Daddy has been in to archery since he was a kid when Poppies Bailey bought my first bow. He was hoping I would become a hunter, which isn't really my thing,
but I have maintained my shooting skills. There are two local groups for archery with an indoor shooting range that has 3D/moving targets for use anytime during
the day/night for members. I prefer classic recurve bows, but need to keep the draw weight low as I have a bad back. :)
I've passed Poppies' bow on to Anthony as well as getting him his own take down recurve. He joins me at the club to shoot and has progressed very well since we
started in 2012. We haven't been shooting in a while, but intend on checking out the new outdoor range that opened up recently. Check out our equipment below as well as some of the fun.
Anthony's Equipment - Top to bottom:
- Bear compound 42" 50#-60# given to Daddy by Poppies Bailey, now passed to Anthony
- Cabella Recurve take-down 64" 25# Ranger (wooden)
- Easton fiberglass 32" arrows
- Leather back or side quiver with leather arm guard and glove
Daddy's Gear - Top to bottom:
- Bear fiberglass 62" 25# practice bow w black wrap
- Ragim wood & fiber glass 58" 35# bow (Italian made)
- Matrix Recurve take-down 64" 25# (wooden)
- Easton fiberglass 32" arrows

2018-04-21: Shooting at our indoor range (complete with heaters for winter and music that you
can control)
2018-04-21: We brought a couple of Anthony's friends along to have some fun. The club has plenty of bows to pick from if you don't have one of your own.
2013-12-28: See that long arrow hanging down? That's two of Daddy's arrows that he Robin-Hooded from 18m away, which (believe it or not) is common, because you are
shooting in a tight grouping, so you're bound to hit one perfectly from behind. (I have no idea why Anthony chose that pose.)
2013-10-19: Anthony's first real target practice
2013-10-19: Even better this round
2012-11-10: Anthony's first bow was a small Bear Junior. And that is his first shot ever.
Not bad at all.
