TBoF Charity 2013

Full suite of pictures from the Charity shoot.

 There's Robert waiting for his turn to shoot. I forgot how much waiting there was involved in 3D compared to FITA and field!

 That high anchor drives me completely up the wall but it worked for this shoot and the indoors in Inglis! I'd love to have my anchor back under my chin because it feels the most natural to me!

 What on earth am I supposed to be shooting at again? A lot of targets were pretty hard for me to see and identify!

One of the few times Robert is actually at full draw ... kinda. I forgot how difficult most traditional archers can be to photograph well!

 Group picture! I think Robert was hiding somewhere... Nothing like having Protege #1 there to help me shoot better! She definitely showed us that in the right hands, a little kiddie bow at kiddie poundages can do some serious damage!

Took a huge surprise 1st -- wasn't expecting to place particularly well given the large number of 5's I shot until I realized I only missed 1/40 of the shots. I finished with a 290/400, no idea where my fellow female longbow people finished but I think there were at least 10 of us in the division. I think Protege #1 finished 4th in the recurve division, which is pretty darned good for someone who usually shoots targets and probably shoots just about anything and everything like I do!

Hogs!

 Piglets in a nest. They're incredibly soft and fuzzy and this is by far the cutest stage of their lives.

 The piglets are certainly curious about the funny-looking blob with a flash camera!

 Second of two hogs I took with my .243. I thought it was on the order of 45-50 kgs. It was actually about 87 kg. Yikes! It didn't look THAT big when I shot it!

The first of the two hogs I took. I was expecting it to be on the order of 35 kgs. It was more 45 kgs. It looked pretty small but I guess they are indeed larger than they appear!

R had taken me out to Tiger Island Outfitters to do some hog-hunting as a belated birthday present. It's not too far from Cedar Key and it was a very pleasant morning aside from some of these itty-bitty biting bugs that weren't exactly visible. They call those little buggers no-see-'ums. I can see why. Let's just say I now have a nice freezer full of good wild pork!
