Finally healthy enough to get out with my metal monster bow. Dang dry out that was for sure. I had hoped to set up my game cam over a water hole but it and a spring at another site were dry. So I took on targets of opportunity.
Here are a couple of pictures of the area.

Very cool! I love that country... lots of open spaces!
Thanks for sharing!
Nice pictures
is that out by Cabazon ,must be tough arrows shootin those old juniper stumps
Yeah out by Cabazon and very dry. Looks like they missed all the moisture this year. Going to be tough on livestock and game. The stumps are tough so I shoot at cow turds most of the time LOL
thanks for sharing beautiful country
Wow, what shafting do you use for shooting into those rocks and gravel. Are those plastic vanes? I'll have to take a closer look at your arrow rest in your bench topic.
You mean to say that you actually try to hit rocks? I don't try but find them anyway. :banghead:
highlow theres lots of hard dry clay that looks like rock but there are plenty of rocks to watch out for. I thought the cowboy camp was made of adobe to I took a 70 yard shot at it for giggles and grins. Found out those rock walls don't like arrows :knothead:
Monterey I'm using a nap flipper rest that screws into the side of the bow and yes the arrows have vanes.
Wide open spaces........pretty cool.
Nice!
Ben, I'm surprised ya hit it... :)
Looks like a great walk!
Looks like you had a great time Galen, glad you are up and about and thanks for sharing the pictures! God Bless!
Denny
Wish I hadn't Roy now I have a takedown arrow :archer: :dunno:
I'd have shot it from the side, in one window and out the other... LOL
Easy to do with a five Yard shot with a 15# bow. :laughing:
Ya know sompen boy, I just might have to make me a road trip out there and thump ya ah good one.. LOL
Monterey I wouldn't worry none about that whoopin Roys only got one good hand now and at his age its slower than molasses in a PA winter. :laughing:
Nice pics Galen. Glad you are well enough to get out and enjoy!
Roy don't skeer me. If he does come out here, the real reason would be the Coors brewery. :biglaugh:
:thumbsup: :laughing:
Guess I'll just swing on down to New Mexico after I'm done in Colorado... :)
Be glad to have you, I'd even buy some coors
Great to see you out and about...I'd be skert of that sorta country...I learned living those years in MT, country got its ways and ya don't cheat em none if you don't know their ways, it'll git ya!
Dry like that would make me carry pebbles in my mouth! :(
Good looking pictures looks like a nice day hopefully the wind wasn't awful. I think I know what influenced you to build that bow. Have you ever been to the UFO Museum in Roswell? Then taken advantage of some the alien technology. Just kidding, well a little.
I wished I'd taken more water as the air was so dry I felt like I had a mouth full of sand
Jess I seriously thought of painting it green LOL. I did have some interesting cross wind to deal with.
Nice pictures...and it sure does look dry.
Whenever I come across something of old, like that stove, I try to think back to what the first owner might have thought about his/her new treasure! How it was used, the hard work that happened, or whatever. I bet many a cowboy was glad to get a fire going and warm up by that after a cold day on the range!
