John and Josh from the Cache Archers (and me too) went to shoot at 3D targets in Card Canyon. The targets look like real animals (except the dinosaur one) and there is an insert section on the body with circles around the animal's vital organs with small circles identifying better kill shots. The archers aim for those little circles. In a competition, they would get more points for smaller circles.
John dry-fired Josh's bow (meaning he fired it without an arrow!) but it didn't break. That's the second time John has done such an oooops and he's getting a complex. The first time caused a costly repair to John's bow (his is still being repaired - that's why he was using Josh's today!) but today's ooops didn't damage Josh's equipment. Thank God!
The picture of the deer with 2 arrows in it has one arrow from John and one from Josh. I think they were taken from around 32 yards. So John is doing pretty well for a novice. Josh has 4 years experience, won the winter league, and has killed an animal the last 2 years.
Now if John can put one in the sweet spot of an elk this fall, we'll be golden! Go John!
