    Always done that.Would like to see better hunting saftey courses.Seemed so much time in the many I attended was taken up on "breaks" .Not so much for the youngsters sake rather for the adults to smoke.Always good idea teach first aid.

    My husband morphs back and forth archery/rifle/fishing. Recently trap caught his attention. He found a thower with voice command, so he could practice solo....(if that might interest you)

    Sorry, just damm sorry.

    There's some BenchRest matches held in various places in upstate NY. Even Dunhams bay shoots matches during the winter months. Crazy fools. Crazy cold but it was fun.
    Maybe a change of pace would do you well. Just go and watch one. See if it might interest you. Most would find watching about as interesting as paint drying. You'll never find a group,of people more honorable and willing to help than at a BR match.

    I will be at deer camp soon. First year in 15 without my older generation camp family. I will certainly miss them being there, but I know that regardless of their lack of physical presence, we will be together in spirit and memories. I think I will have many laughs as I remember the good times of previous trips. Those memories can not be taken away.
