Little afternoon shooting. As bad as I am at shooting it, I love this bow.

I upped the ante from a tennis ball today. Today and tomorrow are the last days to shoot before my shoulder surgery on Tuesday. Thinking about getting a Sage or something similar @ 35#-40# to start shooting when Doc and PT give me the green light to start again. Minimum in MI is 35# for whitetail, just in case I don’t make it back to my longbow @ 55# in time.

First pic is this time last year. About to make her first road trip for a 3d shoot down in kamloops. She was 6 months and I couldnt believe she got so big so fast. The second is the other day at the range. Felt like we got no puppy time. But she still is a puppy for the most part. I feel blessed to have such a good dog in my life. She brings back birds, sniffs out antlers, finds my arrows, and when she isn't doing that she's finding some other way to be the MVP.

What method do you prefer and why? I currently shoot 3 under but since we have a while before deer season, I think I might experiment a little. See what happens.

Opening day here for us in Ontario. Enjoying a 2C morning, very still, waiting for that first gobble here at our small farm. Got my trusty Saratoga Longbow with me and a couple of options for broad heads. Trying the funky chicken Jake over a breeding hen decoy. Nice and close to the blind.
