oh man this is sooo funny.. Reminds me of when my pops bought me a set of Este's model rockets... Something every 10yr old should have access to HAHAHAA...

 

We used to hollow out estes rocket engines and make all sorts of fun things

I had a recurve bow when I was a kid. My father bought me some arrows and a target. I got bored with this in no time. I found much more fun to hide behind trees and Shoot arrows into the air like old school warfare. I found it particularly fun to plant them into the side of the house. When questioned, I blamed it on woodpeckers. Everyone knows that wood peckers have a thing for cedar shingles.
Growing up with lots of space wasn't too bad.

 

good stuff. I recommend diesel+fertilizer in a large plastic jar, and shooting it with 8mm tracer rounds from a Mauser army rifle.

 

Great story!!!!

I have been shooting/competing since childhood and I even worked in an Archery Pro shop for a long while. After hours when the shop was closed we used to have employee range time and that was always fun! We shot all kinds of ****!! You have no idea how much fun it is to blow **** up with an arrow; we used to shoot flaming arrows into M-80s, cans of hairspray and spary paint, SO much fun!!!

 

that was awesome.

 

"So here I am, on the ground blown completely out of my shoes
with my thundercats T-Shirt shredded, my dad is on the other side of the
carport having what I can only assume is a Vietnam flashback: ECHO
BRAVO CHARLIE YOUR BRINGIN' EM IN TOO CLOSE!! CEASE FIRE. GODD***IT CEASE FIRE!!!!!"

I LOLed pretty hard at this part. enough for people to come see what it was about. Haha, great find!

 

Where the hell is an Archery Range? It's been a long while (since Boy Scouts), but I love me some compound bow action!

Haha, made my day
I used to shoot a recurve when I was a kid, but NEVAR EVAR came up with ideas like that

 

I am trying to read your post, but your avatar is so distracting... it makes me feel dirty...

 

There's a shop in Gilroy with an indoor range up to 40yards and I know Salinas has the huge Salinas Bowmn Range outdoor and MtMadonna has a huge outdoor range.
Let me know if you wanna go shoot sometime. I'd love to have someone to shoot with! I have 3 compounds, but I rarely get to shoot since I am taking a break from competition.

 

I shoot in my in-laws back yard. Foam target and giant hay bale backstop and like 5 acres. I could probably get away with it in my backyard because there's plenty of room, but I don't want to freak out the neighbors. Can't wait to get my daughters into it.

I need to stop looking at bows for myself while researching kid's bows.

 

Haha, when you look at my avatar, you have to imagine Sailor Moon's voice going "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" for the full effect

 

Awesome story is awesome!

 

yyyyyyyyyyeah, cause THAT makes it better.
