That's right, spring is just about here to melt all this darn snow. Now I can get the old bow and arrows out and teach my 11 year old son how to use them.
As I mentioned in my post I'm not an Expert Archer, But I can Shoot! I pointed out that I'm no hunter and I probably never will be. The only way I will be shooting my food with a bow and arrow is if I ever find myself in a post apocalyptic wasteland and my .22 rifle runs out of bullets, and even then I don't know if I'll be able to shoot those radioactive glowing deer. They'll be just too darn cute to eat :)
On the other hand, there is something cool about target shooting a target of a deer. I guess that's what is behind that Buck Hunter video game. People who would never shoot a bambi in real life will think nothing of blowing away a few hundred deer on a video screen.
As soon as the last of the snow is gone, I will be out there with my Bear Compound Bow to see if I can still hit the targets, and maybe to improve a little. My son won't be able to use that one for a while, he'll have to start out a little smaller I think. And I'll take my uncle's old Bear Bow out there to give it a try too.
I don't know what the rest of the world looks like right now, but we still have a couple feet of the white stuff. Talk about a miserably long winter, is it ever going to end?
