Archery obsession and a photo shoot!

Arrows whizzing through the living room, crossbows and recurve bows and compound bows on the dining room table, archery supply catalogue by the bed and conversations that involve the words "will you buy me a bow if......".
This is our life right now.
As my friend (whose kids share this obsession) said this morning; "The Hunger Games sure has a lot to answer for!".

Using a combination of kenex pieces, masking tape, rubber bands and good old skewers, the boys have constructed all manner of shooting apparatus. There is fine engineering happening amidst cries of "phwoaar! Did you see how far that one went?"
We designed a rather unfortunate clown type target who has been gleefully massacred and is still smiling.

Flex here can't wait til I start real archery classes next week.
Yep. It's going to get real people.
So apart from archery, the boys also had the experience of participating in a professional photo shoot. Our neighbours house and property was to be featured in an international publication and they needed some kids....the photographer commented on how well the boys took direction and how good their manners were?!?!?? Hey - so much for the feral and unruly homeschoolers!!
