And as you can see, there is never a lack of comic relief when Rich and Bill are around.

Thanks for the pics, keep 'em coming.

Raineman and Droptine

Mrs. Droptine--see how deceiving the short little deer is with the big rack...

I don't know if I am doing this right, but here comes a video. Many of the shots were 'thread the needle' shots, trying to get your arrow through tight brush or between trees.

On this particular shot MigraBill sorta hit the needle. It was spectacular display of flying debris, and the video is the aftermath. Listen as one of the archers behind us nails a 55-gallon drum that a 3d bear had his head in.

It seems the forum doesn't allow embeds, so here is a link:

Another pic and vids:

Video is of a very effective Turkey force-field. The Kill shot belongs to Mr. Droptine59 himself, captured in the photo above.

Over the river and through the woods...what a great 3d course!

Droptine may do a great job rebuilding a bow, but he may need help with his choice of socks...

The one of Joe shooting the pig over the midget deer uses some highly technical archery terms...."foamage". Perhaps a regional term in the mid-atlantic?

Its also cool to watch my son and me "play" as we usually do. "Chase the Ace" is fun for us. We try and go through as many nocks as we can.

Thanks Bernie.
