A winter wonderland mate - truly beautiful!!!

They are excellent photos and thanks for taking them and sharing them with us. Things just look so different to here.

I still can't see that hare. :? :D

Oh, in case you didn't know, that hand warmer you are using in the photo of you sitting can be quite bad for your health. :wink: :lol:

I guess my white fletches might not be the best choice if shooting in those conditions. :shock:

Looking at all those photos just goes to show that there is always a lot to see if one only opens their eyes and takes the time to look. Thanks once again for showing as another glimps of your part of the world.

Jeff,

white fletches wouldnt change much, when you miss the arrows most likely gone till the snow melts! I lost 2 today :?

Heres the hare, tried to focus and outline it. Just the head and shoulder are visible:

Fantastic Axel, so different to what we're used to. I gotta get out and see snow first hand at least once in my life, it just looks amazing. :D
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

great pictures mate

its got me buggered why clubs put targets where if you miss you lose your arrow.
it cant be that hard to put the 3d target up against a embankment or something can it?
You hear people say well dont miss. Great in theory ill give it that :D

We have on our property no banks, hills or anything so its hard to put those targets against one. We installed backsops whereever needed but when you miss the backstop also and with the snow its gone. Without snow theres normally no problem...

great photos. I was going to ask how do you find your misted shots, but you answered it for me.
woodie
may your arrows fly straight and true and your limbs return.
