Long morning in the woods!

[SimonM]

I have just bought a new hammock and decided to take it out and set it up this morning. I opted to go to our club field archery range as it would give me some peace & quiet and let me practice lobbing arrows down range!

Anyway I got the hammock up and made a brew then lobbed some arrows at a Bambi target! Once the hammock was up, I experimented with a poncho liner as an underblanket which seemed to work quite well. I just need to figure out how to fix the foot end as it is a Hennesey and I enter it from underneath.

Anyway, target practice went well, with some accurate single shots up to 50 yds (in Field Archery the first arrow that hits scores - so I often just shoot one arrow), and some very good 3 arrow groups (by my standards anway).

All in all I had a very peaceful (long) morning followed by another brew and some pasta cooked in the old Crusader!

Made me think though, I don't get out on my own enough!

Because shooting three would be greedy?

Dogs are for walking and for generally driving us owners nuts in a good way.

Thats the beauty of mid week shooting, everybody else is at work! Having said that I went again yesterday with a mate who works shifts. NEVER trust a mate with a camera.

After a hard morning shooting, a boil in the bag Lancashire Hoptpot & a brew I relaxed in the hammock for a few minutes - Just to rest my eyes you understand!

And no I didn't fall out!
