Default Long winter

Hey all,

It's been a pretty long harsh winter but the weather is finally turning and it's about that time to dust off your bows and get back out there to start shooting! 47 deg today here in PAand alls I gotta say is it's about time.

It has not been a real bitter winter, but definitely long. The cold weather started early and has persisted late. It's going to be in the 60's here today.

Definitely much nicer shooting

Dan

tiring.

I plan on getting out and hanging some trail cams today, supposed to be in the 50's...hopefully it lasts, I was out shooting in the cold, but I def. prefer this weather over single digits.

It's going to be in the upper 70s-low 80s here in SC this weekend. I can't wait! I'll be slinging some arrows.

If I lived down there I'd shoot EVERYDAY, sometimes I can't shoot here because the target is a block of ICE, and I prefer not to destroy arrows!!!

Shot for a while yesterday, quite enjoyable!!!
