Archery!

Miran has taken up a new hobby and is getting very into it. He bought a recurve bow a little over a month ago - which is the Olympic style of bow. And there are lots of accessories for his bow - like sights and fletching tools. He is really enjoying researching and trying different things.

When he first got it, he took his bow to an archery shop in town for a little instruction and to buy some arrows. They let him test it out on their range.

And here he is just after a release in our back yard.

Here is the target after an average set of shots. He hits the box almost every time and is getting better about getting in the red or yellow. An occassional arrow still misses altogether and leads to a hunt in the grass.

And here he is fletching arrows. The arrows come in pieces and he has to put the points and other tips on as well as attach the feathers using this little gadget he bought.
