I have a good neighbor...actually he's GREAT!

[Bud B.]

Marty, my next door neighbor, has been a good neighbor for the 19 years I've lived in my house. He knows I shoot bows...ALOT. I mentioned to him a few days ago that I wanted to buy a 3D target for practice. He tells me there's one in his shed and to get it and shoot away.

Well, today I go next door and do a bit of digging (he's a packrat like me) and there it is. In an unopened box there sits the McKenzie buck like I've seen in other yards for years. I dig it out and open it up. Aside from several years of mice poop staining it, it was in great shape. A bleach solution bath and an hour or so later I get him st up and now it's official. I finally have a 3D target and better yet a great neighbor; that much I always knew.

I'll try to post some pics later. My wife absconded with the camera to her riding lesson.

Good deal Bud! Sounds like your a good neighbor as well. Why else would he give it to you!  Congrats!

Wish I had neighbors like that, OH ! that's right, I live in N.J.

Just kidding, I have a few good neighbors, just not as good as yours.

I've tried. He's a former compound shooter that works way too much to do much of anything. He's self-employed and is always on the go. He doesn't even hunt much anymore, and when he has time, it's gun hunting.

I'll keep trying though

Good shooting Bud!

Your neighbor is also lucky to have someone like you as his neighbor too.

Not just any neighbor could or would help him clean junk out of his storage...lol

God bless,Mudd
