The 4th, 3-D, and a Big Box

Well, the July 4th weekend has come and gone and I trust yours was as enjoyable as mine. Sometimes, life gets in the way of what really matters and it was nice to slow down, relax and spend some quality time with my family; especially this time of year when it seems a lot of attention gets directed at the upcoming hunting seasons. (I will be the first to admit though; my husband and I are just as guilty of that as anyone). Hopefully, wherever you were and whatever you were doing, you had loved ones by your side. There was a lot going on around our house with family members coming to visit, ATV rides to be taken, swimming lessons to be given and a number of fireworks displays for the kids to watch. But, when all was said and done, everyone had a wonderful time. Sadly, just like that….the weekend was over.


The following week, with thoughts of September and our hunt with Blake Christopher of Outfitters Edge.com as strong as ever in our minds, my husband and I, along with his dad, brother and 1 1/2 yr old nephew, headed out to the 3-D range for a round of arrow slingin’. A shortage of baby sitters didn’t deter us from doing what we love to do so much….SHOOT OUR BOWS! With the help of a rather large stroller, the four of us took turns navigating the sometimes steep, rocky path between targets. I am sure it was odd looking to the other shooters on the course but it worked! Where there is a will, there is a way. While the air was muggy and hot we all had a wonderful time; especially my husband. It isn’t often that he gets to spend time with his brother and dad at the same time. Without revealing any names, I did manage to beat one of the guys and finished 1 point behind another! I was extremely happy with how well I shot. 3-D courses can be very challenging, which is what makes them such a valuable training tool for pre-season preparation.





As the week came to a close I looked back with fond memories and ahead with anticipation and excitement. Hunting season is drawing near and there is a rather large box from Robinson Outdoors sitting in the corner with my name on it! I think I have a pretty good idea about what’s inside. I’m so excited!!!!!! Until next time….. Jessi >>----->
