Patiently waiting his turn.

Retrieving the arrows.

Alex taking aim with his new bow.

He hit the deer in the face.

...and now it's the antler's turn to take the abuse.

Tim helping Ryan with something...

Unfortunately these aren't arrows from Alex and Ryan, Tim took his turn.

We had somewhat of a break in our hockey this weekend with only Ryan having two games in Huron. He and Kevin were back by 2pm yesterday and I believe the original plan was for Tim to then take the boys ice fishing in the new ice house his dad bought this year (it has a television with a satellite....that doesn't sound like roughing it). Apparently the fishing isn't good right now so Tim offered to shoot with the boys instead. They set up the deer and a couple of other targets in our snowy backyard. The snow is fairly deceiving and doesn't look too deep, but it was up to our knees in some areas and it made looking for arrows a challenge. We're missing a couple that we'll have to look for when the snow melts, but I didn't think that was too bad considering the targets were missed 75% of the time. :)
