“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.

who are you
Who are you

You are a champ
You are a winner
you are who you are

You are Gods child
You are loved by GOD
You are wonderful

God loves YOU
But not just you
He loves
ALL OF US

I have played minecraft so much that I think I can teach Mrs Morris.  I will build a creeper zoo and a chapel along with a golem play ground and a red stone museum and White Oak School.  It will be called boom town a small village in minecraftiea.

My taste is my favorite sense. It lets me taste those juicy burgers or the sweet chocolate on my tiny taste buds.. It’s taste that let’s my taste buds roar when I eat a sousage biscut.

With out it my life could be dull and boring. Without taste I couldn’t taste a cake or a piece of chocolate. That’s. why I don’t want to lose my taste.

My hero is my Grumpy. So lets get on with it. It all started a few years ago…

“ I promise you will get to do everything you want to do starting with hunting” . So we got out there and I shot a little. He showed me everything to do and not to do. A year later I killed a deer. So later on he got me a bow which  he promised me.

Well he is a hero because he is always there for me. He will always find time for me and never I mean never lets me give up. He will help me and he does everything he can to keep me safe.

He is also a leader. Not one who is bossy but a good one who can be kind and generous. He can also follow. He is respectful and will stand up for others.

So that’s my hero and thats why he’s my hero. He’s not just my hero he’s my Grumpy. This is my hero and he is the best in the world to me.

BOOM!

I hear the gun

BOOM!

There it is again

as I run to my shelter

I see my sweet doe drop dead

as I stop for a drink

BOOM!

A deers life can be so short

then the area goes dark

the last thing I feel is is the sweet green grass

I feel myself slipping away floating in the breeze

like a leaf without care

I see the light

I’m finally here

my place

my home

haven for me

A winning poem By

Tyler B

“Beep beep beep”, “Beep beep beep”. “Yes it’s time to hunt,” I said. “Ok then deerslayer get dressed,”Grumpy said with sarcasm.

I put on my jacket and got on the four wheeler. we rode off to the stands. It took a few minutes to get there but it was worth it.

“Hand me the heater,” Grumpy said. I handed him the heater then I got in. We sat down and waited.

crack I heard somthing eco through the woods. “There it is,” Grumpy said with a whisper. he handed me the gun and I set up. The deer was walking away. Grumpy yelled,”yep yep”. the dear frose. BANG! I shot at him. he kicked and ran away. I didn’t miss it I thought. “I don’t think you hit…,” “I hit him,” I interrupted. We went in a circle then some friends showed up. We looked again. Then we found him. Grumpy picked me up and said, “You hit him you really hit him!” If I never would have taken a chance I never would be successful.

“Wow this is good grumpy,” I said.”I can’t  wait to kill this next dear,” I said.”You need to I love this back strap,” Grumpy said jokingly.” I’m not going to miss this next dear” I thought.
