Bow Fest

[2Poppa]

Each year a bunch of guys from church get together and fine tune their bows, we call it Bow Fest. We never have less than thirty people and have had as many as one-hundred and twenty.
It started out a hand full of guys would come to my house with deer jerky and venison chili, a few wives and shoot into the night.

The last couple of years we have had a deer on a cable simulating a deer running through the woods. With blue skies, no rain in-sight, good food and fellowship, fun was the order of the day. Hope you like the pictures ...
