Another Sunday, another archery session

'Twas a very good one, though.

Used the new leather glove today, and was amazed at the difference it made in overall shooting. I even 'killed' someones' arrow (he hit his own arrow, bent it, I took the 'guts' out of it by nailing it twice afterward), twice, and shot a nock off of one of my own.

Then there was the clout shoot, 100 meters (almost 110 yrds) distance. Once again a wheelie bow (compound bow) user had to make comments about how Wing and I were at some disadvantage, not using sites, and the 'low poundage' draw of our bows.

Last week this guy was telling me there was something wrong with my bow.

I looked it over and said "Huh? What?"

He said "No wheels."

I smiled sweetly and said "Oh, I outgrew training wheels a long time ago!"

So, Wing and I lined up for the clout. Not only did I score mostly 9's and 10's, the first two practice rounds I actually overshot the target area. So much for not being able to be accurate or even reaching the target area.

I made sure J was standing close to Mike when I crowed about my scores.

The Prez of our archery club said to me the best thing to do with these guys who have 'bow snobbery' is to politely rub their noses into barebow achievements. >:-)
