Multi tasking.  I think he's calling his archery coach to tell him he's fired.  😂

So here we are, strolling through an afternoon post official competition on the second course. We made the scoring a little different in that there was no scorecard.  We made it real simple, best arrow on a target gets one point, ties were no score. Now I must be honest, I switched bows to a 66" long Blacktail for the afternoon.  It was a bow I had won the auction here on Tradgang supporting PBS.  Well, we went out on the course cold (although Roger did graciously offer to warm up on the range first).  Roger jumped out to a 3-0 lead, including the infamous buffalo shot.  So I slowly creep back into the competition until it's all noted at 6 targets each.  Then it happens, gimme shot on a whitetail target, Roger had shot first and makes a solid kill shot. I'm thinking just settle in this is another push target, release and POW, arrow goes flying over the target and I thought my bow exploded. Now, there was an overhead pine limb that was nowhere near in the way when I set up.  All I know is Roger was standing out of sight behind me and when I turned around to ask if he saw what happened and he said I don't know as he shoved what looked like a piece of string in his pocket.  Well, Roger went on to win the afternoon shootoff, but he mentioned something about me flinching on every shot after the incident. Well, I'll let you all come to your own conclusions.  😇

Just tomorrow and Thursday before we draw a winner.  Pretty good odds at a LaClair Skinner worth $160 for a small donation. Double your odds if you guess who's the greatest Shrewhaven archer of all time.  😉

Ray,

I have donated and sent you the email

Zach Ruble z_ruble@yahoo.com

I think Roger beat ya!  Sorry Ray!

Good thing you all are doing here!  Good luck to all!

Zach,
I got your confirmation-Thank you for the donation👌👌

For all, I'll have my daughters do the random drawing tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9 pm, so that will be entry cutoff. 

Roger's laser guided carbons or my steeped in tradition custom cedar arrows with their traditional soul.  A mans got to ask himself when caught up in all the excitement of a shootout, did I score enough on those last three targets?..........go ahead gentlemen, place your guesses and make my day. 😉

Hey Ray!  I just contributed.  What you guys are doing is awesome. My gut tells me to vote for you, but I feel sorry for Roger so I cast my vote for him!

I flipped a coin and it came up....Roger.

Dave, you're in. Drawing will happen in the morning.  First day of bear baiting in my unit and my daughters and my good buddy and I got my stand established.  Just got back and too tired to get everything laid out.

Jason Taylor, you are the winner!!!!!!

There were 8 participants and 4 selected Roger and 4 selected me (the shootoff winner).  I went down the order of the list a assigned 1 card to those who picked Roger and two cards to the wise people who picked me.   I then shuffled the cards very thoroughly and dealt them out face down. Without knowing what I was doing I had my wife select a number between 1 and 12. She selected 2, so I flipped the second card over and matched to the name. 

Jason, I'll get your e-mail address to Ron so he can contact you about shipping the knife. 

As far as the archery competition, we'll, it ended up in a dogfight seesawing battle. Roger has a couple of close misses on the second and third to the last targets and that ended up being the difference, remember we only scored kill shots so an arrow on the wrong side of the line was a zero.  Roger gained redemption in the afternoon and if you take away his 'interference' Target, 🙄, we shot to a draw on the day.  Roger is a very good shot.  More importantly he's a great person and the best of camp mates. 

Thank you to all who played/contributed to St. Jude's.  $350 to the kids and a fun time by Roger, Ron and I were icing on the cake.  Roger, your t-shirt will be ready soon.  😂

Thank you!!!  I may have won the drawing, but the kids at St Jude are the real winners as always.  It's always great to be able to help out a good cause.  I'll be waiting for next years rematch to see if Roger can redeem himself.
