Well, I had plans with a buddy of mine to work on clearing out a food plot or two. With the rain it was not a pretty day, but he still came in from Western PA to help so we didn't let it get us down. Here is my buddy on my Suzuki Skid Steer.(Vinson)
It wasn't bad in the early morning, but around noon it let loose and we were soaked to the bone. We managed to get on location cleared pretty good. After the usual run around to the Gander Mountain and Dick's Sporting Goods to kill time, the rain let upand we decided to get some shooting in. Here is my buddy Kies.
All in all, not a bad Saturday. Even if we did get soaked.
Tomorrow should be a good time. I haven't talked to Rob yet to see who is gonna be in attendance. Matt Hensler, did you get your string on? PA Hardwoods, tkycaller, twild, BP? Anyone in?

Pretty cool day Ben, had ya chance you should have swung by to meet Matt. He said he wished he gotten our message so you could have picked up a quiver.
Matt's all set up and his bow is shooting fantastic, It's a Ross, we put on new Gibblet string and cable, new loop, got it all tweaked, "Super" tuned and shooting darts! The bow is a good shooter and Matt makes the most of it. We had a little dilemna though, after getting her (the bow) perfect, we had to take apart the Copper John Dead Nuts sight to get it low enough to sight it in. We were actually perplexed. Might be a slight high anchor point for when I drew it and anchored I would have to bring the peep up which in turn would bring the POI up lessening the need to lower the sight. We got'r done though.
The rain let up just enough to go outside and shoot a few. 20, perfect, 30 we tweaked and for the first time ever he shot at a 40 yard 3D target and stuck two in the 12 ring. Yeah, he's on...LOL
I had a great time working with Matt on his bow. I don't think he'll be joining us to shoot tomorrow but it will be a great group including,
twildsin, BPBowhunter, tkycaller, Nate, perhaps his wife and myself. Matt (M.Hensler/PA) will be joining us eventually when time allows.
Cool, it does sound like a great group. Glad to hear ya go Matt all set up. I am sure I will get to meet someday soon. It would have been a wash on the quiver anyhow...He only has a LH black left.

Rob, um last night got a little out of hand when my bud Jeremy got into town and we were at the Lodge until advised to take it somewhere else. (we weren't that rowdy, they wanted to close) Kate's working late and I don't think I am gonna make it. Never know though.
Ohio? Snow?is it coming to PA?
Crow, Actually that sweat shirt that I lent my buddy was a gift from my in laws when I moved to Hughesville. I am a Montoursville Warrior.[8D] I just live in Hughesville for a while bc the fellow Montoursvillians are aweful proud of their real estate and their prices show it.

I hope we don't get that snow Scott, it's rained all day and I know we might get some snow, it's better if you get it all and it fizzles out before we see it. [8D]
Made the best of a rainy day.
