what bow is that. looks short and handy.
The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

Thanks guys,the photo's of the billies took about an two hours to get as we spent nearly an hour laying in the long grass with mob after mob of nannies and kids walking past us to water at distances of ten to twenty feet.The ground was full of prickles,I was digging splinters out of my knee's for months afterwards.The pics don't give a good idea of the distance from me to the goats,with the billies I am only twenty feet away from them.I shot four goats that trip and brought home three of them for eating,made lovely roast back legs and stews with the rest.Will post more pics from the trip soon.
