Hits ^ Misses In this telling will recount close calls of different ones and some guilt and though most have raised your Children now the children’s children your admiration doubled the worries real. Our class just had the class reunion well we did it seems a test run three of us one we hadn’t seen in thirty years met up at Decatur ******* Barrel close to six hours later we stumbled out we had a lot to talk about. Now for the Next session like an old mountain men Rendezvous were adding a lot more Monroe, Jefferson, St. and One pine street rep in fact where the first story happened in lees orchard the emblem between the titles Is significant now any one can play paint ball but let me show how Jefferson played two Lakers and a Denton one almost didn’t come out alive we wore the standard neighborhood issue rebel outfits heavy Coats extra rags for padding and a head band pulled down as low as possible for our only eye protection And the rule no head shots BB guns fully loaded let the game commence it was a bit terrifying sight Three scarecrows slowly advancing looking for a target that’s when the real terror when one was marked The problem I was carrying a toy bow but the arrow was mounted with a hunting tip it was blue and Looked like a razor blade but thicker but I’m sure you could shave with it sharp gleaming silver along the Edge for a weak it had been shot into sheds soft trees but over in the orchard it just bounced off of the Hard apple trees and it looked like the road sign showing a straight but curvy road ahead so with those Facts and the only fact that made it even try to be a real bow it had a hand grip that thickened it right in The middle in all the under growth Jerry walked out in the open walking away from me so mathematics Distance speed his steps mine halted just like the race with the train at a dead run you still was doing a Whole lot of figuring you don’t learn that in class so I raised the bow when I let it go it was a move in Archery where you’re just laying it down to get to the target with his dads leather bomber jacket on with That thick padding and those rags and the arrow just bouncing off the trees by now no problem well he Took the last step he didn’t know it but that step was across death’s threshold and he made it to Continued life because I hit him right where I aimed in the back a lot of padding but no body fat instead Of the arrow innocently hitting his jacket and bouncing off and dropping to the ground there was a Thunk and a scream of pain and terror it wasn’t cupid in the woods Geri it was stupid I ran up he was getting The coat off arrow still attached just the tip pierced his skin it didn’t feel like a bug bite believe me as I Said ever thing factored in and the greatest divine protection it wasn’t a heart shot but if I hadn’t given Him the last step it would have passed more than half way through destroying vital organs. He was ok but Retribution was swift and instant I beat it out of there like a rabbit but the no head shot rule was out Both of them bounced multiple B Bees off the side and back of my head I remember the sounds and Feelings they gave and my thoughts were blood is thicker than water I told you I know how to run.
Now my turn we were down in Bill’s yard this time we were upgraded we had a thirty pound pull fiber Glass bow from archery class headed by Mrs. Summers the old country girl teacher remember her Paddle and she loved to let it sing its favorite song sting ***** sting so any way the pain of those years Have faded we didn’t know it but we were about to make our own song I’m stuck in you. The stage set Everyone in place when you shoot a bow in the yard you’re going to come across this problem the arrows Will slide into the ground right at dirt level and then sew themselves up completely with grass as you Look down something like looking for night crawlers except its day no flashlight and it doesn’t involve Worm *** education so the fishing just involves finding the arrow this means is preferably done without One of the shooters down field with his head down looking for said arrow but what a thrill and your Friend Bill has done just that shot another one to help find the first one well you look up and he is out in The street doing a mime act flailing his hands jumping up and down his mouth is moving but nothing is Coming out I might be a little slow on the up take as they say but I got it death was on the wing I was its intended victim what could I do if I ran right I could run right into it left was the same possibility dive On the ground get an arrow right below your head in the neck doing what it does with the ground I Already heard the devil way those guys **** gators in the Everglade’s by ramming a wire down there Spine While still alive I didn’t want that experience or the other show where the guy said the worst way To **** is with a bow not only the arrow head but the shaft creates trauma to the nerves and I couldn’t jump straight up in the air no one wants to have their legs spread apart at a time like this so I did the Only thing left I followed Bill’s bird dance routine turned sideways to make less of a target and then Started bobbing my head up and down as I held it sideways looking for the biggest shaft I would get in Life the more I looked nothing except bill became more agitated then twenty feet straight out in front of Me there it was how curious and weird where was the beautiful yellow shaft and the two orange Feathers with the green guide feather yes I remember everything just like the shoot out in the orchard When people become intense everything is different those Laker boys normally weren’t that good of Shots and I was mighty interested in this particular arrow and it didn’t glide the way it looks from the Shooter it was wobbling and only the front was visible and it was black you don’t have to worry an Animal will never see anything this wasn’t chicken this time Still life was being played for and I won so When the arrow got close enough believe me I never took my eye off of it I gave it the disdain of the matador I just bent from the waist back out of the way and let it stick harmlessly behind me in the Ground well there is more hits and misses but they are more about guns and cars and I’m at twelve Hundred and forty one words already so keep an eye on the children it’s a dangerous world.
