Just Call Me 'Robin Hood'

One of our favorite things to do in the backyard is archery.  Del sets out some bails of hay and then Mike puts a bulls eye on it for us to shoot at.  Because some of us miss the target more often than we hit it, there are great adventures to be had out in our forest searching for the missing arrow.


My first attempt was a HUGE fail, with the arrow landing directly at my feet.  Caused for much laughter from the peanut gallery.


Second attempt DID hit the target...somewhere.  Third attempt sent us on one of those 'forest adventures'.  Ricocheted off the top of the bales of hay and went sailing over the forest trees.  It was awesome!!!

Maid Marion had a few good shots of her own - her Prince Charming was truly the most accurate of all, hitting a bulls eye one of his first attempts.  

My one and only bulls eye came with a side affect...a massive bruise on my left underarm that looked
abusive' for weeks.

Once we had mastered the 'stationary' target, we chose to 'up our game' and go for the 'moving targets', which were our neighbors escaped goats from their backyard.  They learned very quickly that we were tired of them eating the only lasting remnants of our pathetic attempt of a garden!!!
