Nice Shot Archery

Tohajiilee is a Native-American community about 20 minutes west of Albuquerque and north of Interstate 40.


Directions were a bit vague but I eventually found it. It's BLM so can be a future redoubt.

About 60 people showed up, nearly all Natives. I fell in with the Anderson Lee group which included his wife and a youngish couple Evan and Meg.

Anderson's only 68 so my three-year venerability gave me pride-of-place.

The two women saw a large lizard over a foot long and several inches around. I speculated it might've made a nice snack. Anderson told how the grand-children had visited for a month and had gone prairie dog hunting. I'd heard prairie dog is good eating and though Anderson said they hadn't cooked 'em up, he described how to prepare them. 

 Meg has a bow taller than she is and Anderson has several bows made by Harold Groves including a "Prestige" model.

It was a nice get-together. Targets varied in size and were about 12-15 meters from shooting point.

I stayed about an hour. Pretty much my limit for anything these days.
