Yep great day that was and now two and a half days later the fires still hot.  I snuck one piece out from the side and it burnt me.  I like these long cooks that makes for a good stone.  now I just have to wait for it to cool down maybe I can pull it out tomorrow.

After years of struggling with hunting deer and developing good habits through hours of practice I have finally perfected a release and bow hold that is probably as good as it gets. Now I have found a way to build on those years of practice and tested hunting skills with my new targets arranged in the photo below as a challenging 3d course. This course provides the primitive archery with sight pictures similar to mine and guaranteed to produce the same results.

I've always wondered how you could so consistently hit dirt with your arrows.  Practice makes perfect!  ;) >:D  Josh

This spring Mr. Iowabow was practicing by shooting at a random cow pie.  He was spraying arrows to the right and to the left, both high and low.  He collected his various arrows and wiped the dirt off and stepped back to the shooting line, albeit much closer this time.  And again, the arrows scattered like so many partridge before a springer spaniel pup.  He did not become despondent, it is just not in his nature.  But again, when he squared off with the offending cow flop, he did so from just a few feet away.  And yet again, arrows everywhere but in the cow pat. 

Proving once again, he can hit dirt EVERY time with an arrow, but the man cannot hit sh**.

Josh, John, why would anybody be proud getting Poop on their arrows?
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

The truth of the matter is that John is a pretty darn good shot.  Don't tell him I said that though.  Lol!  Josh

The Lumber that we removed from the dam has dried. I pulled it all out and rough trimed the sides. Maybe it will save me a couple of dollars on the shelter project.

This year's project for the Homeless Shelter. Today I made 100 cups for their fundraiser with the help from the community. Handles will be added tomorrow.
