This was a busy weekend! After taking a nice turkey on Saturday (see post “Turkey Time”), I went to the Lodi Bowmen Annual Cartoon Shoot on Sunday. The Cartoon shoot was my favorite shoot growing up. It always held my interest because we shot at painted cartoon characters. What kid wouldn’t like that?

Even though I don’t watch many cartoons anymore, I still really enjoy this shoot. The range is gorgeous and the members do a great job of keeping it that way. And the 42-target, 2-arrow format is my favorite type of shoot.

After shooting for six hours in beautiful sunshine, I posted one of my better scores with an 892 in Bowhunter Freestyle. I was very happy about the way I shot. Through 84 scoring arrows, I had only one arrow that I would consider a bad shot. And, for the first time, I shot a 22 (2 spots) on a 101-yard target. That is a major accomplishment for me.

First place in the BHFS class was a 903 by Buck Heyrend and Shawn Wood took second with a 902. Both of these guys are perennial top-class shooters at Redding, so I was pretty happy to be within 10 points of them. I also want to congratulate good friend Mario Vasquez, who shot an 898 in BHFS. A great score for a great guy.

Thanks to all the members of Lodi Bowmen for hosting a great event. I can’t wait until next year. Where else do you get to shoot Donald Duck in the face with an arrow?
