This was the first Spring Fling of many more to come.
May 31, 2008 - This past Saturday ROOTS held a traditional archery shoot for the community. Despite the rain, the event was well attended, with archers of all ages. Through the efforts of a number of committed and creative people we were able to hold space for a 20-shot 3D course, aerial shooting, and instinctive shooting tutorial. A notable mention goes out to G and Oliver who held to the task of fashioning a 'spooked grouse' that flew up into the trees by means of a crafty weighted lever action. That was a pleaser, along with a similar 'running' deer. The day ended at dusk, with a tutorial on making and shooting flaming arrows...which are dangerously fun. see raucous take down of the straw man.

To anyone who reads this and thinks they missed a good time. You can catch up and check out the ROOTS Rendezvous this October.
