TBoF Charity Shoot 2009









As always, click on the title to see the full album from the 2009 TBoF Charity shoot. In a strange mixture of luck and miracles and disappearing archers, I tied for first place in women's longbow with 300/400 and the next person behind me was at 290. It was a very, very close shoot. My first round was rather embarrassing with several shots that went astray, resulting in a 130/200 but the second round, aside from a few "what the frequency are we shooting at?" moments, I nailed it with a 170/200.

One of my favorite targets at the shoot, which I didn't photograph, was a beaver target. Between the beaver being the Caltech mascot and the general potty humor surrounding beavers, well, I think it was nearly impossible to make a good shot on it. Plus there's just something inherently funny about Castor canidensis ... or rodents in general for that matter. At least the target wasn't one of the Heteromyidae rodents or it would've been a real bugger to hit!

I will hopefully write some more once my brain cells regenerate!
