Gator Bowmen 900 Round

We need some good hard freezes but even the cooler weather does make life a lot easier for me to go to Gator Bowmen. I had the option of shooting a 28 target animal round but as an Olympic recurve, I'd probably only shoot 28 scoring arrows plus I'd have to go through Bug Alley, which is a stretch of the field course where the bugs are so thick that I could literally be in a hijab and covered in 3 cans of DEET and permetherin and still get carried away by the local mosquitoes and flies.

  Gator Bowmen practice butts for field...

 Gator Bowmen 900 field, which we hardly ever get to use. It's relatively bug-free.

Someone's freezing there. Gotta love our target-slaying compounders. 

 Spider!

 Hace mucho frio!!

 Voices of wisdom, including my routine arch-rival Frank, who actually did end up destroying me today in a 687 to 627 round. I also had the advantage of a sight and a stabilizer and a clicker! Maybe next time I can turn the tables around again! That 687/900 though is an *amazing* score for barebow, especially considering how long he's been around!

 Compound power!

 Is it really *that* cold? Most of the shooters acted like it was sub-zero temperatures. It was *almost* shorts and shirt weather for me. The long stuff was more for mosquito control than anything else.

 Olympic recurves unite!

 Spider!!

 Best round all day at 50 yards.  My first two were a bit high but the rest got into place! The next several shots of me and on the line are courtesy of A. Skelton, who dutifully watched and photographed us and her daughter,  Bug. 

 Spider!

 Gator Bowmen is a wonderful place for spider-ing!  I love spiders!

 59 yard shot on the animal round. I only got through the first two targets before I saw the Mosquito Army flying towards me, intent on draining me of all of my blood once they carry me away to where there's no phone signal.

 Got this guy on the first shot and in the bonus too - which I don't remember counts as a tie-breaker 20 or a 21.
