Doh!

Popped up to the range this morning to go archery practice, and realized we'd forgotten that Sundays are skeet shooting, which means that the archery range is closed (they have this thing about archers getting hit with pieces of clay pigeon shrapnel, it seems!).  We did get both bows put together, though (pair of compound recurve bows, both 60 inches, one is 50 pounds and the other (mine) 45, so both legal for hunting once we get good), and tomorrow morning we'll head back up and actually string the bows for the first time.

Looking forward to doing target practice.  It's been years since I've had the opportunity to do archery (I believe I've shot bow on two different occasions, if memory serves), but now that we have the equipment and the membership, we can go up any time the archery range is open and shoot for free.  Plus, during winter they hold archery indoors.  Cool!

I do hope they catch whoever has been shooting broad-head arrows into the targets, though.  There was a sign up about it, so once they catch the perpetrator red-handed they'll never be allowed back.  It's so silly to be shooting broad-head arrows at the targets, especially when there are special sand pit sections where you can practice shooting with broad-head!

Anyhow, Maxx is now off to play D&D with friends ... I keep wishing we thought our house was clean enough to have the group here, but that's what comes of two folks keeping different hours and long days.  I'll be finishing off the dog food and feeding the dogs, then doing up the last few dishes and seeing if I have a recipe for nectarine jam, then getting that on the go and hopefully also making apple sause.  Dad suggested that we pick some of the crab apples from the tree in the park next door and use them to make apple jelly.  Need to see if I can find a recipe for that, too!
