle shooting, black powder shooting, tree stand safety, short lesson on tracking, lazer shot program, and a first aid demonstration. Well we got a great day to do it on as it was in 90 deg F here today but everyone still had a great day.
Here are a few pics of my daughter doing some of the shooting.
In one of the photos you can actualy see the wad from the shotgun and her miss the skeet.
Oh and wish me luck as I will be doing my first teaching sesion at the firearms course that is going on and next sunday I will be helping with the bow hunters course.
