You guys have a great time tomorrow and let us know how it went. Damon and I went out this evening. Rabbits three, us zero. I had a running shot through a ditch and brush. Didn't get the bunny but I did get an old bucket. Took a while to get the woody back out as the hex head didn't want to pull through.

The crew today was Chris (Lefty), Don (Kelley40) and myself (Shaun) and a couple stick bow shooters from down by Ottumwa. We met at the Keokuck County Archers "Chili shoot" which is a winter 3-D gathering - $10 for fourty targets and all the chili you can eat.

Here Ron bears down on a bear - out of hibernation a little early.

One of the fellows from Ottumwa (Don, help me out with the names) takes aim with his self bow. We lost very few arrows in spite of the deep snow and shots taken from the wheelie stake like this. The 3-D deer is about 40 yards just over the two stumps.

Don pulling arrows from a thoughly killed bob cat.

#40 was an elevated stand, the other Ottumwa archer takes a bead on a bedded buck.

Which we all managed to hit

No action shots of me and Chris. But the two of us did chase rabbits for an hour or so after the chili lunch. We saw 4 bunnies but had no shots. Home with tired legs and all my arrows.

Thanks for posting Shaun. Glad to hear you didn't lose any arrows in the snow. How did you guys like the 3D shoot. I used to shoot there all the time.
