Title: A stump shooting morning
Post by: centaur on January 11, 2009, 01:59:00 PM
Went  for a hike in the Arizona desert with longbow in hand. Targets of opportunity usually want to stick you or have rocks all around them, so I used some carbons for most of the shooting. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/ceastes/P1020064.jpg)
This old palo verde stump was safe for woodies, or so I thought until I broke off the point when I shot it.

So I started shooting carbons at cholla skeletons, which worked a little better; didn't break any.

The desert has received some moisture this winter, so some of the washes have some standing water. A few javelina and deer tracks around this one;

A nice morning spent in the solitude of the desert, just me and the bow. I can get into this snowbirding thing.

Vance,
This would be more appropriately called the "Big Thorns".
