Chamberlin Ranch- Traditional Archery shoot.

[mtnfolk mike]

well, here are some of my many pics from this weekends shoot.. we all had a blast.. it was cool to see old friends and make a few new ones..

the property that the shoot was held on is absolutley gorgeous.. it is 5,000 acres of oak covered, rolling green hills... the wildflowers are going off too this time of year..

the fam..

the misses and Stingray..

this is a cool shot of Stingray's wife Kathryn, trying to shoot through the hole in the log... notice the arrow in flight... she kicked butt for someone who is new to shooting..

the little dude Cypress loving life..

our older son shot really well too(1st youth longbow), he is 12 now and had to be bumped up in class and is now having to shoot from the adult stake...

Mr. Bluenote

more to come.

and some more pics..

this is Gearman's good friend Michael.. he has been shooting with us the past couple of shoots and is doing really well...

the misses rocked as usual..

since i genarally take most of the pics during our adventures i am rarely in them, here is one of the few of me shooting..

Nick(Stingray) and his wife Kathryn.

the infamous steel turkey.. it is worth double the amount of points if you nail it, if you don't, say bye bye to your arrows... you also have an option to shoot the hen behind it.. that is the little dude and Christian(CBryant) inspecting the fallen soldiers..

Gearman shooting his awesome English longbow.

more to come..

Christian(CBryant) shooting.

another of Christian and I.

we managed to get some nice weather while we were there, up until the last day.. it dumped on us pretty much the whole way back and is still today.. rain or not, i do love driving into our cozy little mountain town..

thanks for looking.. hopefully Stingray and Christian will add their's to this post too...

cheers.. Mike and co.

Great pics Mike. Between this an archery golf I've got to find a free weekend. Also, who makes your son's quiver with the second strap?

Unfortunately I didn't get any shots of the shoot, just scenery.

Our camp in the middle. Grey pick-up, blue pop up shades, white pick-ups.

I had a great time!

Man, great pics guys!!!

Mike, I love the pic you got of me and Kathryn shooting, and the one with Kathryn's arrow in flight.

I was trying to get one of those all weekend, but couldn't.

Anyways, here are a few I took, I'll try not to be too redundant...

First some scenery:

Cy doing some meditating

The archery goddesses...

Wouldn't you know, I made it on one photo in my entire camera!

My wife and Timber who is, as always facing the direction of camp...

 

[stingray4540]

Here's a couple pics of you Mike, and the rest of the gang.

That this guy is doing well for as short a time as he has been shooting, is an understatement!

Christian, gettin it done.

And last but not least, Sotaro killin some Elk.
