In the past, if we ever talked about moving close to my family, Soren’s biggest complaint was that Missouri had no mountains. What would he do for fun?? We’ll now that we have moved to Missouri, he has found a few things.
As a kid he was into archery and even made his own arrows to shoot in the backyard. He has gotten back into that hobby and bought a longbow about a year ago. He has tested out several over the last year and built quite a few targets too. The hay bales in the field behind us also have taken a few arrows. Soren really enjoys shooting to let off steam after work and has gotten really good. Here are a few shots of him in action.
Being the craftsman he is, he has handmade many items needed for archery. He made his quiver and arm guard out of leather and they turned out amazing. He would really like to get into making his own arrows and has bought some of the supplies to do it.
His latest project was this bow rack. It turned out perfect! All he needs is a man cave to hang it in. The unfinished basement will have to do for now.
