Efter ikke at have skudt med pil og bue siden forrige efterår, begyndte jeg igen i mandags. Til start var det svært bare at ramme den halmballe, jeg havde malet en skydeskive på, men i dag lykkedes det faktisk ret godt. Dagens første serie endte faktisk med alle pilene inden for den yderste ring, men jeg glemte at tage et billede, så det her må række.

After not having practised my arrow shooting since Autumn 2018, I began again this Monday. At first it was hard to even hit the big bale of straw we use as a target. Wednesday I painted a target on the bale, today I got all the arrows inside the outer ring, but forgot to take a photo. This almost as good one has to suffice.
Også i dag købte Ugelungerne tre nye pile. Så har vi 10, hvis vi lader de to gamle, slidte træpile udgå. Det er herligt. Der kommer nok flere billeder af Uglemors fremskridt senere.

Also today the Owlets went shopping for gifts and brought home three new arrows for MotherOwl. Fine, them we have 10 arrows if we retire the two old, wooden ones. That's a good number.
It is decades since I have attempted to use a bow and arrow. I am seriously impressed that your muscle memory seems to be working well.
SvarSletHave fun - with both the new and the old arrows.
I was surprised as well, and I sure am having fun now that I hit the bale of straw :)
SletWhile i never mastered it, #2 Son made his own bow and arrows and taught himself to shoot, back when he wanted to grow up to be Legolas the Elf!
SvarSletOh, I'd like to do this too. Bows are very expensive if they are good. Legolas is a great hero, my choldren are playing at being ninjas or rangers after reading Rangers apprentice.
SletJeg skal også se at komme i gang igen. Hvor lang afstand skyder I på?
SvarSletUh, ikke ret langt. Vi har kun sådan en billig børnebue. Og haven er jheller ikke så lang. Vi har ikke målt.
SletMen allerhøjst 20 meter. Den bue, vi bruger, er ikke god nok til længere skud. Billigt bras ;) Noget i stil med denne her: Bue den er bare af rødt metal i stedet for glsafiber.
Slet... og nu vi er ved ting vi burde, hvad så med din blog? Burde du ikke give den lidt opmærksomhed? Du er savnet.
