Title: Took the kids to thier first 3D
Post by: huntingnut on March 07, 2009, 06:47:51 PM: I wasn't able to go to the meeting in Ellensburg because of lack of babysitter, so my dad and I took the kids to their first 3D shoot. We went to the Kamiakan shoot in Zillah. The first two courses we shot where excellent, the weather was good and the kids had fun. We probably should have shot course #3 first, it's out in the open and by the time we got there the wind was awful. Needless to say the kids didn't have fun anymore. I only had two 5's on the first two courses and was lucky to get anything other than a 5 on the third course. We won't be going to another shot for a few weeks, so hopefully the weather is better the next time. Here are some pics.

He still has a few years, but he was having fun with his bow and arrow.

I think he was having more fun looking backwards through the binoculars and playing with sticks in the dirt.

Post by: huntingnut on March 08, 2009, 09:55:16 PM: The wind was crappy. Even with the wind, this was the first time I didn't miss a target. It did cause me to get more 5's than I would liked to have.
