how about a big Tradgang welcome to Jeff Vadney who jined not long ago. many know him as Bear Misser, want to explain that one Mr. Vadney???
notice his pretty powder blue arrows which weigh about 1200 grains, or so it seems!

Marty is a good fellow whom I wished lived a little closer. Ken, you aught to buy his arrows, they shoot good from your bow   :readit:  

I had a great time shooting with everyone, it was good to get out.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    I'm glad Thorny recommended it.

LOL, I had no idea you were shooting video when everyone told me to step up.  I thought you wanted me to have the same yardage as everyone else and not have a handicap excuse as far as distance.    :readit:

Tracks are only good if there is something standing in them. Had a good time today....shot like a bum but it was fun, nice to get out and do it with good folks!!

Thanks for sharing Ken and welcome Jeff. The only thing better is to get out for some hunting/shooting ourselves.

this was not from today but by far my favorite picture of Charlie after he lost his arrow in about 100 feet of snow, looks a little disgusted with me taking the picture!

I guess if the weather is going to stay this mild and snow free we should do this a bit more often. We'll most likely get 2 feet next week and it drop to 20 below now that I made that statement!   :biglaugh:

Sure wish I lived closer, that looks like a lot of fun! I love stumping in the snow, we dont have any here in North IA yet.

The snowmobilers are pissed!  :D
Title: Re: a nice day with friends
Post by: kat on January 08, 2012, 06:31:00 PM
The pictures show an accurate depiction of the snow that was on the ground. Less than an inch.
Perfect amount for looking for arrow skid marks.

Good to see you all having a good time.

I never heard them called passengers....lol! Gee I hate them things! Good thing they don't like stumps, they would hurt the herd of shooters we saw today!   :jumper:    :jumper:

Ken, always enjoy the posts of stump shoots. I think I'll have to get out and do some of that. Just have a few more weeks of winter bow to finish up first.
