After this week, and everything my family has been through(for those who haven’t heard yet click here.), I hadn’t really had time to think about certain things that I would miss. To be honest I had kind of forgotten about hunting until last night.

My cousin, Corrin, who was featured in this post I wrote, was asking me if I wanted to shoot our bows this weekend. Shoot? Well of course I want to shoot. Then I got to thinking about a post I did a few weeks back that told about our new 3D course we setup and how I would love to be shooting that this weekend(click here if you missed that post). The problem with that is this. The 3D course doesn’t exist anymore. Another thing that the tornado decided to scoop up and toss clear across the county. Then I started digging through the website and found the old pictures from that post and started comparing them to the pictures from recently. Wow! It is amazing the power of these storms.

The picture on the left is of the course in it’s good times, and the picture on the right was that same area last Friday. Unbelievable what destruction these things can do. We did find certain parts of our 3D targets we invested in, but couldn’t even come up with one complete deer to shoot at. Bummer. With only a few weeks left we all have to get back to shooting whenever we are able to.

So Corrin and I ,and everyone else who shoots with us, will have to just settle for shooting at our block targets at my parents house.. A minor inconvenience, if you compare it to what my cousins are going through. I still have a house, my health, and all my personal belongings. I just wish that we could shoot the course one more time! Oh well.

One last note…..we did find my cousin’s bow in the mess. It appears to still be in good shape. I am going to go through it tomorrow and clean it up, wax the string, and give it a good once over. A little light shining through this mess. I drew it back last night and everything appears to be okay. Hopefully he can whack a deer with it this year!!!
