“East Texas Archery” The best shop on earth! Its like bow heaven. This is the day when arrows fly.

 As we entered I heard a  “RING” “RING” from the bell on the door. “Hello, welcome to East Texas Archery,”a man bellowed from behind the counter. “Hello we’re here for my grandsons bow,” my Grumpy told him proudly.  “Okay then lets get that draw length” the man told us. The draw length is how far to pull back the string on the bow. He adjusted the length then I pulled back on the bow.

Next we got the poundage which is how hard to pull back. We set the poundage and checked. If we didn’t get it right the first time we repeated the process until it was perfect.

Next is my favorite part…. SHOOTING!!!!!! First I would shoot. and we’re I put the arrow we would sight in from there. I pulled the string back breathed and “thump”. Bullseye.

After that we sawed an arrow literally. The man measured me then he cut the arrows.

It smelt like burning rubber and fiberglass.

Then we shoot again and sadly went home. I knew I would have good times with this bow. I got to see the new from the old. Most of all I learned to take your time even under pressure.
