Father's Day Archery Shoot June 20-31, 2009

This weekend we headed out for some camping and for Wayne
to shoot at the Big Horn Father's Day Shoot with his son
Tim and some archery friends. We had a good day on
Saturday and did A and B courses. It was beautiful and sunny
and the courses went in and out of the trees. The only
drawback were all of the ANTS we encountered. Some of
the hill were over almost a foot high!! That did not deter
us any.
Wayne was also joined by his friend Sam, who he hadn't shot with in quite a few years. He
also had Tracy and Dwight in his group of shooters. Tim and Tracy are going to be shooting at
the World's Archery Competion in August down in the States, so they were busy working on
getting their distances calculated.











Dwight joined the gang too....he is a relatively new shooter. This is second year of shooting and
he was having fun just hitting "foam" on the targets...not really looking for any big scores, just
shooting for fun!!


Tim's daughter (our granddaughter) came to the shoot too and she came around with us while
her dad shot. Luckily, she made friends with another girl there and they buddied up to walk
around with us.
















I went along for the walk too and took and pictures and helped carry things. In the afternoon, I
was one of the score keepers, so that made things a little more interesting. On Sunday, I opted
to stay back at the 5th wheel and read my book and pack things up for going home. The main
reason for that was because of the fact that it was raining 'dogs and cats' most of the morning!
All in all we had a great weekend. It was nice to get out of town and spend some time in the
woods!!
