Been feeling crapped out/depressed for a while. Brought my bag target in the house today, and have been shooting on & off throughout the day. Danged if I don't feel better. Much better ! Archery is good for the soul !

Just been shooting bare shafts, and listening to my wife harp at me for shooting in the house. Very good for working on concentration.

My arrows whiz by the TV so fast, that the wife & mil don't even see them. Since they are bare shaft, they don't hear them either.

I'd never hear the end of it if I shot in the house. Since she actually owns half of the house I wouldn't have any say so.🤣

This may sound weird, but my archery has always been almost like a spiritual experience for me.
If my arrows fly straight, and true, they hit their mark. Same as with most other things in life.

It's a release or escape from stressful stuff for me. I can go stumping and escape but hate it when the time to be somewhere or the sun is setting comes around. Sometimes shooting in the back yard works but getting in the woods is best. Some folks look at me weird when I don't want a score card at a 3D shoot. 😆

Yeah I agree, there's a spiritual / escape from reality / Zen thing happening. The stressful day and everything else going on in life always seems to disappear while I'm shooting. I do need to get out and stump shoot more but being I'm in Kalifornia it's a long way to go to get away from people and a potential hassle.

Yep, a stressful day at work and I feel way better after flinging some arrows. Inside or outside it dont matter.

If I shot in the house there would be a come to Jesus meeting. Of the porch and through the open door is good though. <>< del
