Finally, I am on my long summer school break. It is the time of the year I really looked forward to. There are no school assignments and projects to be bothered about. I can also have uninterrupted practice at the range. But I have to fly to Jeddah for my yearly visit to my Dad. He has been working there for the past nine years. So I can still practice while on vacation, it was hurriedly decided that I bring my archery stuff to Jeddah.
When I arrived in Jeddah, my Dad went to look for a target butt so I can start practicing. He went from one sports store to another, but cant find one selling it. Then while we were cruising the highway, we saw bales of hay being sold. Jeddah has lots of dried hay because the people use it as fodder for the camels. This gave Dad an idea to use the bales of hay as my back stopper for my target butt.
