hey folks.. how goes it.. i'm glad to be back home..

we got in around 5 pm. from the shoot... we had an awesome time.. the ranch the shoot is held on, is gorgeous... it's not too far from the coast, so the fog rolls in pretty hard in the mornings.. i can't wait until next year... we were all filthy,tired and hungry when we got home... i have a ton of stuff to put away still, that'll have to wait until tomorrow...

here's some pics in the meantime.. there are soo many good archers at these shoots, i am always impressed... i shot really well.. so well that i surprised myself.. for the most part, my competition are the guys that i shoot with... primarily BOOMSTICK... and i prevailed..........................

this time, my wife and little dude went.. it was their first time attending one of these big shoots.. they both did great... my wife is a natural and Cypress, who is 5, hiked around and shot all 3 courses no problem... they're both hooked now...

the fam.. including my father in law Al, who is a bad a$$ archer himself..

this was a par 2 shot, similar to archery golf, where you had to fire 2 arrows at a really far target and try and lay up to it... if you went past it, your arrows are nil and don't count...

More great pics bro. Its nice to see you guys havin a ball together like that. Must be pretty kewl to share a passion with the whole family......
 
Looks awesome Mike. I used to shoot, compound mostly. I have had a lot of fun times shooting with buddies back in the day before kids. My boys have never expressed interest...more into paintballing and football. Maybe I should dust off the bow...
 
Welcome back. Congrats to your and your son for placing! Looks like such a good time, I really have to try it sometimes, but I can't get hooked yet because I already have too many hobbies.

Good stuff mike. Thanks for sharing. That Benchmade looks worn in.

that benchmade mini-griptillian has been my EDC knife for the past 5-6 years or so.. that little knife has been around the block and back.. i love it..:D

J-- i got the Tyson knife the day before we left... man, that thing is sweet... i really like it.. it seems to be nealry the perfect woods knife... i did take it along, but didn't get any pics of it, for some reason....:o i'll get some up soon.. i got a few other new knives this weekend as well.. just wait..:D

this shot was really cool... it was powered by a generator, and it spun around and each time you went around you shot at one of the targets...
