What did you do today?

I built a workbench, a DIY bow cradle to hold my bow while using a bow master press, and organized the little bit of items/ tools I have started to collect and learning how to work on my own bow. It’s something I have always wanted to do, but secretly scared I’m going to mess something up. But, I have to drive 2.5 hrs for a quality shop so I figured bows as good of time as any to start tinkering and learning how to do it myself...

Early this morning shot the target bow for an hour.
Ate some breakfast and went to the range with my saddle and hunting set up.

Shot some clays with my dad. Actually shot really well. Was 5 for 5 most magazines. Crossing shots too, not just straight going away like i usually have to settle for when I'm solo. Was happy to see the old man shooting pretty well too. Pain free, he said. Maybe I can find an easy place for us to walk in and ambush some birds.
Took the canoe out with a new light. @swampsnyper talked me into a headlamp, and then he talked me into velcroing it to the bow of the boat. Worked like a charm. Was able to run the river wide-open with confidence. Kill switch, life jacket, nav light....feels good feeling good out there in the fog.
Climbed a tree with bolts for the first time since 2019. I've gotten a bit rusty. Took me 12 minutes to hang my pack and settle in at 15ft. Got to perch on these bad boys...
Gotta say, they're a bit lighter and easier to pack than the ole ambush. Pretty easy on the swamp-stompers too.

This was yesterday but who knew the hit of my boys 3rd and 6th birthday party would be swinging from the saddle. They talked my niece into it too. The two younger ones wanted to go higher and faster lol.
Are those bike pedals? That's an interesting idea... I wonder if I could make that work in a public friendly-no drill way...
If im not mistaken, they are bike pedals over the top of bolts, similar to the treehopper pedals

They're something new treehopper cooked up and sent me. I've been messing with them since the weekend. Should be able to do a video here shortly. They're nice.
Finally completed the back deck cover. Seemed like it took the whole summer.
Went out a scouted some public I haven't been on in years. Some reasonable sign but what I found interesting was this. Someone has put a spring loaded "gong" target on a powerline with a nice hill backstop. The interesting thing to me was that, other than the 30yds to the wet section through the swamp, the next possible dry land to shoot from is over 700yds away by my Huntstand app. That's a poke. Given there were no marks on the freshly painted target either he hasn't shot at it yet or he hasn't been able to hit it.
Might not want to stand next to it very long...
Funny, that was exactly my first thought when I figured out exactly what it was . . . 
Good thing you're in the south. Up here that landing spells ICE DAMS and would cause damage and backflow unless you used rubber roofing. Nice touch though!
Threw together a little stand to hang my bag target on. Should make bare shaft / paper tuning a little easier.

Nice backstop. I bet it will be able to Dodge a few arrows before one Rams into it...
Pumped out a foot of water from a basement and replaced the sump pump. It works now.
Filed off the sharp corners of a tool steel rod to use it as concentricity checker for my newly mounted toy (looks like she's straight!)...
Tried out my new saddle hunting pack for all of my saddle gear
