Hey gang,
I'd like ya'all to meet Raven Angel.
As archers we often wish the love of our lives would take up the bow and shoot with us. Some of us are lucky enough to have that happen. I am very happy to say it has happened to me! We went to our first trad shoot together (not my first though) this last weekend and had a lot of fun! I also want to give a shout out to say thanks to Rich who we met and was a most excellent coach!
I know it won't be long before she is out scoring me at these things. :knothead:

I really want to give her a big round of applause. :clapper:

Way to Go!!!
She has great form too!!
We are some of the lucky ones!!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Congratulations. My wife has a bad shoulder despite surgery, but I'm still hoping.
Good for you Derek! I really like her arrows!
Wow!! that is terrific! Sounds like ya'll will have lots of fun! I like her arrows also, who built them?
Welcome aboard Raven Angel! This is good stuff and a great bunch of folks to get to know. Loads of knowledge is here and freely exchanged. Enjoy the ride :thumbsup: :campfire:

How kind you all are! Much thanks!
My arrows??? Well.. I am a very, very pampered archeress. My beloved Derek made them for me of course. He hand crafted them with love and I'm proud to use them.
Many blessings to all!
That looks like Chamberlin Ranch... What a great shoot it was. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet.
Welcome to the Gang! You do have great form, and I have admired Derek's arrows for years. May you ever enjoy their soaring flight.
Killdeer :wavey:
Welcome Raven Angel and congrats Bard 1! :)
My wife and I have had a lot of fun together with our bows. It is nice to have something to share.
Welcome aboard, Raven Angel!

Welcome to the 'Gang. BTW, what kind of bow is that you're shooting?
I never keep score. That way I don't have to worry about getting beat. I enjoy shooting more when my girlfriend goes too. Congratulations to both of you on finding a shooting partner.
I'm happy for you both Derek.
Hi Derek
That was a great shoot, I think I flung some arrows next to RA at the practice butts.
See you next year
Kurt Bel5
Looks like a Bear Cub.
:bigsmyl:
My bow is an old Bear Panda. :) ..not sure of the year.
That bracer looks good on you, I hope it is working out for you.
Tom
Panda...yeah, that's the one. :bigsmyl:
I have one like that, it is a "Flicker", made for Sears by Bear. Nice little shooters!

Kurt that was a fabulous shoot! We had the best time. On sunday morning Raven Angel said "I don't want to go home." I about fell over when I heard that. I mean I knew she was having fun and all, and that was my dearest hope, but I never thought to here those words!
Tom, the Bracer is an amazing piece of art. I am jelous. I'll let Raven Angel speak for herself on how she likes it. ;-)
Killy, I picked that bow up and some matched arrows for it for $30.00!! I thought it was a steal, and I was right. It's been a perfect bow for R.A. Though she's not wild on the pastel Green color.
D-
That pastel green means classic Bear, mid-sixties, nine years old and playing at the local creek, making spears out of ragweed stalks and having 'wars' with them, barefoot summer days and bicycles to me. It always makes me smile, for some obscure reason!
Killdeer :)
That was a great shoot! I am glad you guys had fun. This was the second year for me and I did so much better in scoring:)

I think my gang of boys when I was growing up would've included you in our shenanigans......even though you is a girl!
*smiling*
I come on here and have so many people to respond to. How fun!
My bracer?? My bracer ROCKS!!! She's a gorgeous thing! Thank you Tom P. My sisters "oooooo"ed and "aaaahhhhh"ed over it when I showed them and wished they were as lucky as mmmeeeeeee :D
As for the puke green on my bow... it has no fond memories in my mind. I'd spray paint her sea blue if it weren't that Derek says that's a big "no no".
Gang of boys??? *wicked grin*
What she means by "I'd spray paint her sea blue.." is I'd make Derek spray paint her sea blue... :p
ppppbbbbbbtttt :p
I can use a spray can just as well as you can.
Arguing over archery gear already? Yep she's hooked! Congrats to both of you! :clapper: As for a color I would paint it flat brown. But thats me.
