Call it Hobby, Family time, Family fun, whatever you call it, it's something that our family can do together. We enjoy shooting bows. It all started last year when Goose decided he wanted a bow for Christmas. Then when the kids stayed with Mom and Dad this summer Dad got the kids a bow. During our Riggs reunion, I was able to shoot my Mom's bow and I really liked it. Goose and I were excited that we found something that all of us could do together. I'm excited for the memories we have already made and the ones we will make...
I think Miles is going to be our "trick" archer. He pulls the string as far back as he can and a lot of times he drops down on a knee. He really likes shooting...
Watching it fly...
Syd Syd's turn, she requires a little more help than the others, but I bet she catches on pretty fast...
Yay! She doesn't care whether it goes 20 feet or 1 foot, she loves it every time...
Ten...our little lefty! She is actually shooting a right handed bow.
She has actually gotten pretty good, I'm thinking we might need to get her a lefty bow, so she can really shoot.
I love her face in this one, plus you get to see the arrow taking off...
A happy arrow collector...
SQUISH!!!
I love when point and shoot pix turn out right. I was holding her and just turned and pointed the camera...so sweet...
She loves being outside, but this was right before her nap, so she was being extra cuddly...
Goose shot the kids last arrow, they like when he shoots them high...
The kids shoot their arrows into the open field, Goose and I shoot into a target.
I have to say, He is a really good shot, which is not easy with a recurve. They don't have sights like that compound bows do. We are thinking that he may go elk hunting with my Dad and brothers next year.
Be afraid...Be VERY AFRAID...
Ok, I know, I'm no Xena warrior princess, but I hit what I'm aiming at and that's what counts.
Yay for Family fun! I know it's a little unusual, but we enjoy it...
