Soaring arrows and feathers fluttering in the breeze marked Cub Scout Pack 123’s “Turkey Shoot” at the November pack meeting this past Saturday.
Cub Scouts from all five dens competed with homemade bows and arrows for prizes in craftsmanship, long distance shooting and accuracy.
Many scouts clearly put a lot of time into making the well crafted and ornately decorated bows and arrows displayed on the tables at the Rappahannock Park. Some arrows boasted real feathers neatly affixed to the notched end of the straighest twigs that could be found. The bows, made from branches or sapling tree trunks, sported carvings, hand grips, decorative beads, feathers, rawhide and colorful yam or string.
A blue and green peacock feather adorned one bow. Brass shell casings provided the tips for a pair of arrows in another set. A small skull served as an ornament on a particularly distinctive bow.
Faced with all this creativity, the judges had sone hard decisions to make in establishing placements. After much deliberation, the follwing scouts were awarded first place for the best-looking bow and arrow set in each den: Jeremy Miller, Humberto Perya, Daniel Pierson, Alex Purnell and Ben Price.
