Tonight I came up with my own version of a smoked duck breast poutine using the breast meat from a couple of wood ducks I got last fall. Using russet potatoes I cut them to French fry size and soaked in a ice bath for an hour. I then seasoned them with some buffalo wing seasoning and put them in the smoker for an hour at 180F just to give them some flavour. I would finish them in the oven at 400F to get them crispy. I cooked down 4 red onions in a cast iron pan until they were caramelized. Once the potatoes were finished in the smoker I took the duck breast and hit them with a bit of steak spice and then smoked them at 225F until about 140F internal. In another pan I sauteed mushrooms and garlic. I got my girlfriend to make the gravy as that's her specialty Combine in a bowl and hit them with the cheese curd and smother with gravy and some green onion on top.

Well the ash arrows fly well, they're definitely tough. Hit a few stumps that were harder than I thought. Including one 2X4 😆. They were still straight when we got home so I think i have them trained now. Had to tweak one, but barely. Best way to spend a long weekend, a longbow and a dog.

My wife and I along with a handful of volunteers hosted an Easter Fun Shoot at our local club today. 45 people participated. What was very interesting was all but 7 were new to archery. Very exciting to see new faces enjoying the sport for the first time. I had to dive into the clubs new bow and arrow stache to make sure everyone had equipment for the day. I know, good problem to have. What I also liked was just how many people wanted to shoot the trad bows over the Genesis compounds. We have a variety of recurves from 18-45lbs draw weight. In both left and right hand. I’ve worked hard to get our equipment modernized and see more and more wanting to shoot the recurves. Warms my heart. We even had a couple of our regulars who shoot compounds try and really enjoy traditional bows. Win win for all of us. Lots of smiles, lots of laughs and many memories were made today.
