Archery!

Oh yeah, that too. Chicken and horse feed is our issue. Luckily we have a Jack Russel Terrier. She is the gentlest friendliest dog I have ever met. But woe to any rat that crosses her path. She changes into a ferocious monster in an instant.

We had mice living in our garage for a while, I think we finally got rid of the last of them a few months ago. They used to take my dad's deer corn and put it in random places, like his harness gear, and inside the boat. They literally put it on top of a car battery that was inside his car, and they chewed his welding blanket, and…it was just kind of a mess. ~Jak

They are such a nuisance. They've gotten into boxes of stored blankets and torn them and made nests. And then we had this large solid storing bin for horse feed, and you could see all these marks where they tried to eat through it. Like, how desperate are you?

(We had a box full of plastic animal water bottles, and the rats ate them! I was shuddering in disgust when my mom gave me the job of sorting through them to salvage the ones that weren't eaten.)

I am honestly amazed at what they can go through. And you have my pity, dear. Going through rat eaten mess is no pleasant task as I unfortunately know.
I had to sort through blankets once. They had huge holes in them and some of them had even been used as nests. It was so gross.

(shudders Glad there's someone else who understands. lol)

(lol. Yeah well, boards like this often go off topic.)

Haha, I think I've been responsible for quite a few of them. Sorry about that.

(Yeah, true.)

Yeah, I've enjoyed it. But we can go back to archery, if you all want :D

(Which do you prefer? Traditional or Compound?)

Traditional. I don't have any doubt about that. Compounds are to chunky and modern for me. I mean, since I'm into fantasy and all that, I just really love the traditional fan.
Have you read Ranger's Apprentice? It's part of the reason I really got into archery.

(lol. Haven't really read past the first book, but I have heard about it. I like compound, just 'cause it's easier to aim. I took up archery because my mom made me. Continued 'cause it was something I was insanely good at.)

I'm more used to Compound, because that's what I have to shoot in tournaments, but I do have a recurve bow as well.

I have tried a compound and they are nice and easy, but yeah, I love the recurve. I really love elves and fantasy rangers and I can't imagine them with compounds. Lol, basically the only reason I like the recurve. Although, modern elves might like compund, I guess.

Lucky you, I'm insanely good at being insanely good at nothing. The other reason I got into archery was because I really love elves and they are usually pictured with the traditional bow.

Hahaha, a lot of people have trouble getting past the first book. I've read the whole series although I haven't started the Royal Ranger (which branches out of the series). I mean, I read the Royal Ranger book which was the 12th Ranger's Apprentice book, but is now the beginning of the Royal Ranger series. It's confusing, but I hope you get what I mean. The girl characters are terrible but I love the guys to bits. You should really try and continue.

Hey, @elvirawolfheart, I was on Storybird today and I saw an account with the same name as yours. Are you on SB too?

*Claps hands and cheers * Yay, another birdy! Yes, that was me you saw. I am writing the book called Together. It's not the best thing I've started writing and I'm not particularly that pleased with it, but a fair few people seem to have enjoyed it. What's your username, may I ask?

Thanks! I'm a little insecure about my writing, lol.

Hmm, maybe I should go stalk you.

Are you leaving too? I'm thinking of shifting to Wattpad or something.

I guess most writers are a little insecure. It's just that what I create (be it art or writing), it's a part of me, so it's like I'm opening up to the world and letting them see inside. And if someone makes a hurtful comment about what you created, it's like they are saying something personal. I've been made fun of my other hobbies (singing and art), so I'm very nervous about my writing now.

(I totally get that. I've been told that I sing well by my mom and one of my friends, but then my brother kept insisting that I sound like a dying goose, so I've been scared to sing anything. [My whistling improved though.] And then I don't like to show my writing because it always felt like people were lying through their teeth when they picked up my stories and read it.)

@"Whisper of a demisexual nonbinary nerd"

Well, I was told I sounded like a dying cow by both my brother and sister.

@"Jaq, whose heart beats for one who does not love it back"
My parents wouldn't think it would be worth paying for, so I don't have that option. Oh well, I'll see how it goes.

(lol. I guess it's a sibling thing.)

(My little sister and I love each other. My little demon bro and I are violent enemies though.)
