NFAA League - Marshall Bluff Bowhunters

Last week was the first week for this year's NFAA League at Marshall Bluff.  Instead of shooting at 3D foam animals at unknown distances, you shoot at black/white targets at known distances ranges from 15 feet all the way to 80 yards!!  Needless to say, it is quite a challenge!!  Last week was "Average" week and I scored a 199.  It's not a great score, but it is a starting point.  I had a cool encounter with an owl after shooting the third target.  While walking to the target to score my arrows, an owl (about the size of a football) was sitting on a log right next to the trail.  It scared the crap out of me.  I decided to go score my arrows and come back to take a closer look.  I was able to locate the owl in my binoculars from a farther distance.  He was an amazing site.  It was a great experience. 

This week was the first official week of the league.  I scored a 205.  My main goal is to just get better every week, so.....so far so good!!
