BOW SHOOTING

Bow Shooting in the Hawkes Bay

On July 26th 2013 I went on a trip with some shooters and bow hunters from Thames valley deer stalkers club to a station in the Hawkes Bay. Early  Saturday morning after breakfast we had to meet at the woolshed for a briefing and designated areas to shoot.The guys from the station took us up to our area,they showed us where a mob of goats were and left us to it.  The first mob we snuck up on spooked and ran away.  We sidled around the ridges and came upon another mob of goats.  Dennis was leading ,and snuck up on the ridge line and peered over and spotted two goats feeding.  He waved me up so I could have a go at shooting my first goat with my bow.  I knocked up my arrow,and drew my bow back to full draw and aimed just behind the front leg and fired !

I was so wrapt  I had shot my first goat.....Yes!

Dennis and my dad ,mark were so proud of me. What an awesome trip that was.

Adventures in the Pit

I went down the slide at the park as fast as a bullet. I screamed  down and I went flying into the ball pit. I went under the balls and a lollipop fell on my cheek and it stuck. I climbed up the balls there was a big deep, deep, deep, hole below me. “Oh no its too hard to get up” I think to myself,  grabbing the lollipop that rested on the bed of balls. “Yuck” even worse , this thing on the stick is half eaten and has a manky hair stuck to it- “ripped off”. A plaster landed on my face. I used the lollipop as a hiking axe It was cool going up it was half way in till light it was 100 and 50 meters up.I felt so strong I am going faster  and faster I kept going until I reach the top. I made it to the top.
