I haven't spent too much time on skills the last week other than shooting. I try to shoot anytime it is light out and the temperature is in the 50s. I don't mind light rain as long as it is warm. It seems like every time I got out to shoot I come back with fewer and fewer shootable arrows. I've got broken nocks, pulled off tips, and unglued fletching, but most of all it is broken shafts. I've worn out shafts more than Isaac Hayes.
I didn't get to work on anything this weekend because I was playing volleyball at IU. My alumni team got together to play a match against the current club team. It was great because we beat them despite all the goofing around we did. The volleyball wasn't really the main focus of the weekend. It was really an excuse to get together and party. We went out to bars both Friday and Saturday night. I wish I had pictures to show you, but I didn't have my camera with me. If I come by some I'll post them.

"You know, like numchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills."
--Napolean Dynamite
The main purpose of this blog is for me to document and share my practicing of skills. While, I won't be practicing numchuck skills or computer hacking skills, I am practicing bowhunting skills and a slew of other survival skills. I may have posts about other things as well though.

Hickory shafts is where its at.
I figured I'd get some new shafts at the bowmaker's convention in a couple weeks.
you mustn't forget that partying is a skill.
all this talk of shafts is making me uncomfortable.
