My new hobby.

So, i've been into Archery for about a month. It's a new hobby, for sure. I've never been real good at sports. I can run and stuff, but as a kid, I was always reallllllly scared to mess up my back because it ALWAYS hurt. So, now that my back is 90% better, I feel better about sports. And when I started up archery, which just so happened to be on a double date.... I fell in love.

So, my two friends Jeff and Jared and I decided that after our first time shooting that we would continue to do so. We found out about the S.A.B.A. shoot on April 9th, so we decided to sign up. $15 gets you lunch and a day of archery at the river bottom with 3D animal targets. So... here are the pics from the big day. ENJOY!

^The line of SUV/Trucks..... and then Jeff's civic, "Cedric". We were one of 2 cars... everyone else had trucks. Haha. Go figure.
^Pretty view. Bear by the river; arrowed.
^ Quiver-less... so we had to be inventive and hold the arrows in our pockets. We'll know for next year.
