Getting Cooler

The weather is getting cooler now and is quite enjoyable. We will be going to the Celtic Festival this weekend. Probably on Saturday. Then the guys will go to Dragoon for the 3-D shoot on Sunday. I will post on my blog any pictures that they get. I am still learning how to navigate around and am looking for the photo area.

The 3-D shoot is an all day affair. The guys will get up early; probably around 4:00 or 5:00. The shoot starts at 7:00 a.m. It is a 90 minute drive to the Dragoons. This is a very scenic area in southeastern Arizona. Trails are marked out with 3-D targets along the way. The targets are animals of all varieties. The shoot might take 2 hours. Time depends on how many are in a group; how quickly the group moves from target to target; and how much sightseeing the group does. This is a wonderful time of year to go on 3-D shoots. The guys usually go with a group of three to five friends. They will most likely eat there and not get back home until early to mid afternoon.

Usually in March there is a 3-D shoot in central Arizona. This is a huge shoot which draws families from all over the southwest. We have not yet gone to this one because the drive involved is more than a few hours. Maybe next year we will go and be able to spend the night there.

I think this blog might be heading towards being an archery blog. I think I'm fine with that because as a family we can all enjoy archery. I love that my almost 15-year old son enjoys being outdoors. Although he does have some of the electronics most kids have nowadays, he still likes being outside more than being indoors. What a kid! Gotta love 'im!
