Anyone try archery as a hobby / sport for relaxation?

Watching an NHK World segment on Kyudo and seems to be a great way to center one’s mind and body.

I’ve done some archery hunting. Haven’t had much time anymore for it, but I plan to get back into it once I have free time again.

Did archery in 6th grade as part of gym. Just target arrows and recurve bows. It was a common part of the curriculum where I grew up.

In 7th grade (Jr high) they offered hunter safety as an elective. You could bring in your 22 rifle on the bus, turn it in when you got to school and it was locked up into your hunter safety locker. Hunter safety course taught you the details of gun safety, how to clean them, and so forth. We even had an indoor firing rage for target practice (30 or 50 yd.. I forget).

Lot's of hunters in northern WI. In the fall, during deer season, it was almost a holiday. If you went hunting, you had to fill out a form and get it signed off from all of your teachers and co signed by your parents. Teachers would send school work and assignments home to do while you were deer hunting. I'm not a hunter but I would guestimate 1/3 of the student population at school were out hunting during deer season.

Latest on the job search:

Manufacturing/Process engineer with Avery Dennison. Phone interview last Tues went well with the HR so they set up a Zoom interview yesterday with hiring manager. That went well. This coming Tues is a 3rd interview for face to face with the senior management team and plant tour.

They want a hands on, on the floor problem solving engineer. Some of the ones that they had before were egocentric and didn't like getting dirty (this coming from the hiring manager). This facility had a shake up and kicked out some of the old school folks that didn't like change. They are bringing some fresh blood to get them current with the times. This facility is lagging behind in implementing ERP/MRP systems and a lot of stuff is still done on paper. They also are trying to implement and embrace a lean manufacturing culture.

Fingers crossed.

5:30 AM Masshole time... have about 8" of white stuff on the ground so far. Heavy wet snow. Good for snowball fights, snowman, and snow forts. Not so good if you have to shovel it.

One benefit of apt/condo living... I don't have to shovel. I can just sit inside and let the landscaping guys do it.

Got vetoed on the pig wrapped in pig last night. By popular vote it's crock pot chicken alfredo (again) for supper tonight. The kids like it but after three weeks of doing the same dish for the past three Saturdays, I'm getting tired of it. I'll will admit, though, the recipe I latched onto is pretty good. Maybe fry up a pound of bacon, crumble it and toss it in with the chicken alfredo.

Chicken, bacon, broccoli alfredo sounds pretty good to me.

I gots no major plans for the snowy weekend so I'll do the pork roast on Sunday. Hopefully I have some rosemary to add for rubbing my pork.
