    New to this place. Grew up on the Iron Range in Minnesota. Retired from the Marine Corps. Currently work as a game warden in Arkansas. Been shooting bows since the early 70's when I got my first stick and string. Been hunting bow only for the last six years. My back yard range is 60 yards plus. I shoot almost every day. Here to learn and share stories. Looking forward to meeting and learning from fellow hunters and willing to share what little I know.

    Getting dark but will try tomorrow. Ain't great, using Horse stall mats for back stop set up with landscape timbers and 2x4s. Laid out between my pasture and the neighbors. Got an old Styrofoam target for a base to set my shooting target up on. Great for shooting balloons at long range.

    Thanks. Used to play football and swam against the Timberwolves. That was a long time ago, (back in the 70's) hope my memory serves me right.

    Thanks for the welcome. Are your hunting Louisiana or Arkansas? Lots of Louisiana folks hunt up this way.
