Time to head out. Bags to pack. Check my list, and check it again. Damn OCD. Check the weather in New York. Right… it’s COLD. The daffodils may be popping here in Virginia, but not in Central Park. Hit the Interwebs and look for an archery range in Manhattan. “Probably not,” says the husband. “Real … Continue reading »

Ribbons And Crossbows
Archery Fashion… Could any phrase be more (oxy)moronic? It elicits an odd mental image of a burly guy in camo posing next to Ki Bo Bae in tennis-match white with her cute little floppy hat — the polar opposite of “style.” But wait! Thanks to the preponderance of Post-Apocalyptic and Pre-Industrial Age archery in recent pop … Continue reading »
Two Cheers for The Green Arrow
St. Patrick may have expelled the “snakes” from Ireland, but unfortunately for me, he didn’t use a bow and arrow. So in earnest search for an appropriately Green archery subject for St. Paddy’s day, I turn, reluctantly, to The Green Arrow. Like many other superheroes, the Green Arrow is the alter ego of a billionaire. … Continue reading »
After All The Chores Are Done…
On overwhelmingly busy days, sometimes I need to remember this is out in the backyard. It keeps me going. Does anyone else occasionally get just flattened by it all?
Archery Can Save The World
Could philosophy help you bull’s-eye a target from the back of a horse at a full gallop? The 1500 year old Japanese samurai art of horseback archery is called Yabusame. This morning, I came across an article about yabusame from Catrien Ross of Energy Doorways. For some mysterious reason, I paused. I think it was … Continue reading »
The 8 Signs of a Zombie Archery Blog
Come and listen to the story of a man named Dead… I recently unearthed an unholy secret: the dreaded Zombie Apocalypse has already begun, but it’s not what you’d expect from watching “Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Living Dead.” Rather, it seems that silent, shifty Zombies are surreptitiously … Continue reading »
And Now On BBC2 — Archery Lessons
Three British Archery stories. One takeaway. I admit it. I’m kind of a nerd about England. I totally dig it. I love the traditional British cuisine, especially dishes with exquisite names like “Bubble and Squeak” and “Spotted Dick.” I prefer the BBC News, which, lacking soundtracks, celebrity obsessions and blazing graphics, makes our American news … Continue reading »
Arrows of Outrageous Fortune – or – Life Happened Again
Funny how it happens. You have it all planned out, down to the tiniest detail. Reservations made, research done… why, you’ve even watered the plants a day early (instead of the usual two weeks late). And then… Life Happens. This morning, Life Happened in the form of a group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus, or, in the … Continue reading »
Archery Becomes A Passion
Prepping for my first BIG archery tournament. The 44th U.S. National Indoor Championships are being held in eleven different locations on three weekends. The Harrisonburg, VA location is only two hours away from where we live! Yay! Marc is shooting — and I am acting as Official Reporter. Why am I not shooting, you ask? … Continue reading »
Archery, One; Cold, Zero.
It’s more than chilly out; the gyrating wind cuts to my bones. But inside the indoor range of the Archery Program at Bull Run, the smiles are warm and I feel welcomed. Marc is well-known here, one of the regulars now. I feel more legit because of that, but also a little like the tail … Continue reading »
