[Steppes] Steppes Archery Practice 3/16

[David Ruff]

Yeah you did shoot nice this week and last in the
IKAC, Not far from wiping me off the map :) Will be a
pleasure to see you pass me my friend :)

Yeah nothen to fear from me. I can't shoot this year
and my prod has lost 11 pounds and is starting to get
weak, figures tho, i prolly have cycled that prod a
good 10K times with all the shooting i have done. IT
has been a great crossbow and served me VERY well.
Will be before to long i will not fire it until i get
the prod replaced, and i am starting to build my
target crossbow for next year :)

Jacque shot a high 100 or low 200 last week and a 214
today. I forget what i got, but he was doing well.
Can't wait to see him with that horse bow, some good
arrows and his crossbow with the bolts i am making
him. LOOK OUT Lord Owen :)

As for your curiosity :) the Crossbow is done and
ready to goto its home. It speed shoots like no
tomorrow - i was geting 7 and 8 off in 30 seconds in
the field next to our house tonight. Its patterning
very tight and altho i do not like the long stock, it
will suit you VERY well :) I got pictures all the way
from its first cut to its firing, will include those
next week when i get it to you :)
