Description

I haven’t been to a woodchop in over 10 years, and I was surprised to see two girls had taken up this rugged sport. I have to admit I was surprised at how well they performed against the men as well. They certainly didn’t run last!

Wow, that is fantastic, John! It is hard to do, and to compete against men would make it really hard. <>< #11528775

Well, it definitely takes precision & skill to compete in this sport, John. One bad move, and it's over. Good for the ladies to be competing with the men. Wonderful shot. #11528816

Ah yes, once women started getting tattoos, all the rules changed brother John. HeeHee! This looks very VERY interesting and I hope no one got hurt! We have sure watched the world changed in our generations haven't we?! I still like ladies and gentlemen to be ladies and gentlemen but it's also great to see everyone being allowed into all the fun if they want. I remember dad being impressed that I could out shoot, out golf and out arch the boys of my age. The boys weren't impressed (at the time!!) but I was tickled with myself and I know that I could sure never be a fireman or any number of things that they went on to be. I took Auto shop in 12th grade and got straight A's but never much let on to men later in life that I know much about cars. It's all too much for most of them, Lol!! :)))) I know my limits, after all! Ahahahah! Fun to be in your gallery today!!
