hope yours was a blessin'...

Friday was 35 and drizzlin'... not the best day fer outdoor activities...

the bows they had were fiberglass (personal bows weren't allowed) with weak strings... arrows were way heavy fer the bows... when theboy brought one to full draw, it didn't even reach the target 15 yds away... by the third arrow he was on the bale, and the 4th and 5th were on target... problem is, they only had five shots fer the competition... if'n he'd had his osage stickbow, he'duh smoked 'em all...

pinewood derby wuz a little disappointin' fer the kids... they had tuh hand over their cars, and didn't get tuh touch'em again till the competition was done....

wuzn't a bad day, but I don't think it lived up to any of the boys expectations...

Hmmm. 'no personal bows' another rulz? That blows. Well, walking the arrows up to the target is acceptable. Be looking forward to seeing thegirl and theboy fling some wood at ShootMoot.
