I was at a bow shoot this weekend, Masi Showed up yesterday and today.  We talked a lot, shot bows, did the 3D course a couple of times, did a little slinging Saturday evening, we weren't all that good but I blame that on the ammo, jagged rocks of all sorts of weight, plus it was getting dark.  We were throwing at a traffic cone about 40 meters away, no hits but lots of really close misses.  Masi ordered a custom bow, it is going to be a fairly light bow, basically to learn the correct form and to build up his back and shoulders, after that, he may get a stronger bow.  He started making his own armguard, I had a piece of scrap leather laying around, so we went to one of the vendors and asked if we could trace one of his onto the leather.  He agreed so we did.  Another vendor had a leather punch that he let Masi use to punch his holes for the buttons to use to lace it closed.  
 
So, come the first weekend in Sept, Masi should be shooting his new bow while wearing his new armguard that he made.  He spent a lot of time talking to a bow maker, so he is getting started on becoming an archer as well as a slinger.  I had a great time and enjoyed the time I was able to spend with him.

Your both lucky, I would be honored to spend time with either of you.  Especially to get to sling together. That would be great.  Sounds like you both had fun. Hope it wasn't too hot.

Sounds good Masi. Maybe someday then.  

But if we had been throwing at supper, we would not have had any baked traffic cone that night.

Beats the hell out of trying to eat the rocks.
