Mecer Co. Bowbenders Snowshoe Shoot pics
« on: February 22, 2017, 12:37:40 am »
While the name wasn't very fitting with temps nearing 60, this years snowshoe shoot was a blast. We had the largest turnout thus far. Many who have a hard time in the colder weather were able to make it out this year. This wasn't a true primitive shoot, but it was restricted to single string and no sights. Most everyone shot modern recurves. My wife and I went against the norm (like usual) and shot selfbows.

Here's the group pic after the shoot.


And here's one of Outback Bob and myself. Who says playing dress up is just for kids?

That bow you made for your grand daughter looked even better in person. I trust she had some fun shooting it with grandpa.

I always think this looks like a ton of fun.  Wish you all could have had some snow but the conditions do look nice.

There was a little snow in the shady spots that hadn't melted off yet, but it was way more wet than frozen. Probably a good thing considering I popped a strap on my snowshoes and had forgotten all about fixing it.

Thanks for admiring the "get up". Hopefully I can take a tip from Bob and get an out fit that better matches my noggin by next year. I'm guessing I'll need more than just the one hide I'm currently tanning.
