Shoot, I've been trying to get him to come to TN for a showdown, but methinks he's skeered to leave AR.

I shot through the back feathers on the flying turkey with my selfbow (yes, it had real feathers, wings, and a beard), but hit it with my Crusader and got the pig with both. Outhouse bear got me with the Crusader--dummy me stood on the lower side, and when the door had moved only a short distance I was cut off completely--got it with the Orangutan though. Only target I missed with the selfbow was the flying turkey, but shot way too many 5's. One thing about not having the right arrows for it--it is NOT forgiving. If I did everything just right, I got decent flight. If I drew the least bit short or plucked the string even a little bit, my shot was off to the left, not to mention the arrow looked like it might swap ends on the way to the target. I should probably keep shooting it with the same arrows--great form practice.

Tal just amazes me--he has made some massive leaps and bounds in his accuracy in just a few years. Now he gives Rod Jenkins a run for his money when they shoot the same course. He kills me with that bow--looks like you could dang near outrun the arrow to the target, but man alive he is accurate with it.

September 16 is the Lost Tribe Charity Shoot (even folks from AR are invited). Free meal, door prizes, and a decked-out Hunter II will be raffled off there. A VERY nice hand-made and engraved tomahawk will be the prize for the Warrior's Challenge novelty. It's a great club for sure.

I hope to be at the ASTB State Championship--remember that AL in August is about the same as MS in August--HOT. Good thing is the showers are close, and you can hit it as often as you want. Hope to see you there!
